Ah Christmas

What a great Christmas we had this year for Zara’s first! We opted to stay in PA rather than making the trek to LA to be with the rest of the family. The house was decorated (inside and out), the tree trimmed, and the presents bought. Even Personalized Creations came through for us, after my [...]


Thoroughly Modern…

Millie, that is! We’ve just had the pleasure of having the irrepressible Millie as our houseguest for the past week. My dear virtual and IRL friend ventured East for a donor embryo cycle at an IVF center nearby. On Tuesday (my mother’s anniversary) she had 3 great-looking embryos transferred without muss or fuss. Now she’s [...]

Rights & Wrongs of Crib Bedding

Got a question for the wise internets… What’s the deal on crib bedding? Months before Zizi arrived, I purchased a beautiful crib bedding set. . I proceeded to make up the crib and there it sat looking so pretty, that is until the day that we put Zara in it to sleep. At that point, [...]

This little cutie pie is now completely, officially ours: It seems hard to believe that the only hoops we will have to jump through in the future are the ones she will no doubt put us through over the [...]

Zizi and Santa

Last year at this time, I never would have believed that a mere one year later, I would be standing with my (employed) husband and our daughter waiting for her to sit on Santa’s lap. But here’s the evidence: Keep the faith, my friends. Good things can and do happen if you open yourself up [...]


What’s A Feminist To Do At Christmas?

Dear readers, Here I am doing my best to get my holiday vibe on, when The Man has to go messing with my head. (What man? I don’t know. Some man. Or maybe some woman. OK, I’ll just say Somebody. Now back to the problem). So what am I ranting about this time? Well I’m [...]


Blacklisted?!

Just want to let my people know that the ability to post comments is now fixed. I discovered that one of my plugins, Bad Behavior, had started malfunctioning allowing not even me to comment on my on blog. The error message was ominous, saying that your IP address had been blacklisted. But never fear, with [...]
