It was good.

I love holidays. Even though Jake had to work all day today, and some more this weekend, it’s been good. We baked all night Wednesday, and cooked all day Thursday (like every one else). It was my first time making Cranberry sauce, apple pie, chocolate pie, pie crust made with vodka (the recipes swear by [...]

Pip hugs her mama

I know I’m doing things opposite, by beginning this post with the grand finale picture, but I just can’t help myself. On Friday, I taught Piper Jane how to hug, and we were able to work on it a little bit over the weekend. I was worried I’d have to go over it a lot [...]

Questions. About Me and Jake.

Here are a bunch of questions that were asked about me and Jake. Again, there are some that I won’t be addressing, but hopefully you’ll find these interesting or something. This post ended up being very long. Where are you from? Jake? What are your backgrounds? I say I’m from East Tennessee (near Knoxville), because [...]

Proof of niceness

The temperature dropped almost 20 degrees. It’s only 90s now instead of 105, 106, 107…we’ve been getting glorious rain again, soft breezes and cooler mornings. I ran 7 miles this morning and it was only 75 degrees! I was like “look at you 75 degrees! I want to smother you and romp around with you [...]

Me lucky pot of gold

I scored big time this week. I was invited to a private sample sale by one of my clients who works for bottega veneta. My friend and I were the only commoners among the highest of fashion editors at the biggest fashion magazines.  I felt intimidated for a sec, but then I remembered the clothes [...]

A new look with a bang.

I have been so sick of my hair lately. I’ve been threatening it (my hair) that if it doesn’t start being pretty I would cut it short. We (my hair and I) compromised with bangs and I love them! It’s been over a year since I’ve had the fringe and I finally like my hair [...]

Sit-up City

Here is some more proof of Piper sitting up by herself. This is more like her propping herself up, but it’s still braggable. Piper has Mad Scientist hair. This is typical Wild Piper while I hold her. Mom (me) is the one Piper wants to wiggle and play with, and Dad is the one Piper [...]

Yeah. About that…

So, I’m sure you are all dying to find out how my toe nails are since the marathon toe nail drama last month. You’re not? And you think it’s gross? Well, I’m sure SOME of you think it’s cool. No? Ok, but just in case…. The good news: only one is going to fall off! [...]
