Wanna see Girly McBaby’s face?

I am warning squeamish readers that it is pretty scifi, but I am obsessed. A few months ago I pondered aloud what Girly McBaby might look like since Pete and I are opposite looking humans, and were opposite looking babies. I sought answers on the internets, and the highly scientific result was a pretty terrifying [...]

This will be my mantra…

…After I have birthed Girly McBaby. Here Although after 9 months of discovering combinations like mint milanos with nutella (do it) I’m not sure it’ll take. **PEOPLE!! I did not buy this pillow, it’s a joke. I have gained 45 pounds so far carrying this baby since she is high risk and the concern was [...]

Nursery Diaries Roundup

Ok, so I am a copycat. Erika of Urban Grace called her series pulling together the nursery for her precious Sloane “The Nursery Diaries” and I couldn’t think of anything better sooo- we are too. I thought things were getting confusing for all those following along on Girly McBaby’s nursery with rapt anticipation, and that [...]

Just a quick post…

…To offer proof on the necessity of the Crocs for all who (understandably) doubted me… That swolen pork sausage you see there is my foot after one hour walking around in a flip flop. Now that you have probably vomited, I also should tell you that San Antonio was great. The Havana Hotel was really [...]

You guys are seriously amazing.

All of your advice was super super helpful. Some of it was also super hillarious-Lauren@Baylor I’m talking to you… Thank you all for keeping it real on the not so ladylike aspects of childbirth. You’re all homegirlz. And because we are now close like that, I am going to reward you by sharing a deep [...]

That was very successful…

…Let’s try it again! Thank you ALL for your reader participation yesterday. I think the consensus is that small spaces can be awesome, but organization is key. And downsizing sucks. I guess humans are like goldfish, you and your stuff grow to fit your bowl. We have also determined that these people are either like [...]

I can’t stop thinking about this apartment.**update**

Remember this cover from House Beautiful a while back? It was a big hit in the blog world and in my heart. And lately has been on my mind a lot for many reasons. I loved the fresh purple and red. Like a rock n’ roll valentine. And like everyone else died over their salvaged [...]

I have been perplexed…

….About what to do with one of the bedrooms at our new house. Let me demonstrate to you the problem here. So let’s assume that this is a NSEW situation. On the north wall there is a door to the bathroom, and a door to the closet. No place to put a bed. On the [...]

It’s getting hot in hurr.

It is currently inhospitable out of doors here in Houston. I am running for Mayor representing The Air Is Too Damn Hot party. Which is a problem for my 8 month pregnant, space heating body. And I am certainly not spending any unnecessary time out of doors. Which is a shame because before I moved [...]

Cute things for cute butts.

I have recently been banned by both my mother and my husband from buying anymore baby clothes until Girly McBaby’s arrival. I find this rude. But not completely absurd. I am also not completely abiding by the ban. When I was in Austin this past weekend I found this number by Belle Parish and decided [...]
