Welp. Pip is a teenager. I trimmed her hair yesterday and decided it would be funny to give her a toddler-pageant queen blow out…but immediately regretted it when I realized it made her so much older. I am amazed at what beautiful hair she has, so that was fun to see it all smooth and [...]

I feel like writing! I’m cat sitting right now. I cat-sat a little kitty named Poe recently for two weeks, and now I’m sitting for Petit Minou, who’s mama moved to Miami. Between the two of them, I’m considering getting my own little kitty. Truthfully, I’ve been considering a kitty for a long while now. [...]

I had a great idea to transform Pip’s room into a Christmas wonderland. I slept over with her and waited anxiously all night for her to wake up and enjoy all the hard work I put in….10 hours of paper snowflake making, wrapping each present carefully and thoughtfully, lugging all the presents and decorations to [...]

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I wanted to pop in and ask you to please head over to my good friend Miggy’s blog where she is spotlighting a very special boy named Raphael today. Raphael is a beautiful little boy in Eastern Europe who needs a family to love him. Even if you aren’t in a [...]

Getting chubby from seasonal goodies. A Morrissey concert with Sarah. Friends havin’ babies. Getting severely robbed for the 3rd time this year. A**holes! Speaking of, “Edison was [...]

(Me with the brides and my sister Erin and friend Jenny) I’m full of all kinds of sister wedding stories. When I’m with my family, my story jar fills to the brim. We are some of the silliest jokesters you ever knew. I met my little brother’s girlfriend for the first time and I’m certain [...]

My big sis got married over the weekend. It was a big fabulous and glamorous occasion with show girls, formal guests in 1930s attire, family dance numbers and not one-but two blushing brides. I’d say the wedding had nearly everything, but it was missing just one little tiny Piperjane. My two nieces ran around and [...]

Oh hey there! Would you look at the time? It’s already September! It’s as if 2012 was the biggest, busiest and shortest year of Reagan’s life. In the blink of an eye it’s my favorite months again. Me gusta Septiembre, remember? What’s new? I actually really do want to know. Leave me a comment with [...]
