Magnet Clocks for Your Fridge

Earlier today, I saw this personalized fridge magnet clock by Designplus and let out a delightul little yelp. What a cute and fun way to organize your tasks and chores! I wanted to get one right away for our cluttered-with-too-many-papers-and-pictures fridge. Then I noticed something. What was this? Is that…a man jumping over a crouched […]

‘Sex and the City 2’ Eighties Flashback

These pictures have been plastered all over the web these past few days. Will Sex and the City 2 feature a flashback to the garish eighties? Charlotte and Miranda’s outfits aren’t too surprising – Charlotte has the adorably preppy Lilly Pulitzer look down pat, and Miranda has drawn the short end of the fashion stick […]

Tater Tot Baby Blog

I was planning to continue writing about Tater Tot here, or even perhaps create a subdomain for it. However, J was insistent on creating a separate blog devoted entirely to our little one.

While I admit that I’ve had a major case of Pregnancy Brain this past week, that is no valid excuse. I have no one to blame but myself. The winner of the tagline […]

Pregnancy Update, Week 7

Sometimes I want to fast-forward and get to the exciting stuff, like finding out the sex of the baby, feeling it kick…even distinguishing its body parts on the ultrasound!

Neil Gaiman’s Personal Library

So today, when Boing Boing featured a picture of his personal library, I couldn’t help but sit up straight and pay extra attention. photo by Shelfari I stared. I drooled.

RIP, Scooter the Tiny Dog

Remember when Rupert, the “living, breathing chocolate chip cookie with a halo” died last October? Today the world became about 10x less adorable with the death of Scooter, the world’s smallest dog. Scooter the Maltese was a mere 8 cm tall. That’s 3 inches, people. Please excuse me while I go cry in the corner. […]
