Sleep, Beautiful Sleep
I remember browsing the web for infant sleep sacks when I was pregnant and thinking, great concept, lame-o execution.
The Magic Kingdom? Down the Hall, Turn Right at the Bathroom
Craftiness is not my forte. Which means no, I’m not going to be painting a mural or stenciling a border in the new baby’s nursery any time soon. But there is something to be said for having some wall art over her crib that can’t possibly fall on her head.
I’m Tiger Woods. A Very, Very Small Tiger Woods.
It’s February which means at long last, I can start counting the minutes until I have my family intact on Sundays again. Of course it’s only a matter of weeks until I trade my football widow status for my golf widow status. And sadly, that’s not limited to one day a week.
Shower Invites That Get The Crazed, Hormonal Nutjob Seal of Approval
While I’m pretty laid back in most areas of my life, as far as party planning I cannot let one detail go overlooked–handpicked favors, handmade invites, the works. When it came time for my baby shower, you can imagine that I was a full-blown nutcase.
