Helping Baggino Help Haiti

The devastation in Haiti is still on my mind. After making my donation to the Red Cross and following the story of the BRESMA orphans all the way to their arrival, finally, in Pittsburgh, I’m still wondering what else I can do to help. So I immediately jumped at the chance to help Baggino get [...]

Have a Merry Dyson Christmas and a Happy Vacuuming Year!

The winner, as chosen by Random.org this morning, is commenter 945.

That means that Lindsey from LindseyIvory.Blogspot.com won with this comment:
“A little gross but true: this Dyson would be sucking up dog hair all day so that it doesn’t end up covering my new little baby!”
I sent an email to Lindsey, but still haven’t heard back [...]

Swaddled Baby Soup was a hit

My domesticity level went up a notch this week after I completed my challenge from Ashley at Delish-Blog.com. We had a great meal on Wednesday night that didn’t consist of anything that needed to be heated in the microwave (seriously can not remember the last time that happened), and now we have a bunch of [...]

Will you give up a latte for me?

More specifically, will you give up $5 to help me support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS)? I am 11 days away from the big race, my second marathon. I’ve been training for six months with Team In Training and it’s truly been an inspiring and life changing experience. I’ve met wonderful people along the [...]

Things that made me smile today

1. Watching the dogs play at the dog park as I ran past
2. Finishing my 20.5 mile run without dying
3. Coming home to find I had pulled ahead in TheBump.com’s Best Baby Journal Blog contest!
I just checked the poll again, though, and I’m back down by 2%. So here I am, asking you all to [...]

“Mommy Visions” – this is not a funny post

Ugh. Just heard a report on the news that a 2 month old was found dead in Ft. Worth, stuck in a crack between the bed and the wall. WHY do I now, since having a baby, have the freakish, super human ability to vividly envision this and any other scenario that involves babies/children, death, [...]

Ceiling fan’s got nothing on testy toddlers

I started taking Kendall to Gymboree classes when he was 3 months old. I willingly jumped into the…uhhh… stimulating, looks like Crayola puked all over it, world of clowns and bubbles, and songs about clowns and bubbles, when I realized that I pretty much sucked at entertaining my immobile infant. He just laid there and [...]

Just a few FYIs

You may notice some changes to the old bloggy layout as I work out some kinks and try to make this place a little more viewer friendly.  I went ahead and got rid of the whole “Featured” articles area as that just seemed to confuse people, especially new readers.
Also, a lot of you in the [...]

I’m all a Twitter

So sometimes I have something really funny/cool/important to tell you all, but I don’t have time to sit down and write an all out blog about it.  As you may have noticed, my entries end up being rather long because I have diarrhea of the fingers on here.  I was looking into starting a small [...]

RESPECT THE TURKEY!

So I had to go to a certain giant retailer that I particularly despise the day after Halloween.  Immediately upon entering I was immersed in Santa’s sweatshop.  Christmas music on NOVEMBER 1ST?!  WTF?!  Why is it that every year Christmas gets shoved down our throats earlier and earlier?  Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, [...]
