Don\’t Know What to Make of This

The ban

August 26, 2007

[This is the post I was writing when my nanny called to quit. In case you care.]  In an effort to create stimulating conversation with my husband and expedite my recovery from a blogging overdose, I came up with a crafty plan for “date night” last weekend.  My husband had taken the first step to actually [...]

My blogging conundrum(s)

August 16, 2007

When you have child care 24/7 there is no end to the time you can spend on the computer working blogging, (honey, I want to hire an au pair!)  as I have done this week.  With my husband in another state, and my parents keeping an eye on the little one I can blog when I [...]

Read It Your Self – Working Mom Linklove

August 7, 2007

Busy at work makes for a very bad blogger… that’s me this week.  But there’s so much awesome stuff swirling around the blogosphere right now, that I don’t want you to miss out.  Here’s some reading material until I can get my proverbial s*** together and be bloga-licious once again. And we think we have it rough: Apparently [...]

The Queen of all working mothers

July 19, 2007

I just finished reading a surprisingly-not-trashy-and-well-written book about Princess Di.  And then, because I couldn’t get enough of the Royal Family for one summer I watched a movie about them last night. (The Queen, if you must know. No, I hadn’t seen it yet. Remember I had a baby last year?) Anyway, can I just say, [...]

A girl can dream? Baby-sitting co-ops

July 9, 2007

Oh, it must be nice to have this kind of child care as an option: baby-sitting co-ops. As quoted by the New York Times: A more formal twist on looking after the neighbor’s children while a parent runs errands, baby-sitting co-ops are sprouting up in cities, towns and suburbs. They allow groups of families to [...]

Re-entering reality

July 8, 2007

My break from the real world has been going on 10 days now, and the fact that I have to re-enter it tomorrow, head to work and actually use my brain has me a little skittish.  I mean, I’m having a tough time just writing this blog entry – my fingers feel stiff and awkward on [...]

Deep thought of the day…

July 3, 2007

You know you’re really on vacation when the hard-hitting debate of the night is this: Does it count as “shopping” if your total purchase is less than $100? And why is everything referred to in “bucks” when it’s under $100? I spent 40 bucks at Target, but $150 at Niemans. I mean, seriously. I never [...]

Taking a break.

June 29, 2007

No, I’m not abandoning my blog, just taking a little vacation next week. It may seem like I go on vacation a lot, but really, I haven’t gone anywhere exciting since March.  But now it’s almost July, which means it’s time for my yearly family get-together in my hometown state.  A lake and hammock are calling [...]

Waste. Want? Not.

June 26, 2007

Spend any amount of time during the summer in New York City and you’ll encounter: 1) lots of dogs 2) ridiculous lines streaming out of gelato shops, and 3) garbage. If there’s one thing I don’t miss about living in the “city” it’s the garbage.  The sweet, summertime stench of good old New York City [...]

A cause of “new mom brain?”

June 18, 2007

We’ve all been there – the days of new motherhood where you can’t remember if you’re wearing clean underwear, where you put your car keys, or what you ate last night for dinner.  “New mom brain,” when your memory lapses and when you can’t think rationally, is a common biproduct of the first year few months of [...]
