Dog Training….Unraveled

A whole new level of cool

A few months ago, I got this comment in my inbox: “You know you sound really unpleasant, right? I typed ‘ irritating dog lady ‘ into Google, and your blog came up. I think you were first. Try it. Also, you misspelled -assistant- when you described your husband. That’s all.” I was kind of entertained [...]

Quiet days

My baby and I have had a very busy few weeks. Errands, simple things that take on gargantuan proportions when toting a six month old, activities, and all manner of stuff and things. Our weekends have been packed with baby showers in far flung places, play dates, endless mounds of paperwork and filing, and trying [...]

Gonna need a high chair

Because I’m currently feeding her in her swing, which is a bit rough on my back. Not to worry, I have plans for a high chair, I just was putting off actually buying it because I didn’t really want to feed her. Don’t ask why, it’s some twisted Mommy crap “then she won’t need me [...]

Squirrels gone left

Can it possibly have been over a month since I have posted? Wow. See the thing is, there have been things, and stuff, and some things going on. Mainly I have not been very inspired. That, and my darling little one suddenly is way more fun to play with, which means I’m playing stupid baby [...]

As promised

For those of you that are Q junkies, here she is on New Year’s Eve before her hard partying, wearing her super smooth “This is my black dress” onesie. Cause ya gotta have proper threads for the lifestyle. And here she is passed out from too much of the juice, she’s a lush, that one… [...]

This year

At my house, Santa came in October – and look what he brought! Ok, just kidding, not really from Santa. But is sounds cute anyway, huh? We had a tree this year, Josh’s first, ever; and the first one I’ve had in years and years. We’re calling it our “Winter tree” and named him Abercrombie. [...]

On becoming a Mom

Hello there internet people! It’s been a while, I’ve been learning to be a Mom and how to manage the baby and the beasties together. It’s not easy, but I do it. Luckily the dogs are all older and mostly reasonable, except for Teak who is still insane. I have earned the respect of many [...]

Excuse me?

The thing is, I can hear you. Yes, I am aware my child is screaming. I am doing the best I can to soothe her. But she’s a baby, and the read out on her forehead of what is currently wrong is broken, so I don’t know. She’s fed, she’s dry, she’s probably just tired [...]

Poo stories

So Q had her first official “blow out” today. OH…MY…GOD….. I have never seen anything like it. She didn’t poop yesterday, and was awake all morning, I am so so so very tired, she finally went down around 12:30, and I passed out too. She woke up around 3, and I fed her, and then [...]

Up for Air

So yesterday my baby’s umbilical cord fell off. Not thinking, I laid it on the wipee box to show to Josh when he came home. Gross, but you never know. OF COURSE, when he got home it was gone – I can only assume that some cat stole it, played with it, perhaps ate it? [...]
