I’ll never make it as a Top Chef contestant
Friday, November 27th, 2009
Yesterday was a big cooking day. Thanksgiving will do that to a person. I wasn’t even making a big meal, just breakfast for us and a side dish and dessert to take to a potluck later in the afternoon.
The day started off great! I made a double batch of Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal–one without nuts for [...]
Puppies on Parade
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
A few years ago, I ran across this great pattern for a Scotty Dog. I used it to make a little pup for Ethan. It’s a simple pattern and quite easy to make.
I had a really crummy week at work, so I knew the only way I was going to get over it was to [...]

Shout out to my friend Steve J for the new moniker for San Diego! It cracked me up when I first read it.
We went on our first family vacation together last week to San Diego. We flew down on Monday afternoon on Virgin America–best airline ever. I hope they expand their route service because I [...]

The first present Izzy opened was from Grandma Suzanne.
Happy First Birthday Isadora!
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
We took Isadora to the Oakland Zoo on her first birthday.
We also brought her favorite playtime friends, Anneke and Jyoti.
This giraffe family was my favorite.
It was close to feeding time and the chimps were going crazy. They started swinging around the trees and shrieking. The cacophony was starting to bother the girls, so we left. [...]
Let’s play outside today!

We have a teething baby who got a really nasty diaper rash yesterday. I think the chlorine in the pool might be a tad uncomfortable on her chaffed heiny so we’re going to skip swimming today. We are experiencing lovely spring weather this weekend so we decided to take a stroll up the hill to [...]

I’ve been too busy to write anything. Here are some videos to keep you entertained.
A fun day at the aquarium
Sunday, March 8th, 2009
We went to the Academy of Sciences today with Sarah and Ethan. They have a family membership so we got to go during member only hours (less crowded) and it was free! I went many times as a child and it was so much fun to remember various field trips and visits with my parents.

Where does the time go?

Click image to enlarge. I’m pretty sure you can easily substitute “stay at home mom” with “stay at home dad.”
Upholding Tradition
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008
When I was a little girl, my parents often played poker with my aunt and uncle, cousins, and friends until the wee hours of the night. Okay, it was probably only until 11:00 p.m., but back then that seemed very, very late to me. I remember going to other peoples houses and getting put to [...]
