We don’t watch a lot of TV at our house (Sam watches none at all) so we miss commercials advertising the Christmas specials. Every year, I miss my old favorites because I forget to check the listings and see when they’re on. This year, not only have I looked ahead at the listings, but I’m [...]
I discovered on Friday why Sam has been so cranky this week (besides another cold). He has four molars coming in simultaneously, poor little guy! I thought his gums felt a little swollen when I was brushing his teeth, but didn’t really think much of it. Then Friday, I saw a white corner coming through [...]

It [...]
Did anyone else get the Crate and Barrel holiday catalog this weekend? I have only once shopped at C&B (using a gift certificate I got at work for “outstanding customer service”). So why, oh, why must they continue to send me these mouth-watering catalogs filled with page after page of saucy reds, warm earthy browns [...]
