MARC: “Do you even remember how to put this thing on? OK, zip it up dude.” As they bike away to school on the first cool morning in what feels like forever. HARRISON (yelling back to Marc while they ride): “This feels good on my back!” “I’m wearing a sweatshirt! This feels niiiiice!” HARRISON to [...]
Last night at dinner H was eating like a champ so Marc decided to kick things up a notch and give him hot-sauce-dipped pineapple and chicken-egg-taco dipped in green salsa. Harrison was doing great with it all, just a little red lip from the heat, but, nothing this son-of-Marc can’t handle. Until it went too [...]
Overjoyed with the presentation of pizza at dinner time, H attempts to say “thank you”. The phrase “thank you” has been a hurdle to overcome. And he actually JUST started saying it correctly this week. And while I was only very mildly concerned about the fact that he could never say “thank you” (it was [...]
We have all been enjoying, to say the least, the culinary mecca that is San Francisco. And Kylie & Jeff – I promise we will vacuum the carpet before you get back! Listening: Lightning Dust
I need to write more about all the fun stuff we did over the weekend with the Chow’s, but, until then, I’ll go back a month to a momentous occasion. H’s first sandwich! I can’t explain the excitement I felt about this… and why it took me so long to try it out with him. [...]

I started a list of things we need to pack for our upcoming trip to California. Which is in 2 weeks! F@#$! How did it become June already!? The list included our “kitchen knives”, “at least one of our cutting boards” and “veggie wash“. OK, we’ll start with the easy one – Veggie Wash – [...]
I will post some cute stuff and write about my trip to the E.R. later. “Practice Laying Down” “Evidence that the kid will eat ANYTHING!” Listening: Happy Little Vegemites (this one’s for you mum!)
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 [...]
