Hi. Hello. It's me, the marketer who doesn't write in her own blog. It's something I think about just about every day, of course. I start the day with good intentions, and other things get in the way. Mostly myself. The last six and a half months have rocked me to my...
domesticity
And just like that, we bought a house.
We have the keys. To a home that, at times, I thought would never be ours. I'm pretty sure I've had more gray hair appear in the last two months than I've ever had (and this could be in part due to the fact that I'm about to be 33, and 33-year-olds have problems like...
The hierarchy of things in our house
Or: How on earth do Mommybloggers get anything done? As I type this, it's 8:20am. Which means that at any second, Grayson could wake up for the morning, and I have to start his day. This isn't a bad thing, as I'm thoroughly enjoying being a mother. However, since his...
Adjustments all around
Having a baby is life-altering change = Giant Understatement. I think I've been struggling a little with the baby blues, or a mild, mild case of postpartum depression. It's difficult for me to even admit, because I feel like new moms are made to feel guilty about...
Boy, am I overdue for an update
I kinda suck at this whole "cataloging the pregnancy" thing. In my defense, I've had quite a bit going on, and lately, feel busier than I ever have, which is a good thing. On April 5th, we found out baby Mango is a boy!See proof:I barely slept the night before,...
Back away from the dustbuster
There's only so much housecleaning a girl can do before there isn't any more. My house is so. freaking. clean.There is no unfolded laundry. No unswept floors. Only the piles of filthy laundry and muddy pawprinted tiles that make up my thought processes as of late. I...
Wag More, Bark Less
On my way to work thing morning, I was sitting at a light behind an SUV that had a Wag More, Bark Less sticker. I really liked it. The message is so simple, but yet I always seem to forget that little gem. It made me think of Leela, of course, who's been with us a...
Because nihilism is boring
Oscar's friend Zach is painting us a lovely print to go in our entryway. It's gonna be a hefty 24'x 48' and I can't wait to see the finished piece. This was a shot he sent us yesterday to monitor the progress - Check out his other work here.
I have a little problem.
I'm going a little apey. Only 40 days until Christmas, people. I don't think I'll turn into one of those crazed shoppers because I already have half my gift list figured out. The gifts aren't stressing me out at all, actually. What I'm most looking forward to is......
I just couldn’t help myself
I'm not a cat person. Don't get me wrong, I like them OK, but usually they make me sneeze and I'm not particularly fond of how feisty they can be. I'm much more used to the "you - sit!" mentality with dogs. Point being, I don't really think of the cats of our house as...
