Happy Mother’s Day 2013!

One of the things that I find truely interesting about motherhood, is that everyone’s experience is unique, it is truely their own. No one else can [...]
Quote of the Day
“Our bodies are not made to look good in a string bikini!” “Our bodies are made to nurture and cuddle and all of those amazing things that come along with being a mom.” - New mom and actress Alyssa Milano. I think this rule applies to everyone except Giselle Bunchen. Also, isn’t it nice that [...]
Potty Mouth
My son said his first bad word today. Why is it so funny when little kids say swear words?! I know I should be horrified, and, technically I am, but when that word came out, it was all I could do to suppress a serious case of giggles. Luckily, I was in the other room [...]
Goop Is Beautiful
So, Goopy Paltrow is the Worlds Most Beautiful Person, at least according to People Magazine. I’ve heard rumblings that this is just a desperate ploy by People be because Gwyneth and Chris Martin are divorcing soon, and People wanted to butter up Goopy to get the exclusive. I’ve heard that this is a PR grab [...]
It’s a girl, let the shopping begin!
It’s a girl, let the shopping begin! Lol! But seriously, it’s a girl!! I’m so excited that I get to have one of each. Honestly, I would have been happy either way, because kids are just so spectacular, but I’m really glad that Miles gets to have a little sister. We had our 20 week [...]
Quote of the Day
“Well I tried to raise my kids…I didn’t raise them to be children, I raised them to be adults. That is a concept that might be lost on a lot of people. I also tried to make them understand that it’s OK to make mistakes, so don’t be afraid to have a go at doing [...]
Yo Gabba Gabba Mayhem
On Friday we took our son to a Yo Gabba Gabba Concert. It was a gathering of the Seattle parent army, from the too cool Capitol Hill hipster parents to the yuppie Queen Anners, we were all there to dance and squeal with our kids. There is no better evidence of what parenthood does to [...]
Gosh, Now I Feel Bad for Critizing Anne Hathaway
Ok, this will be my last post about the Hathaway/Lawrence saga, I swear, but, I just find it so intriguing. Ok, so the New Yorker published an article stating that people dislike Anne because she’s a happy girl. Our society teaches girls to hide their enthusiasm and open grins in turn for brooding introspection and [...]
Slope Adventures
Last weekend we finally got miles up to the mountains. This has been a weird winter. My husband had been traveling a ton and we’ve all been sick multiple times, which severely limited our free weekends. Well last weekend we were all home and healthy, so we huddled up to the mountains. The one good [...]

2013 Oscars Recap
So, the Oscars happened…What did you all think? I think everyone is consistently underwhelmed by award shows, but we all tune in. This year Seth MacFarlane was the host, which I KNEW was going to be a big mistake. MacFarlane hasn’t been funny since about the third season of Family Guy. Most of his jokes [...]
Sophia Vergara is Just Like Us
Did you guys see the “Bad Hair Day” episode of Modern Family last night? As usual, it was the right mix of a cute, endearing, cheesy comedy. But what I really loved was Sophia Vergara’s charcter, Gloria. I loved watching Gloria, the new mom, this episode. She is that person who annoyingly bounced right back [...]
Re-Use, Recycle, Play
I’m an online shopping junky. I really can’t get enough. I mean it’s just so easy to click that “buy now” button isn’t it? As a result, we always have a million boxes laying around. Which is actually perfect for rainy day activities. This month we turned our box from our Honest.com delivery into a [...]
The Magical Monorail
You know how something can seem so lame to you, but then when you look at it through your child’s eyes, it’s suddenly transformed into, like, the best thing ever? I love that! There is nothing like having a child to remove a bit of snark and bring back more wonder into our convenience driven [...]
I Never Thought I’d Feel This Tired…Again
Tired isn’t even the right word. More like, drained. Yes, that’s it – like a vampire snuck in, took a big ol’ bite and sucked 99% of life out of me. It’s just the weirdest feeling. (Excuse my vampy reference, I just finished catching up in Vampire Diaries). Now, don’t get me wrong, I feel [...]
A Very Good Day
Yesterday was a very good day. Actually, it was pretty awesome. I had my 12 week check up with my OB who confirmed that I am so far having a healthy pregnancy. Yes, I’m pregnant! Due to my prior miscarriage this was initially considered an at risk pregnancy, so the good part of that was [...]

Ms. Beyonce got real today. While promoting and discussing her upcoming HBO documentary, she discussed one of “the saddest” experiences of her life. Queen Bey revealed that she suffered a miscarriage during her first pregnancy. She heard the heartbeat and when she went in for another checkup there was no heartbeat. Crushing. I still get [...]

“I love it 100 percent of the time, I honestly do,” says Office star Jenna Fischer of her motherhood experience. She explained: “When I went into it I thought, ‘Okay, I bet it’s going to be really great 70 percent of the time, and then 30 percent of the time, you just have to get [...]
The Obamas Are Back
So the Inaguration was yesterday. President Obama gave a speech clearly detailing a liberal agenda, as CNN stalked Jay-Z and Beyonce with their cameras. Personally I’m getting a bit tired of the POTUS&FLOTUS/Jay&Bey love affair. The funny thing is that I watched the inauguration coverage on PBS, and they literally only showed Jay and Bey [...]
FLOTUS Got Bangs
If you know me or visit this blog, you know I’m a huge FLOTUS fan. But I always think its funny when things like celebrities getting bangs makes the news, even of it is the First Lady. But since I’m on the subject, what do you think of them? I’m not sure. I may not [...]
