Reason #58943 that women are magical, confusing, frustrating beings. Also I really, really wanted to title this “Tough Tits” – sorry, Mom. Breastfeeding is super hard, y’all. Even when it’s easy and everything goes to plan. This is one of those things that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough in the pregnancy-related-sphere, in my opinion. OtherContinue reading “My Boobs are Tired”

Stepford by The Sea
Don’t be fooled into thinking I think this is a bad thing. Have you ever thought to yourself “I wish that I could visit Stepford,” or “I wonder what being in the Truman Show would be like”? No? Just me? Ah, well. If you’re like me and you have mused these musings, good news! ThereContinue reading “Stepford by The Sea”
Cocoa Break
A public service announcement. Have you had a cup of cocoa recently? No? Go drink one. I highly recommend Swiss Miss with some whipped cream (real whipping cream with a splash of vanilla mixed in, if you can, to balance out the powdered cocoa). That’s it, that’s the blog. Drink a cup of cocoa, curlContinue reading “Cocoa Break”
Soap is Super Soothing
Ruining my recommended algorithm across all platforms, yet again. There are few things on the internet that bring me as much joy as the Lonely Island SNL Digital Shorts. “I’m On a Boat,” “I Just Had Sex” and “D**k in a Box” were instant classics, but “Lazy Sunday” will always be my favorite. To thisContinue reading “Soap is Super Soothing”
Amazon “No Ragrets” Purchases
I clicked through almost 100 pages of orders for this, ok? Also, I know how to spell regrets. My Amazon order history is not a place I often look. It’s lengthy and a little frightening – it appears that I generally place about 200 orders per year. Yikes. In my defense, that does include aContinue reading “Amazon “No Ragrets” Purchases”
This Week I Made: Soup & Cookies
I don’t cook, except for when I do. As has been discussed, I don’t cook much. In my defense, there is some history to this. I know how to cook and, in fact, I even enjoy it (most of the time). When my husband and I started dating, he literally didn’t know how to makeContinue reading “This Week I Made: Soup & Cookies”
Small Business, Big Talent
Because two-day shipping is great, but shopping small is more fun. Among all of the things that 2020 has taught us, one that stands out to me is the importance of supporting small businesses. Don’t get me wrong – I still shop at Target and Amazon, but I have been incredibly impressed with the creativeContinue reading “Small Business, Big Talent”
Relief and Beyond
For a moment (or three days), I was really, very scared that this would be a very different post. I have been cautiously optimistic about the outcome of the presidential election for months. However, 2020 is The Worst (as we know) and I had a dark sense of anxiety floating at the back of myContinue reading “Relief and Beyond”
Milk and Cereal: A Love Story
A desperate battle between my affinity for carbs and my disdain for the smell of leftover milk. When it comes to food, my father is a creature of habit. Wednesdays are for fish tacos, and Thursdays are for spaghetti. Lunch is a medley of tomatoes, cottage cheese and balsamic vinegar, topped with pepper. Breakfast isContinue reading “Milk and Cereal: A Love Story”
Home Improvement Ninja: Wallpaper
Because why do a project when you have time and resources, when you can catch it (and yourself) unawares? When it comes to home improvement projects, I tend to have a cat-like approach. I meander slowly and aimlessly for a while, looking like I have absolutely zero interest, before suddenly and viciously mounting an attack,Continue reading “Home Improvement Ninja: Wallpaper”
