My Pet Shadow
We are in the official doldrums of summer over here. It’s hot hot hot and the new owners of our apartment complex* have decided to forgo opening the pool in exchange for lowering our rent by $30. I’ll take those savings, but I’d prefer a pool when the mercury rises. Having B home is great […]
Step One to Beating the Childhood Doldrums: Summon the Dead
When you are a kid, sleeping at a home other than your own is a welcomed break from the norm, despite the apparent lunacy of the practice. I mean, seriously, your odds of contracting childhood lice are high enough as it is just by attending school. It seems like you would want to avoid any opportunity […]
Why Are You Trying to Ruin My Life?
Boring Subtitle: A Survey of All the Trips I Ever Took As a Teen With My Family I was really excited when Ashley of Zebra Garden came to me suggesting that we start a linkup where we could reflect on all the ridiculousness of our childhoods. Now I have the weekly opportunity to embarrass myself more! Wins all […]
Toys and Why I Kind of Hate Them
On Tuesday, I was honored to receive another Freshly Pressed nod by my friends at WordPress*. I wish I could be cooler about the whole thing and not even bring it up in a post, but the truth is that every time I get recognition – any recognition – it’s a major thrill for me. […]

We share an interest in blogging and social media, so many times we narrate our evening strolls with C with conversations about Medium, blogging, and how we’re going to make our millions talking on the Internet. (Hint: we’re not.) The […]

Twindaddy graciously invited me to write a guest post on his formidable corner of the Intertron, and I, of course, was all over that. Then – surprise, surprise – Wee Cee commandeered the keyboard while I was busy watching Arthur (because, let’s be honest, I am more of a fan than she is. She has […]
Oooooh That Smell: Living with a Stinky Kid
It will happen. You will think your baby is immune to it and that it’s an affliction that only claims children who log 30+ hours each week in the Pit of Filth otherwise known as McDonald’s Playplace, but you will be sorely wrong. You’ll wake up one morn lacking the ninja skills to effectively rid […]
The Korean T-Shirts You’ve Heard So Much About
ME: I should blog more about Korea. I mean, come on, that stuff is gold. B: Yeah. There are hardly any blogs about expats teaching English in Korea. No one does that. You would really have the corner market on it. ME: Hey, now. B: Just don’t be all like, “ZOMG you guys!!!! Look at […]
A Modern Day Parable of Optimism
Sunday was a weird day for my husband. He turned 30 amidst speculation that his blogging platform – Tumblr – would be sold to Yahoo!. Don’t for a second think that the irony is lost on either of us. Peace out, twenties. Here’s how he felt about it: By Monday afternoon, the deal was done. […]
