OK… I’m finally going to write about the trip to the E.R. that I eluded to on Tuesday. After having such a bad experience the night before I was determined to pull myself together and let us all have a good evening together. Marc picked H up a little early from Finn’s house so that [...]

Marc’s parents just got back from Hawaii and sent us a care package. Books about the ocean and an adorable “fancy” outfit for H and for us: That’s like 100 pounds of macadamia nut Hershey’s Kisses half of which have been consumed in the past 15 hours. Now, we know where Marc got his evil, [...]

Things were just not going my way last night. And I would spare the internet another rant about how waaa waaa bad my day was, except it was pretty incredibly bad in a I’m-feeling-really-sorry-for-myself kind of way and need to share it with the world. Let me start by saying we had a fantastic weekend. [...]

He just got back from running some errands mainly to pick up ingredients for salted white chocolate oatmeal cookies because the nanny begged asked very nicely for them. But, not only did he bring home all of the fattening ingredients for cookies, but, in case we couldn’t wait until the cookies were made he brought [...]

Forgot about tofu – thanks Aunty Margaret! We did try some tofu. Firm, plain which did not go over well. So we pureed some of it with avocado and cooked chicken which was actually pretty good. Then bought some soft and he did OK, but, I think it was the texture paired with the tatelessness [...]
