Word to you Mothers
Moms, when dispensing your assuredly well meaning advice (solicited or otherwise) to pregnant women, please think about what you are saying and how you are delivering it. Please be aware that what worked for you doesn’t necessarily work for every woman and certainly not for every unpredictable baby.
Before I even learned I was pregnant, I was determined that once I became a mother my...

Anticipation!
I absolutely love reading all these tumblrs written by new and expecting mothers. Seeing them with their new babies makes my heart feel like it’s expanding and about to explode right there in my chest.
In other news, I saw some commercial today about teenagers getting their driver’s licenses and I started to feel nervous about the little guy driving. Yep, that’s right, the...

While I have about a million things to buy for the baby before I start investing in wall art, I am absolutely loving the prints and mobiles from Petit Collage.
In particular, I’m loving this Animal Alphabet print and this Jungle Animals mobile.
Our little guy is due to arrive almost to the day of the fifth anniversary of our move to New York and while we left Manhattan for Brooklyn last year, this is the longest either of us has been in one place since college. When we moved to Brooklyn last summer, it was also the first time since college that we allowed ourselves to purchase a piece of furniture that arrived via a furniture delivery...

New Lost Tonight...
It promises to leave so many questions unanswered.
Seriously. Each week I tune in hoping for an episode full of revelations. Instead, I spend an hour mildly entertained and no closer to understanding what this show is about. I’ve read a few of those blogs aimed at deciphering the series and I’ve yet to find one that actually seems to get it. It’s pretty amusing actually. ...

Of course it's hard to be cynical when one now...
Seriously.
Oooh, which one of these modern torture devices should I register for? The one with the messenger bag or the purse (luckily, both give a whole new meaning to the idea of an “over the shoulder boulder holder”).
I get that these are designed to be less conspicuous for breast feeding working mothers but does anyone actually look at the purse and think “Oh CUTE! This is...

"I think he's sorry."
Really, tabloid guy? Thanks for your OPINION!
This is what I get for watching The Today Show.
This whole Jesse James/Sandra Bullock thing turns my stomach. Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar and less than two weeks later the tabloids dredge up some trash (don’t even get me started on the forehead tattoo) who admits to whoring it up with a married man.
It’s the angle that really...
