Now, If Only I Could Do Something With The Other 10 Blank Walls In Our Home
This entry is not about the really INSANE and STRESSFUL and possibly I CRIED A LOT day I had yesterday that kept me from posting. I might write about the cool part of yesterday (More! Santa!) later, but that will have to wait until after I erase the crappy parts (3! Hours! At! The! Pediatrician!) permanently from my memory. I am so happy with that small bit of weird wall I can’t contain myself. I’ve been carrying around a picture of that wall on my cell phone and... Read More
The Naked Truth
Do you see how HUGE this tree is? It was a score from a family who moved into a house with short ceilings last year. I put all of our ornaments from our small tree on this huge one last year and it made the half you could see look sparsely decorated. This year, we went out and bought a few packs of ornaments from Target to try to make the part you could see thoroughly decorated. (For the record, the “shatter proof” ornaments at Target? Seem to really be shatterproof.... Read More
Quentin Tarantino Does Gingerbread House Theater
What makes you Mimi Of The Year? When you open up your very clean kitchen to a 3-year old armed with red and green icing. And you don’t fret about it a bit.

Mimi’s dogs would like you to know though, that they loved the whole experience. As they sat under... Read More
We Do Not Fear The Mud
Target had a clearance rack this weekend full of dresses 30%-75% off. I scored this one and NikkiZ immediately came home and put it on over a pair of khakis. Because what goes with fake sequins the best? Dungarees. And pink suede tennis shoes. She obviously gets her fashion sense from me. Then, she wore it again the next day to dinner at the in-laws’ house. And then this morning? She wanted to wear it to school. So, I sent her to school in this sequined shiny prom dress... Read More
Brave New World
AndyZ is not only sitting up (something he started last week) but he has also started commando crawling. He is no longer trapped wherever we leave him which means I now have to start thinking about things like, “Where did I leave that switch blade?” I think it’s time that he move to his crib. (Have I said this 50 times already?) He moved around enough in bed last night that he ended up right next to MrZ. Which is not a safe place to sleep if you’re... Read More
