    too early to think halloween?

    We’ve been having a rash of fall-like weather here this week, which has gotten me thinking about pumpkin lattes and… Halloween. Too soon? Last year, Holdy had some super cute costumes, if I do say so myself. A Pinspiration, I actually “made” the money bag costume myself (believe it or…

    pinterest win: big ol’ magnet board

    So it definitely feels like cheating a little to call this a “Pinterest win” when literally all I did was buy this auto oil drip pan from Walmart (for $11.97)… … and Command strip it to the wall, but whatever. I mean, I actually had to go into Walmart, which…

    on doing things one-handed

    Holden is teething this week and has been absolutely miserable. Fever, lethargy, no appetite, runny nose. She’s also been super clingy, wanting to be held all. the. time. Selfishly, it has made me happy to sit and rock her like I did when she was an infant. It feels nice…

    play date!

    //instagram.com/p/cmsE-6Jiw3 Holden had her first official play date this past weekend. By official, I mean it was her first time playing extensively with a child close to her age and development level. The girls got along pretty well during their play date. They played together and they played independently side…

    holden’s hemangioma update

    holden’s hemangioma came back @ohbotherblog *By way of an update: on February 18, 2019, at the age of 6, Holdy was officially discharged from the Penn State Hershey Dermatology Clinic, her hemangioma having shrunk down to an almost-invisible size. It’s been about a month since we stopped the medication for…

    happy birthday, sal

    Today is Sally’s 8th birthday. In honor of Sal’s special day, I wanted to recreate this amazing birthday photo we took last year: I’ll give you two guesses how it turned out… So instead of one fantastic photo, here are nine terrible ones: In show business, they say never work…

    pinterest win: chocolate chip raspberries

    Okay, this is about the level of cooking I care to tackle these days. Holden is obsessed with berries and I’m obsessed with chocolate. Today during dinner, I had a flashback to a Pin I saw a while ago for chocolate chip-stuffed raspberries and I decided to give ’em a…

    //instagram.com/p/cPx_IJJi6N I should have seen it coming when I got that 13 Month email from thebump.com, the one that said “one is the new two.” I mean, it said it right there: expect mealtime messes, new words (like “NO!”), squirmy diaper changes, and mood swings. Boy, they weren’t kidding. I’m…

    pics of the day – 7.25.13

    My mom likes to text me “pics of the day” while I’m at work and she’s watching Holden. Today and tomorrow, I’m out of town for a Google training seminar for work and Holdy is staying with my parents. I’m bumming, but I figured I’d share the adorable pics of…

    explorey stories: story time app

    While we’re talking about education, I wanted to share something that a friend sent me the other day. A friend of hers has launched a Kickstarter campaign to get his educational children’s project off the ground. It’s called Explorey Stories, and it’s an app that combines story time with experiential…
