3. Make sure that the umbrella chairs in your trunk are accessible.
4. Camera? Definitely ok. Cell phone? Totally okay too.

Wordless Wednesday: Summertime and the Living is Easy
Posted on July 23, 2009 - Filed Under Just Photos, Mama's baby | 2 Comments
We are having a summer without air conditioning here. It’s not because of the mild weather though — it’s because I am trying to cut down on the electricity we use (summer is our peak usage time) and thus save money. It has the fringe benefits of also being a little kinder to the environment [...]

When I flipped this sandwich out of the frying pan and onto Will’s plate, I instantly smiled. Do you see it? The simple, unmistakable shape was clear as day. Instead of shooting a photo of the most perfect sandwich in the batch, I went with the one with the perfect little unexpected heart.
Here, you can [...]

Ever since my birthday about two weeks ago, I have been mildly obsessed. Okay. Completely obsessed. With what? Buttercream frosting. The name itself just rolls from the tongue in sweet harmony.
It all started with the beautiful marble cake that Shawn bought for me. It had this delicious creamy frosting and was decorated with a firm, [...]

I should have known that Paige would be gung-ho about eating regular foods . . . after all, I am her mother.
Paige has quickly gone from an immobile infant to a crawling baby. She’s sped from an 100 percent breastfed girl to a breastmilk, baby food and finger foods child. And she’s not showing any [...]

The Scene: Eating dinner with the family. Paige in her Exersaucer next to the table.
Paige: {{Shriek, shriek!}}
Will: (Leaning over the side of his highchair to see her.) It’s okay, Paige. I love you.

“Mommy, I want this,” Will said to me the other evening, holding up a bottle of pancake syrup – the kind I wish I could banish from our house since it is anything but natural. However, Will and my husband love it so it remains.

The heat wave in New England has subsided. After day after day of intolerable heat, it was cool yesterday (while it rained) and warm today. Thank goodness. The stifling heat is just too much for this pregnant woman to take.
Fortunately, today also happened to be the day that Virtual Frolic and I had planned to [...]
Out of the Darkness

The past week has been a blur of refrigerator repairmen, work, a quick turnaround freelance project and finding every spare minute to spend with Will. Though I always spend as much time with Will (not being in the same room, but really doing things with him), this week I happened upon one too many newspaper [...]
