Major blogging fail on my part. First, I never meant to make this thing two parts. Second, I never intended for a couple six(!) months to pass in between. So I apologize to all my readers. If you’re just coming in now, my first birth may be of interest to you. And then there’s PartRead more
Where, in 2011, would we be without our technology? I, personally, would be lost. Disconnected. Uninformed. And perhaps bored. The iPhone. Blessed be that magical device.

It’s dark out. My morning hit of caffeine is steeping. Baby is sleeping on me, in a hot sling I got at a consignment sale (that we adore!). She woke at five and, for the first time in her nine or so weeks did not go back to sleep. So we got up. And thenRead more
