The last three days have comprised almost entirely of dealing with Monday’s Catastrophe, which ended up being far worse than I originally thought. But more on that later. At any rate, due to the around-the-clock wind tunnel created by two dehumidifiers the size of New Hampshire and six blowers with the noise volume of a […]
Sleepwalking is a Genetic Disorder.
I would like to take a moment to thank my new video monitor for convincing me that Noah will never be allowed to move out of his crib. …and yes, he was asleep for almost all of that. Heaven help his wife.
She Loves Them Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
My Mom continuously serenaded me during my formative years. (Later, she apologized for this, as she was quite afraid that she had crippled my musical abilities. Her High School choir teacher had, after all, asked her to please just lip sync.) But instead of kid’s songs (although she sang those, too), her shuffle was usually […]
The Dream Project.
Since I like to bring a sense of balance to my blog, I often find myself teetering precariously between posts about horrible admissions of guilt or embarrassment and exciting eureka moments. So obviously, after the Third Nipple Incident, I owe you something great. Unfortunately, I have nothing great. But a marginally good idea of something […]
The Complications of Riding a Roomba.
Several months ago, Chris introduced me to the fabulous YouTube trend that is the sport of combining a Roomba, a Bumbo, and a Baby. It was brilliant. It was hilarious. And I was jealous that I hadn’t thought of it. (I mean, with names like Bumbo and Roomba, why didn’t I realize the obvious destiny […]
Because I Like to Be Helpful: Baby Feeding Tips.
* One should be very structured in introducing babies to solid foods. Do not introduce them to too many different flavors at once, and keep the variety of foods to safe, bland choices. ** Rice cereals should be offered first (unless your particular doctor says they’re now poisonous…much debate is currently in action over the […]
The Side Effects of Blogging, as Indicated in Children.
Ali, of course, is my blog’s biggest fan. She pores over every single word I write, reading and re-reading every post. Her eyes well up with tears as she thanks me, overflowing with gratitude, for documenting her childhood in such a laborious and meaningful way. Okay, maybe that’s just what I hope she’ll do one […]
Explosions, of the Peep Variety.
People are passionate about their Easter Candy Experience. I had no idea of this phenomenon until I wrote my thesis on Cadbury Mini Eggs, and watched it become my most popular post of the month. But the most fascinating concept that came out of that post was…exploding Peeps. I knew that Peeps were a well-experimented-on […]
Answers, Part One: The Accent Project.
You all asked a bunch of awesome questions on last week’s post, and in the attempt to answer them all as thoroughly as possible without having a two-thousand word post, I’ve decided to split my answers up into three posts: 1. The Accent Project, 2. Homeschooling (since the majority of your questions fell into this […]
Breakfast Globetrotting.
Ali and I took a somewhat long school “break” during the Winteriest part of Winter, partially because we were busy, and partially because I just didn’t have a lot of motivation for much of anything else. (Darn winteriest winter ever. It effected me greatly.) Now that it’s nearly summertime and she should rightfully have a […]
