I’m kidding. The dog didn’t die. It just feels like the kind of day I had yesterday, you know?
That was cruel, I’m sorry. I won’t do that to you again.
I want so badly to complain about the less than ordinary day that OBaby and I had yesterday, but what good is a whiny 1500 word [...]

a life more intentional
I came across the blog of an old high school friend last week, the premise of which is the fact that she lives “a life less ordinary”. Immediately, my blood pressure rose.

crawling was so last week
{as were pants.}
PS: The picture is from this weekend. We’re a little more subdued than this these days.

He spent a good portion of his day in the Moby Wrap just being [...]

It is the topic of conversation around here, and there’s something of a debate in DanO and my heads and hearts right now. Every date night we have had has contained at least 20 minutes off throwing around hypotheticals. We want more, O BOY do [...]

for you, for humpday
This video is, sadly, 2 months old now, but I don’t care and I’m sharing it anyway. Like Snickers, it is guaranteed to satisfy. (Name that 90’s song reference!)
When I look into my future, I see copious amounts of man grunting, à la Tim Allen in Home Improvement.
