It’s Tuesday… and I spent most of the night awake due to 1) the strong winds blowing outside, 2) a baby who was mercilessly being awoken by teething pains every 10-15 minutes, 3) the fear of a tyranasaurus rex coming to take me away at any moment (scary storms and too little sleep combined [...]
Lots of people asked about what it’s like to be a “working mom” over this past year (and in the question box last week). In my post a few days ago, I alluded to the fact that we’re a working family and I’m not just a working mom. Does everything get shared exactly 50/50 every [...]
We are a two-parent, full-time working household. I’m not just a “working” mom… we’re a working family. And this is no better illustrated than what happened this week, or late last month, when the baby gets sick. Kids get sick. They get colds, earaches, fevers, etc. no matter if you stay at home with them [...]
For our last vacation recap post, I’ll share a couple of fun baby videos with you! The first is the start of Baby M’s fun at the Playhouse Disney LIVE! show. (It also shows her mom, aka. me, being very silly. If you didn’t believe that I know what the backside of Goofy’s eyes [...]

Now you’d think I’d take [...]

Please excuse my mess of clothes. Oh wait, these aren’t my messes… these are baby clothes! 26 pounds of baby clothes, if you really want to count!
Now how/why did I possibly amass so many clothes? Well… let’s blame Jade. She ever-so-graciously took pity on my bargain hunting soul and invited me [...]
On Saturday, we made another trip down to Emeryville to visit PIXAR Studio’s during their only “kinda open to the public” day with the whole family in tow. Last year, Baby M visited by proxy in my tummy, but this year she was able to play along and enjoy the whole place with us!

Can you guess what our family’s costume theme was?
I’ll give you a clue… I’m missing spikes (due to my severe inability to sew them)… .

And Baby M? She’s almost “toothless”…

Did you guess it yet?

Head on over to Mr. M’s blog (ThisDad.com) today for a special treat…

If you’ve ever seen Suze Orman discuss financial responsibility, you probably already know what I’m about to say as my disclaimer, so I’ll just quote her,
