Girl’s Life

Merry Christmas, from our little elf family! OK, sorry but I couldn’t resist the Christmas cheese-fest. This was too funny to pass up. Click here to watch it for yourself.
Also, my sweet, innocent Sophia somehow ended up as the sexy elf. Don’t know quite how I feel about that. Regardless, I hope you all are […]

Tonight Sophia did the unimaginable–she cried when it was time to leave daycare. Not that her crying at daycare would be any new thing. For the first two months she cried with dread and sorrow every time I dropped her off (heartbreaking, I know) and would cry with joy and relief every time I […]

I’ve held off much longer than I had planned to share the wonderful news with the internets. Yes, it is true–the past few months of silence and the smell of stale blog was not because I was ignoring you. No, never! I have just been sick as a dog in my first trimester of pregnancy.

You would not believe how excited we got. I even let her have a Hello Kitty band-aid in celebration. And if you know Sophia’s love/hate relationship with […]

Hey, 2 years. You’re pretty cool, you know that? You’re fun and loud and messy and full of words and sentences and paragraphs that sometimes make sense, but usually just make me laugh.
You’re “Look, mommy–Choo train!” and “Uh oh! Sket-ee-oes.” and “I yove you.”
You are ornery about wearing your bib because you’re a big […]

Sometimes you just gotta have cake . . . or, as was the case yesterday, big fat chocolate cupcakes!

We had an adorable celebration with Sophia and her little friends at her daycare yesterday in honor of her second birthday. It was fun to see her in her element, showing off all her newly-learned songs […]
