I am a wife, mother, and attorney, but not always in that order. I am also phenomenally indecisive, except when it comes to my husband, the Mister, and our boys--they are an easy commitment to make, and I write about them often. I devote the rest of

Doing What Mommy Bloggers Do
Hello. Allow me to frantically put up some random pictures of children doing cute! things! so we can end my cyber humiliation in the preceding post. Yes? Look! It’s like King Arthur and the legend of the Sword in the Stone except the swor...
etnies
I have a rule about the appearance of my car. I don’t fuss about it too much since I have to park it outside and have small children, but I always like to get it washed when I am going someplace where I will meet people, even if it’s j...
What We Did Today
Mikey didn’t have school today, so I was determined to make it fun for him. Unfortunately, all the museums were closed. We improvised. We baked the Versunkener Apfelkuchen (German Apple Cake) from The Joy of Vegan Baking. {The way Nico c...
The Weekend in Review
On Friday I spent most of the day in a panic thinking Mikey’s blister was a cold sore. I was confident he had a case of herpes like some scraggly Parisian street urchin from the 18th century. Luckily, I was wrong–just a water blister...
Skipping Fall
There is massive fall hysteria going on right now. People are writing about it online, walking around in long sleeved shirts in 100+ degree weather, and staring up at tree leaves, willing them to change colors and drop. Our house, on the other ...
The End of the Season
Well, I’m done. All that hand wringing and stress is over with. In celebration, today I am light headed and have a migraine. Oh, and I’m recuperating from Shingles, which I had the honor of contracting 2 weeks ago. What can I say?...
Souvenir Foto
My friend and business partner, Miss Tristan B, is at it again. She recently started a new flickr group called Souvenir Foto in hopes of breaking Photo Block {when you have a camera but never use it} and curbing her tendency for procrastination. Sh...
Page Museum: La Brea Tar Pits
The Mister started a new job last Monday. The pay is awful, but it is a job! We are still unsure of the commission, which is funny to us that such an enormous detail remains unclear. But, that is the difference between working for the largest pha...
Blog Crush | Inchmark
Image © 2009 by Brooke Hellewell Reynolds of Inchmark. Originally posted HERE. I have been reading Inchmark for a very long time but never linked to it anywhere. Clearly a mistake on my part (you know how careless I am with the whole linking pro...
The Bright Side Project, Even Brighter
You have to love a friend with connections; Tristan always has the latest and greatest stuff. Except, since I’m her friend, I rarely get the stuff! Instead, she gives it away on her blog, and unless it’s something I really, really wan...
Thrifty Thursday
The Mister and I decided to leave our cave and take advantage of his extended vacation by making a quick trip to the thrift store. To be honest, this was my first trip that did not involve the procurement of horribly out of fashion clothing for a t...
Go, Go, Go!
I decided to honor my love for Backyardigan’s music by buying “their” Born to Play CD. I didn’t even lie to myself and say it was strictly for the boys. I did tell them I was buying them something they would love, hoping years...
Out of Town Guests
One of the things I love about Argentina is the way they package store purchases. No matter what you buy, each item is individually wrapped. Many stores have their own special paper, and most come with a sweet little store label. Nothing fancy, bu...
The “Christmas Light Smack Down,” and other weekend events.
When we first moved into our new house, we were still alternating Christmases with our families. One year we would spend it with the Mister’s family, and the next year we would spend it in Lake Tahoe with my family. Our first year in our Litt...
36+1=Giveaway {And a rather boring housekeeping post}
Surprise, here I am! I have a new blog. A new address, actually, so please do update your feeds if you read this little blog on a feed reader. Today is my 36th birthday and my blog’s 1st birthday, so I decided to treat myself with a new look....
Soccer Party
The season is officially over. We had Mikey's soccer party tonight at Straw Hat Pizza, where pretty much every child has celebrated the end of season at least once in their life. The allure, of course, is the oodles of video and arcade games. Th...
Do it for the kids, man.
Happy Hallow...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Oh, my. Is it really only 8:00 pm? I thought for sure it was midnight. I tried so hard to get a decent picture of the boys in their costumes. Unfortunately, I think the fabric was laced with cocaine because the second they put them on they were s...
7 Random Ways Motherhood Made me a Liar
Hannah over at Strapless Living tagged me to reveal 7 random things about myself. Well, I this is particularly unfair because my entire blog is random! Just read the last 7 posts. There's your random! So I decided to mix it up just a bit and disc...
Another Great Giveaway!
{Updated at the bottom of the post}I would love to show you what we did yesterday, but I am waiting on the Mister to forward to me all the pictures he took with his phone/camera. We went to the San Diego Museum of Natural History to see the fossil e...
Feeling Good
We are jumping for joy around here.Mikey is doing so much better. I can't believe the difference. I think it was a virus similar to what Kendra had last week (she posted in the comments). Funny enough, I had something similar when I was pregnant w...
