My Lady-of-the-Night moneymaker. Shh! Don’t tell the baby.

Me and my "script"... and the greenscreen behind me that looks like Hollywood if you're watching in the UK!

If you think about it, it’s the perfect job for a mom: Leaving your baby in the middle of night. No babysitter needed (assuming you have a spouse at home). No need to provide eating/napping instructions to anyone. No need to go through the rigamarole of saying ‘bye-bye’ to baby and sneaking out the door [...]

Who knew that size mattered for these?

The bigger the better. Why waste my time with anything wimpy? After a week of self-induced online hiatus (thanks to a mix of a trip to grandma’s house, a bit o’ laziness and minimal creativity on my part), I needed something HUGE. And then, these popped into my life. MEET MY PUMPKINS. These ridiculously-large iron [...]

The definition of fab this week? Shaving my legs and working out with a Swiffer.

Out of pure boredom (and a VERY slow work schedule lately), I experimented on myself. I went all 1950′s housewife and decided to pursue satisfaction through doing simple things.

Why you really might think I’m a bad mom…

Baby’s First Smile. Baby’s First Laugh. Baby’s First…. anything. Watch my Momversation vid with Stacee of Medieval Mom below and YOU be the judge if I’m a good mommy or careless mommy. Then read my defense below!   You see, it’s not like I don’t treasure LadyP’s first milestones…. I just honestly soak them up [...]

Don’t let the fabulousness of these photos fool you…

Before explaining what went on behind these pictures, I’m gonna send a shout to Classic Kids Photography. (Yes, I’m offering a fab deal to YOU and your family… at the end of this post! Scroll down.) Now back to my tale not told through these pictures…. It all began so fabulously: LadyP was a little [...]

My drugged-out haze last year this time…

ladyP_newborn_hospital

Yes, you read that right. Last year this time I think I may have still been drugged up (picture directly left is evidence). Last year this time I kept thinking that I came this close to eating a worm in an effort to evict LadyP from my body just a few days earlier. Last year this [...]
