I swear I’m not feeding him battery acid, despite the look on his face.
Ash loves butternut squash and brown rice cereal. He’s not fond of apples and refuses pears. Next up: organic carrots. They smell delicious!

Ash is mobile, doing this cross between an army crawl and actually crawling. We were at a read-along program the other day at a local library and the leader asked how old he was and I said, “six and a half months old,” to which she responded, “Oh my god!” and I stopped [...]

We’re planning a small wedding. I’ve made our guest list into a spreadsheet, and there are 34 lines, and generally about two people per line. Most of the people on our invitation we do not expect to come. A lot of the people we’re inviting simply because we feel we have to (a lot [...]

Well, after several grueling days of designing invitations, I finished them last night.
