I haven’t been inspired to sew all week. Instead I’ve been filling my down time with Big Brother UK, which is so much better than Big Brother US, I cannot even begin to tell you. This one makes the US version feel so contrived and lame. For my British readers: thank fuck Shree is gone, [...]

I posted this exactly one month ago, but it was at the end of my very long newsletter, and not many people commented on it, so I imagine that it may have gotten overlooked. Ash turns seven months old today, so the next installment of his newsletter will come tonight, but I wanted to share [...]

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!

Did you know that Clive’s knee STILL acts up after this fall? My sister (and the ice banks at Niagara Falls) are to blame. But mostly my sister.

Yesterday I took a video of Ash and I doing, well, Ash and I stuff. Pottying, playing with the most annoying toy in the world (which happens to be his favorite… I have my mom to thank for that one), going for a walk in the sling, playing in the exersaucer while I eat breakfast, [...]

Another post today to add this video, even though dooce.com linked it earlier, this is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been letting Ash drink a small amount of water almost every day. He initiated it, reaching out and grabbing for my glass, and he LOVES it. I think it’s partially because it’s cool on his gums, and partially because now is about the time when babies start noticing [...]

Do not press play unless you want to hear my not-good singing voice. As mentioned before, Ash’s new favorite song is Down by the Bay. This is what I hear as I fall asleep EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. JESUS. H. CHRIST.
