The only time I ever felt I knew what I was doing with parenting was before I was a parent. How to get my future kids to sleep, to behave, to not wail in the grocery store, to eat all kinds of foods… I had it all laid out…
Happy Saint Valentine’s Day 2014!

BvB Battle Final: Second Child Syndrome
I am the second child. Brad is the second child. We are in fact both middle children (hence our total awesomeness – Middle Children RULE!), but with this awesome sibling order designation comes a few guarantees: Your baby book may only have a few pages filled out, compared to the…
A Tough Winter
It’s past midnight as I write this, and I’m finding myself dragging my feet. I should be crawling off to bed to get some much needed rest, but I don’t want to wake up to the inevitability of a hungry baby, or a restless toddler, or the realization that…
Facebook Fast February 2014
Alright, Friends, it has come to the point where Facebook is slowly stealing my soul. Do you know the feeling? I love how it can be used to read encouraging posts and articles, arrange meet-ups, and ask for advice on whatever topic can fill a status update. But I’m…

Crap I’ve Mad

Crocheted Toddler Toy
My friend Emily gave me this really fun super bulky yarn, so I got to playing with it to try and make something cool. At first, I had a TOTAL FAIL. I gathered all the random bulky and super bulky yarns I had, and made the ugliest bag I’ve…
Super Halloween 2013!
Remember my big, elaborate costume for Quincy last year, inspired by one of the H-G’s favorite shows, Top Gear UK? If you missed it, check out Part I, Part II, and Part III of the Top Gear Appreciation posts plus the Behind the Seams look at the Baby Stig. Now,…
