TL;DR I’m so very tired of everything and I’m still really sad. It hasn’t even been 2 months since I lost my dad. We scheduled the memorial service/ “celebration of life” (I hate typi...

One week ago my dad died. God, it never gets easier to write. I hate it here (in awareness of my own mortality and the mortality of everyone I love). I gotta be honest, I don’t know what th...

I made these but halved the recipe and only with ground beef because I had some in the freezer. Honestly, they were terrific. For the 900th time I am trying to become a meal planning and regula...

*blows the dust off this thing* I have actually missed this place, and writing something other than for work! I really have no excuse so I’m just going to roll into some life updates and th...

Tiny training buddy! I’ve started the Nike Training Club postpartum series which is good AND free but I think I need something more comprehensive. I don’t have the anatomical knowledge so I...

UGH Tumblr ate a 6-paragraph post I just wrote but I wanted to thank y’all for your advice and commiseration. The baby is fine though not discernably different. I am OK, I’ve been on the di...

Well, that was a nice 10 minutes of feeling like things were under control around here. My Decembaby is not gaining weight as fast as she should be. After various consultations the doctor recom...

Lately I’ve done some cooking because surprisingly you can get tired of takeout. It takes a while but it happens! Also, and I saw this in my own mom (but didn’t realize it), cooking is a litt...

Popping my head up for a quick update here. My daughter was born 6 weeks ago. Somehow it feels like five seconds and an eternity at the same time. I keep thinking it’s still the beginning of ...

For everyone whose holiday isn’t going the way they planned, or is sad today for reasons they can or can’t pinpoint, may I offer you a warm baby clad in fleece with a soft little head and a c...

I bought this for my nephew “from” the new baby and it was a MASSIVE hit. He loves a shaking toy and I love the absurdity of a 10-month-old carrying a dumbbell, but he literally won’t put i...

Holy shit, I had a baby.

It’s not funny that someone ripped open one of our Amazon packages for the baby, likely because it was labeled “lithium ion battery” on the outside. But. It is funny that the battery-op...

turkey pesto meatballs and orecchiette I made this last night and it was so good. Trader Joe’s didn’t have any orecchiette, so I made it with cascatelli , the new pasta shape (sure!) Nex...

A few weeks ago I was “whenever we go to a doctor’s appointment I remind my husband where I’ve left the packed hospital bag” weeks pregnant. Now I’m “up at 1am the night before the ...
