As part of our nighttime routine, The Little Empress usually enjoys a half-hour or so of playtime in her bedroom before getting ready for bed. It is a great way to help her wind down and allows us to do the essentials such as pick out her pajamas, etc. She’s been playing pretend a lot [...]
I just got this in my email and went to the California Poison Control Center website to verify for myself.
Hi everyone, I wanted to pass this along. I worked at the poison center and still have friends there. They are very concerned that the Governer has not included any funding for the poison center in [...]
Aaah, a birthday party and a holiday in the span of about a week — so many things to blog about but I haven’t found the time! Ooops!
So since pictures are worth a thousand words, here’s a few of The Little Empress’ first birthday party, accompanied by narration from TLE herself!
Hello, I am [...]
One year ago today, The Little Empress made her grand entrance into the world after 30 something hours of labor. Life changed for me that day and has never been the same since. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Happy Birthday, TLE!
Additionally, we also celebrate 12 months of breastfeeding! We had a [...]
I’ve noted before that The Little Empress lets me know when she’s not happy and I’ve come to realize that she is unhappiest when Mommy is typing away at her laptop. I have to admit that I do spend an inordinate amount of time parked in front of my laptop. For me, my laptop is [...]

Me: “Hey, looks like they dropped aggro by [...]
Being an incurable fangirl a lover of a lot Japanese trends and traditions, I’ve always wanted to celebrate New Year Japanese-style. But seeing as neither The Hubster ™ nor I are Japanese ourselves, we’ve decided to just put a Japanese spin on our New Year’s celebrations to make them our own. I’d love to make [...]
Our tree is artificial. And lopsided. I never did get to put on the start topper or buy the tree skirt.
The garland only went up one banister… and not even all the way.
Our wreath blocked the peep hole on the front door.
I never did get around to clearing the mantle and hanging stockings.
My Christmas cards [...]
Though The Hubster ™ and I have been together for over 7 years, the holidays have never been a big thing in our household. The Hubster ™ professes to hate the holidays for reasons I’ve yet to understand but he does indulge my own love for the holidays so I can’t complain. My love for [...]
Call me a tomboy but I’ve always been perfectly happy with just carrying my wallet, cell phone and keys in my pants pockets. (I still carry my keys in my pockets just in case I happen to lose my purse.) In the past few years, I’ve found the need to carry a few more things [...]
