OhmygoshRosemaryIsSoGood.
You guys, I love rosemary. I’m eating some particularly amazing bread right now, con rosemary, and I love it. SO good. Incidentally, I also love sleeping in. My mother-in-law is visiting right now and I have slept until 7:20 a.m….
Feliz Cumpleaños, mi amiga!
Life is funny. I never thought I’d live in Mexico. But I’m so glad I do for so many reasons. One of them is this particular friend I have. Today is her birthday. This friend; she’s always there. I ask…
Outdoor Chalkboard. Coolness.
So Craig was all, “I’m going to put a chalkboard in the courtyard where our outdoor shower was.” I was all*, “Okay**.” Gone are the days of naked showering in the courtyard. (BAM! Too much information in the SECOND sentence….
2013 Screen Actors Guild Fashion Recap
I’ll tell you what, ya’ll. BORING. For some reason the red carpet bored me to tears. TEARS. I’m so not inspired to write this post. A lot of black. Quite a lot. Let’s dig right in, shall we? — While…

The people have spoken. You can comment now.
It appears that ya’ll don’t like the new commenting system. You’ve spoken. I listened. Thank you. See? Your vote does matter. —
Baby book? I’ll show you her baby book. You’re reading it.
I’ve fallen into the trap. My first child has a pregnancy journal, a complete baby book (with collages) and it’s incredible. My second child’s baby book leaves off at 4 months. But, look what I did do: I finished up…
Overshare Tuesday: On having more children
“Should we have one more baby?” This, my friends, is the question I’ve asked Craig over and over for the past couple of months. (Lucky him, I know.) Again and again he heard, “Maybe we should have just one more?…
Imitation. Action. Others. Etc.
Follow me here… I remember learning at a very young age, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” I wasn’t satisfied with that. I used to think, “Imitation is COPYING. Don’t copy me.” I was naive. Then I heard later…
Do-over?
My kids refuse to nap today. Vivienne has been out of bed no less than 8 times. Lila is a slight mess. I dropped my “healthy” vegetable wrap-lunch all over my plants pants and the floor. My underwear are on…
