tidbits

July 31, 2007

"Our weekend away went very well. Maggie was her typical angelic self (I know we are going to get paid back for her goodness someday. She might be an easy baby, but when she’s 13 she’ll probably be a nightmare!) and she slept great both nights and didn’t seem to mind that she wasn’t in [...]"

over the river and through the woods

"No, we’re not going to Grandma’s house… but we are going to visit some friends this weekend, some friends in Ohio. That means: Overnight Stay. The first one with Maggie. Which should be an adventure! Truthfully, I’m not all that worried about how she’ll react. She’s so laid back, and she’s a great sleeper (8 or [...]"

I have the best clients ever.

July 25, 2007

"Today when I got home from my meeting with a new client, there was a package by the front door. I knew I hadn’t ordered anything lately… who could it be from? The return address was one of my clients who I did a site for last summer. Incidentally, the day of my first meeting with [...]"

"My car, sadly, does not have the fancy keychain button that unlocks my doors. I regret not upgrading to the middle model (I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX, not the EX) Mine does have power locks, but no button. It also lacks a CD player, a sunroof, and various other fancy features that would [...]"

dodged a bullet

"Question: Who gets a cold in July? Answer: I do. The good news is I drank Airborne like a madwoman for 2 days, and whether it was a placebo effect or not, the cold never dug in its heels and by yesterday I was feeling much better. Still a little bit stuffy and cough-y, but the tired [...]"

in which I try to find balance.

July 13, 2007

"This getting back to work thing is kicking my ass. Seriously, it is way harder than I imagined it in my head, as a non-Mom, way back when. I guess that’s just the way it is, when you’ve never had to take care of a baby around-the-clock before: I had no idea what I was talking [...]"

July 10, 2007

"We got Maggie’s online proofs today! More posts like this: the incredible shrinking woman November 10, 2007 doooood! March 23, 2006 a list, because it’s late and I’m tired December 10, 2007 just re-read it, and this post is positively thrilling. prepare yourself.

finding her voice

"It’s safe to say that Maggie has found her voice. Suddenly, she NEVER. SHUTS. UP. She can spend over an hour on her playmat, all alone, squealing and cooing and kicking her feet and gurgling at the little dangly toys that are on it. Yesterday morning, she woke up for an hour and just talked [...]"

recipe: fruit pizza

July 08, 2007

"I’ve had a request (from Melissa!) to share the recipe for the fruit pizza I made on the 4th of July. So here you go! The crust: 1 - 20 oz package of sugar cookie dough (I use the pre-packaged, cheating stuff that comes in blocks you break apart) 8 oz Cool Whip 4 to 8 oz cream cheese [...]"

dare to be different

July 03, 2007

"All of the parenting and baby articles and books I’ve read have a pretty standard order for physical milestones: lifts head, rolls over tummy to back, giggles, rolls over back to tummy, sits up. Of course, OUR daughter looks to be a little different. Naturally. She HATES tummy time, and while she doesn’t immediately scream her [...]"

cannot believe I am posting this

July 01, 2007

"If you had told me that one day I’d be sharing a video of my daughter ‘doing her business’ with the Internet, I would have said you were crazy. But this is just too good not to share: Dan came up with the title. And did the filming. He’s so mean to her. (Of course, I [...]"
