True confessions time, shall we? We eat out a lot. I don’t mean like sit-down restaurants with huge portions, I just mean we seem to do it on-the-go or at coffee dates or lunch dates or sometimes it’s take-out or coffee drive-through or take’n’bake pizza or coffee from the cafe in Target or food courts [...]

21 a lot of ‘not’s, only some ‘me’s
Jan 31, 2010 in Budgeting, Not Me Monday
Ok, ok I know that last time I did a Not Me! Monday post a few weeks ago it was about the ridiculous lump of cash we forked over for a new rug (Have you rug shopped lately?! I need to start making area rugs and get in on that racket!) but this time I’m [...]
26 DIY baby legs
It’s crawling boot camp around here. We haven’t quite figured out the forward motion thing, but boy are we trying hard. Watching my little one army crawl his way around our living room has made me want to keep those edible little knees protected but still dress him in less restrictive clothes. Baby leg warmers [...]

Everyday. For the long foreseeable future. Laundry, dishes, cook, feed, change. Shoot, even [...]

3 craig’s listing my baby
sub title: Pottery Barn taste on a garage sale budget, or, why I hate Babies ‘R Us. Sometimes I think this baby’s first words will be “Wow, mom, you got a great deal on this stroller!” because, well, I did get a great deal on that stroller. Lots of people have had babies. Like, lots. [...]
5 belly and hair
Not to be confused with belly hair. Gross. A couple weekends ago, Cindy and I experienced the Juut Aveda Salon in Minneapolis. No Tyra sightings, but it was awfully nice to wait in a lobby not filled with crying children and drink cucumber infused water out of shfancy mod glassware . I went chin-length again, [...]
