Surprise!

Imagine my horror when I opened this week’s shopping list for the cleanse and saw….
An Enema.
Two of them.
I should have known.  I guess that’s why they call it a cleanse.

The Grossest Night I’ve Ever Had

Those of you who have been with me from the beginning may remember The Kelp Powder Incident. Well, hold on to your hats, people, because what went down in this house this evening was far, *far* worse.
It’s the first Saturday night of SXSW and Matt’s out at his semi-annual MeFi meetup.  I’m like, yeah, no [...]

Happy 3rd Birthday, Riley

Well, Riley the Dog, I’ve been too busy sleeping to remember to bake you (me) a birthday cake this year.  Thankfully your daddy reminded me that today is your big day or I would’ve completely forgotten.  May you get back on your pre-baby walking schedule this year.  I promise I’ll buy you some special doggie [...]

Question of the Day

Woke up to a huge pile of dog poo smack in the middle of the bed. Was this because we haven’t had time to walk Riley in 2 weeks, or was it the thunderstorm?

Our Adventures with Kelp Powder

Since Henry started solid foods, I’ve more or less tried to follow the Super Baby Food diet. Around month 8, you introduce kelp powder, which is good for several things, mainly glandular health. The natural iodine acts as a radiation antagonist, which is comforting when your pediatrician makes lead tests a standard part of [...]
