Chomp. It’s a slow morning over here.  Per the usual.  A rough night with the wee one always leads to a slow morning.  Henry decided 5 AM was an excellent time to tell me all about his theories on… something.  It sounded important.  The baby babble is super cute so I can’t be annoyed.  But [...]

I had a good day.  I met up with my mom group at a kids’ museum, and I hit up a consignment sale (and you know how I feel about consignment sales).  I did lose one of my favorite earrings – don’t you hate it when that happens?! – and one of Henry’s cute green [...]

Introducing… the best cat invention ever. While browsing cat litter boxes on Amazon (hello, Amazon Prime – free 2-day shipping – is the best. thing. that. ever. happened. to. me), I came across the Roll ‘N Clean Litter Box.  It was subtitled, “The litter box that cleans itself,” and has over 2,400 customer reviews ranking [...]

Good morning. I have an amazing cat invention to share with you… Stay tuned for the lunch post for it.  Cat lovers will surely appreciate this (any ideas what it could be?)!  I never thought I would count myself in the ‘cat lovers’ camp but I think Pippa is converting me…  Cats are pretty cool.  [...]

Good morning.  Or should I say afternoon?  It’s a rather slow day around here.  I can’t seem to get much of anything done, but that’s to be expected with the wee one.  Let’s see… So far, we have had a baba (bottle) or two, played in the nursery (trying to associate it with fun times, [...]

It’s pomegranate season! Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits, but they sure are a pain to cut and prepare.  Almost as bad as cantaloupes!  The biggest issue with the lovely pom is the mess created by remove the arils.  But out of all the pomegranate cutting techniques that I’ve tried, this is definitely the [...]

First things first:  Thanks for all the great advice regarding our first kitty.  To answer some questions:  Pippa will be an indoor cat.  We live near a very busy road.  It’s just not safe.  We aren’t going to declaw her, and I really do need to get her some toys and scratching posts.  And like [...]

Meet Pippa.  We adopted her from a rescue group over the weekend.  It seems spontaneous, but it was not.  We’ve been considering the idea to bring a kitty into our house for a few weeks.    It all started when our friends Nicole and Isaac rescued a cat named Roo from the shelter.  Roo is [...]

Kitty says thanks for the warm welcome! Her adoption story is coming soon, but for now – she’s living in the master bathroom and bedroom, trying to adjust to her new space.  She’s a pretty fearless kitty – with two BB pellets in her hip to prove it – so I’m confident she’ll be roaming [...]

Whoa.  What a Saturday!  It started off in the best of ways – MomHTP had spontaneously decided to come visit!  Especially now that I have Henry, I miss my mom so much.  And it was fun for her to see the little guy – he’s learned a lot of new skills since she was here [...]

Feelin’ so much better today.  No delayed reaction to that pesky avocado.  Thank goodness for modern medicine!  I even woke up before Henry – at 5:00 AM – and thought for a few glorious hours that he had truly slept through the night (11 PM to 5:30 AM). Turns out that Kristien slept upstairs and [...]

Hmph.  And I was having such a good day! We started off with a trip to the children’s museum for playtime with six of my friends and their babies.  We had a blast.  It made me realize how badly I need to get out of the house during the week.  I thought Henry may be [...]

Rise and shine. I went on a lovely three-mile tour of my neighborhood today. The streets are littered with dropped (or rejected?!) mini candy bars.  Happy 1st Day of November! A little fact about little old me:  Since we were discussing running behind garbage trucks yesterday, wanna know my most hated smell ever?  You know [...]
