Yes, I’m only having one.
Saturday, July 31st, 2010
And no, I’m not going to change my mind, so please stop telling me that I will.
I still can’t understand why people pin self-centered and over-privileged labels on only children. Do people who use those labels honestly think that kids with siblings are more inclined to put others needs before their own? What is it [...]
Visiting Placerville

Placerville photos
Fifty hours off the grid. No cell phone, no email, no internet, no television, no radio. You might wonder how we survived.
We prepared and ate lots of delicious food. Grilled chicken three ways: on a kabob, in a pita and on a salad. Grilled veggies, noodle salad, watermelon, shrimp tacos with crispy fried taco [...]
Happy Anniversary!
Sunday, April 11th, 2010
We recently celebrated one year with Jyoti and the Bravmann Family who we met while looking for a nanny share arrangement. We are so thankful to have found the Bravmann family. They’re good folk and most importantly, Isadora adores their daughter Anneke. Those two have quite a special bond. Along with the Bravmanns, came Jyoti. [...]
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

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 [...]
Isadora’s First Birthday Present

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!
Sunday, March 29th, 2009
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 [...]
