    halloween recap

    As I’ve previously lamented, Halloween has turned into like a month-long holiday. Parties, parades, fall fests, trunk or treats. You name it; there are costumes required. Last year, I went the cheap and easy route and got multiple costumes for Holdy. This year, I just went with one amazing costume for Holden…

    happy 7 months, GB

    So I’m a little late, but on October 23, GB hit the 7 month mark. Weight: My scale is broken and says I weigh 20 pounds less than I do (I refuse to fix it, of course), so I really don’t know. I’m guessing he’s close to 17 pounds right now.…

    taking a 2-year-old to disney on ice, or how I learned to “let it go”

    Like 95% of children in America (the world?), Holden loves Frozen (or as she calls it, “Anna”). So when Disney on Ice “Frozen” tickets became available this summer for an October show, I hesitated for maybe three minutes before I decided to grab a pair. Holden has never been to…

    the lazy mom’s guide to making your own baby food

    Look, I try to be a good mom, I really do. But momming is hard, especially when you’re doing it by yourself, so sometimes you gotta get creative. And find some good mom hacks. It’s almost 10pm on a Take-Out-The-Trash Night and, rather than throw away the fresh produce that…

    happy 6 months, gb

      It’s so hard for me to believe, but this guy is six months old today. Weight: My scale is broken and says I weigh 20 pounds less than I do (I refuse to fix it, of course), so I really don’t know. At his pediatrician appointment last week they said…

    craycation 2014 recap

    Okay, so I know I’m about two weeks behind on this but here it is: Craycation 2014 Recap. As you may remember, Holdy was pretty psyched about going to the ocean. Specifically, she wanted to “get her toes wet, get her butt wet and eat crabs.” So we didn’t waste any time…

    first day of daycare

    So it was a big day for us here at the oh, bother house: Holdy’s first day of daycare. She’ll be going three days a week while my parents continue to watch Gatsby full-time. I think it’s going to be great to provide her some real structure and to be…

    happy 5 months, GB

    I’ll update you on the result of our craycation shortly, but first… Happy 5 Months, GB! Weight: According to my super scientific stand-on-the-scale-with-him-stand-on-the-scale-without-him method, about 15 lbs. Likes: being held, milk, his sister, sitting outside, watching the fan, when mommy makes crazy faces and voices, the baby gym, being “hugged” by his…

    craycation, or why am I going to the beach with a baby and a toddler?

    I’m envisioning that this will likely be the first in a series of posts on what I can only anticipate is going to be a very *interesting* trip to the beach. It’s been quite some time since I’ve taken a vacation, though I’m sure by the time this trip has…
