Happy Birthday!

To me!  Not to be a huge attention grabber or anything, but today is my birthday.  Usually I’m big on birthdays, I get all excited for mine every year.  Not because of the gifts or attention, but just to be a year older.  It doesn’t hurt that I get special treatment – such as my […]

Being the Family Photographer

As you can tell, I like to take pictures of my baby. I like to take pictures of a lot of things, but Ariadne is my muse In the past two.five months I’ve taken over 2,000 pictures of her.  You see, what? Maybe less than 1/20th of them?  For every picture you see, I’ve taken […]

Things That Annoy Me

Just a random sampling of things that have annoyed me recently. People who ask for your birthday and can’t translate the month into a number.  September.  That’s the ninth month.  If you don’t know that, I don’t think you have any business working.  I get it, it takes roughly a millisecond to translate the information.  […]

Tummy Time Princess

Something big happened in our house. BGWF has started to rock out the tummy time. We all knew she had it in her.  Even in my moments of doubt: “Is my child NORMAL?!” “She’s never going to push up with those arms” I knew she had it in her, and was just waiting to surprise […]

CDAA: Cloth Diaper Addicts Anonymous

Anyone know of a group for this? Cause I’m pretty sure I need help. I have a cloth diaper addiction. Although, really, is that a bad thing?  I’m not so sure. This is the post you’ve all been waiting for.  A cloth diaper update! Now that we’re 10 weeks into cloth diapering, I feel like we’re […]

Two Month Update

I thought I should do an update on Ariadne’s two month wellness check! The Hubs and I take bets on what her weight is going to be at every check.  Much like how during pregnancy we would bet on how much weight I’d gained.  Funny how during pregnancy it’s cool to talk about your weight […]

What’s That Smell??

**note** The pictures have nothing to do with this story, but my baby is cute, and unfortunately this story isn’t really picture book friendly. **note** I swear my baby does wear clothes.sometimes.  She just likes hanging out in her diaper. I noticed a few days ago that I woke up smelling funny. At first I […]

Grilled Vegetable Pizza

I’ve been on a really big pizza kick lately. Homemade pizza has always been high on my list of “Things I Wish I Were Good At.” It’s taken me years of practice, but I finally think I can say I’m good at it. I owe most of my success to Annie.  We’ve tried lots and […]

Two Months Old

Today, BGWF is a whopping two months old!  Would I be the worst parent ever if I admitted that I only realized this at about 3:30pm?  Like almost in time to miss telling Ariadne HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  She was extremely unimpressed by our lack of birthday gifts on such a special day.  Hopefully she forgets this […]
