I think most baby food is gross. All that pureed stuff just turns me off. And guess what? My kid seems to think so, too. There are only a few jarred baby foods that he’ll even attempt to eat. Rice cereal? Hell to the NO. Pureed peas? You must be joking, woman. The good news [...]

Thought of the day
Don’t buy bubble bath from the dollar store. Even if it smells good in the bottle, it will smell like flea dip in your bathtub.
Self, stop being so damn cheap. I know the family income is lower than it used to be, but that doesn’t mean you need to smell like dog. Act like a [...]

Thought of the day
Doesn’t it just figure… I go to all the trouble of:
1. Planning a menu of dinners for the next 7 days.
2. Writing a thorough grocery list.
3. Diapering and dressing a wiggly almost-8-month-old
4. Getting myself cleaned up and dressed.
5. Loading the kid, my purse, my list, and myself into the car to go to the store
and…..

Miss America in review
So you might remember me mentioning that I was a Miss America contestant a few years (and a few dozen pounds) ago. Actually, that was… 7 years ago that I was Miss Maryland… and things have definitely changed. Miss America has gone through some troublesome times in the years since I competed. First, the pageant [...]

talk to me, baby
So, more on the talking thing… I’ve decided that I hate all the damn books and websites that tell you when your baby “should” be doing something. I don’t know that I would worry about Aiden’s lack of talking if it wasn’t something I noticed in my books. Around 5-6 months, apparently, he should be linking consonants [...]

stair master
No, I’m not about to write about my forays into exercising. Because let’s be honest. I am a lazy woman who would prefer to eat instead of workout. This does not mesh well with the new tankini I purchased for our upcoming cruise, a tankini that arrived yesterday and will promptly be returned. I guess [...]

Thought of the day
When your baby is playing with the books on your bookshelf and pulls out “A Partier’s Guide to 51 Drinking Games,” you know you’re in for some trouble in the years to come.
Cheers!

Deep Thoughts
So far, I’m thinking that 2008 is the year of zero blog inspiration. I’m just not feeling it, dawg (thank you, Randy Jackson). Sometimes I think the stay-at-home mom gig has stripped me of anything interesting to say. Sure, I could come on here and write some random things about Aiden, but then I just [...]

Of babies, beer, and TV.
I am getting pretty tired of TV right now. There’s just nothing great that is on television now and I have resorted to Tivo’ing things like The Duggar’s Big Family Album and Dr. Phil. Please, somebody save me. I had high hopes for the new show Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. Okay, I just re-read that [...]

I don’t get it.
Aiden had managed to once again weasel his way into our bed tonight, when he suddenly woke up crying. Since I just nursed him an hour before, I wasn’t about to offer my services as the resident cow… there was no way he should be hungry.
So, I picked him up and tried to comfort him [...]
