    beginning to learn (holy crap!)

    //instagram.com/p/bv1FX3Ji5l Holden has gotten really into reading lately. And by “reading,” I mean bringing me a book, sitting on my lap and humoring me for two pages as I read and ask her to point things out to me. “Holden, where’s the dog?” “Holden, where’s red?” 60% of the time…

    breastfeeding: that’s a wrap

    So, it wasn’t even a month ago I posted that, yes, I was still breastfeeding Holden and would continue to do so for as long as she wanted. Well, I’m sad to report that Holden has officially kicked the nip. In all honesty, I started seeing signs not even a week…

    holdy’s favorite apps

    Holden has been obsessed with my iPhone pretty much since birth. For Christmas (when she was about six months old), I got her this Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Apptivity Case for my old iPod touch. She was a big fan. The only thing I found was that I prefer to…

    playground day videos

    //instagram.com/p/bty2mPJi8v To celebrate Instagram now making photos and videos available for embedding on your website, here are some fun videos from our visit to the park today. People kept telling me I would rue the day that Holdy learned to walk, but I’m loving her new mobility. //instagram.com/p/btxJdSpi6V

    baby shower at a cupcakery

    So I love throwing showers, bridal or baby. I’ve been a part of some really big, over-the-top productions that were fun and fantastic, but I’m a big fan of just the casual gatherings and celebrations as well. We recently held a sweet, simple baby shower for my coworker who’s pregnant…

    using facebook promoted posts to boost your blog traffic

    So, despite the fact that I “do” social media for my j-o-b, I’ve been pretty lazy about promoting my blog on social media. I mean, I didn’t even really share posts on my own personal Facebook until a little over a month ago. I think part of the reason for…

    why? because we like you: mickey party.

    I was in the presence of true birthday party-planning greatness this weekend. One of my best friends (since we were like 10), DL, has always been so crafty. She gets it from her mom, who is the craftiest of the crafty. From puffy paint sweatshirt parties in elementary school (it…

    my house lacks style, pt. 3: the living room

    So if you’ll recall, I’ve been pretty lazy about sassing up our new house (and by “new,” I mean we’ve been living here for six months). Up until recently, this is what our living room looked like: Boring, right? No character… also almost no real evidence of a child (pay no…

    fireworks-free fourth

    So it’s the day after the Fourth and I’m still thinking about the decision I made yesterday not to keep Holden up to watch the fireworks for the Fourth of July. Here’s the thing: Holden’s bed time is 7:30pm and we try to keep pretty strict to her schedule. I…

    holden’s hemangioma

    What a deep hemangioma looks like on a 3-month-old @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. This is a long story, but…
