Mastisis is a big, fat bitch.
I woke up yesterday morning at about 3:00AM feeling kinda weird. My right boob ached, but I figured it was just from going a little longer than usually without nursing on that side because Arlo slept from 8:00PM to 3:00AM. Awesome. No biggie. Got up around 7:30AM feeling weirder. I kept saying to Taylor, “You [...]
My toddler knows how to brighten my day.
In a matter of ten minutes, Sullivan has managed to: 1) Rub yogurt in his hair to create a look that is akin to Pauly D and his “blow out” except much tastier. 2) Be bathed for the second time in twelve hours. 3) Pee on the floor and mop it up with Monkey Man. [...]
Fall in love with itti bitti! (Review&Giveaway)
Fall is finally here, and with it comes thoughts of fluffy blankets, nights by the fire, and fresh baked cookies. Babies are being bundled up in their warmest clothes.

So, you want to know how I do it?
I asked if any of you had questions for me on Facebook and Twitter today. Cloth diapering, breastfeeding, military related, etc. Or, just how am I so awesome? I know y’all want to know that. But seriously, I got some great questions from some lovely ladies that I remember asking myself not so long ago. [...]
Our life in boxes.
Moving a soul-freeing experience. It’s like this ultra deep cleansing of all your belongings that really? Should have been dumped years ago. Like that denim jacket with Hard Rock Cafe embroidered on the back. And that make-up bag with a hole in the bottom that caused you to lose your favorite mascara Freshman year of [...]

Can you give me a run-down?” Cloth diapering is overwhelming. You’re hit with a million options…all-in-ones, prefolds, pockets, hybrids, doublers, snappis, wool, PUL, TPU. And [...]
Decorating porn.
Taylor and I have rented since we were married. Buying simply hasn’t made sense. We are rambling folks, and rambling folks don’t get the awesome priviledge of home ownership. Instead, we live in one rental after another, noting all the things we hate and would love to change, and not being able to change anything [...]
Dear God, I love this man.
While doing a crossword puzzle in US magazine in an attempt to escape from the Real Housewives of New Jersey marathon (bless his heart), Taylor looked over and asked my mom and me, “What’s a four-letter-word for ‘Billboard Top 20′ that begins with an ‘H’?” “Hmmm, how about ‘hits’?” I replied. “No, that won’t work.

My amazing ability to feel awkward in any situation.
I got my hair cut yesterday. It was the first time I’ve made the trip to the salon since I was about 30 weeks pregnant with Arlo. It was the first time since before Sullivan that I asked for an actual hair cut and style rather than just my typical “trim it up at little [...]
Returning to the real world.
The wedding this past weekend was a breath of fresh air. We woke up early on Saturday and got ready to hit the road. We packed, kissed our babies good-bye, and left a ton of frozen milk in the fridge for our night out on the town. We road down with two friends from college [...]
