There’s nothing like getting up bright and early after a long night of catching up on all the new season premieres I have stuffed on my TiVo, climbing on my motorcycle for a brisk morning commute, and getting soaking wet from rain showers. That no one told. me. about.  Thanks much, Mister Weatherman!
Anyway, I wanted […]

In just a few short weeks, L.A Mommy and I will be ushering a new life into the world. Well, she’ll do most of the work, but I’ll be there for moral support and to provide ice chips.
This second time around - I’m excited, worried, nervous… but not really scared. There’s no fear of the […]

It’s great to mark those important milestones. Baby’s first steps. Her First words. First day of school and all that.
We had one of those firsts this past weekend.
L.A. Toddler managed to give herself her own personal Dutch Oven. Smells in children start out very basic and a lot of smells (both good and bad) are […]

Our trip to Long Beach was a nice little adventure.
What a shame it is that nearly every vacation you take wears you out so much that you need to take a vacation from your vacation? All three of us are tired and cranky this week. We didn’t want to go back home or return to […]

I would say that it’s good to be back. But it’s not.
We took a little mini-vacation over the weekend. We’ve only got an estimated 7 weeks to go before L.A. Fetus comes out to greet us. Our thinking was that we needed to get away for a little while - spend some quality time with […]

I’ve been accused of being a stubborn person. But I’ll deny it to the death.
Want to teach your child to be stubborn? There are many ways to do it. But I’ve got one way I’ve promised myself I
won’t pursue. It’s how my mom taught me to be as stubborn as she is.
As a parent, we […]

I love America. You really can do a lot of what you want here. You even have the right to be stupid.
Today is a day of remembrance.
But I really hope that Americans are doing more than remembering. I hope they’re learning. I know… it’s silly of me to expect everyone will get something out of […]

Wow. It’s been a whole year already. It seems like it’s been so much longer, too…
I started this blog back in September of last year. This is my official one year anniversary. Feels pretty good. I know so many have been doing this for much longer (and much better) than I have but you’ve got […]

Are you as anal as I am about some things? I hope you’re not. Seeing as how I have a few obsessive-compulsive habits, it doesn’t really surprise me how anal I can be. But now that I have a child, I was hoping that I would mellow like a fine wine. Instead, I’m utterly convinced […]

Saturday was a special treat for me. I got to engage in one of my true passions. Since it’s a relatively expensive passions — and usually out of my budget — I rarely get to do it. But I was invited by the lovely and charming Kim from House of Prince to head out, with […]
