Guest Post: Baseball & Relationships

When Alycia first contacted me about writing a post comparing baseball to relationships, I thought, 'Cool! Why not?' Then I realized that she would be writing about the Yankees. Bleech.  I'm not much of a baseball fan, but if I had to choose, I much prefer the Mets over the Yankees. But how is this a reason to refuse a guest post from such an obviously sweet and passionate fan? Besides, for all I know, my readership might be FULL of Yankee fans and I just don't know if because I never talk about them (so DO we have any Yankee fans out there?). Enjoy! I've always said baseball is like a relationship. If you follow any given season you'll notice that a season of baseball...

Guest Post: Baby Budgeting — Childcare

Our next post comes from my friend Donna, who has been a tremendous help and support throughout this pregnancy.

Luckily, Stephanie came to the rescue — last time, she enthralled us with geeky Halloween costumes and she returns today with geeky Halloween costumes for babies. The only problem that remains is which costume to choose! With a new geek coming into the world (plus at least 3 babies among my friends and family) I thought that a collection of sweet and/or awesome baby and toddler costumes would be fitting. Though you could take the Martha Stewart route and turn your baby into some sort...

Guest Post: Walking a Fine Line

I've found that most of my readers, or at least the ones who comment regularly, tend to be women. As such, I was THRILLED to receive an email from Nick who expressed interest in submitting a couple of guest posts. Even better, Nick is an extremely talented writer (just check out his bio — wow!) whose blog I find thoroughly entertaining and subscribed to almost immediately. Here, Nick writes about his new role in life as a new dad and the ever-changing relationship he experiences with his 4-month-old daughter. (And I would be lying if I were to say that it didn't bring a tear to my eyes.) Enjoy! There is a fine line to walk with this little girl of mine. Abby...
