I’m a Glutton for Adventure

13.1

February 16, 2012

Chris here, guest blogging. I suppose at this point I should take the title “Contributing Editor” or something significant like that. Anyway, my blog post. I definitely had icicles in my moustache at one point. And I may or may not currently have diaper rash from excessive sweatage. But I’m glad I did it. It [...]

On A Completely Unrelated Note.

February 15, 2012

A week after the Escapee Mailbox incident, I heard the sound again. clank-a-roll-a-clank-a-roll-clank-a-roll Oddly enough, I actually didn’t recognize it at first. I peered out of my blinds, and then remembered as I watched our postlady chase our mailbox down the street yet again. But this time, she slammed it back into place with a [...]

Make it Work.

February 13, 2012

I have a confession to make: I’m afraid of print journalists. Journalactophobic, perhaps? (Kinda sounds like I’m afraid of lactating journalists, but it will do.) Being that I’m considered in the field of “new media”, I will occasionally get invited to a press event.  With magazine writers, newspaper journalists, and the occasional television reporter. They [...]

Wife of a Preacher Man.

February 6, 2012

“They want you to do…what??” So my husband preached yesterday. As in, wore a suit and a tie and a Britney mic and stood behind the pulpit in the bright lights and preached. The evidence that this event occurred can be found in the gigantic My-Husband-Is-Preaching Stress Pimple right between my eyes. Because apparently, everyone [...]

The Blog Post That Never Was.

January 30, 2012

Disclaimer: Not for the faint of heart.  Or men.  In fact, I don’t recommend reading this post at all.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have finally completed the weaning process. This was harder than I expected – not for Noah, but for me.  The reality that he is most likely my last child [...]

A Culmination of Sweet, Sweet Justice.

January 25, 2012

Chris and I went to Atlanta last weekend. I had a couple of Vault parties in The Big City, and he tagged along to make it a date weekend. Friday night, we went out to eat at Taverna Plaka with Chris’ former roommate and Roommate’s Girlfriend. If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, [...]

The Black Friday Buzz.

November 29, 2011

Blissfully drunken with holiday cheer and the much needed four day weekend, Chris and I became horrible parents, of the over-permissive variety. “Sure honey, you can turn the hardwood stairs into a slip ‘n slide!” “Why not? Of course you can drive today!” “Oh, you want to drive like your little brother? Okay, Ali! You [...]

The Chuck.

November 15, 2011

E. Cheese, that is. Chris and I made it four years, ten months, and three days into our parenting career without crossing his threshold.  And we were well pleased with ourselves. Then we received an invitation to a good friend’s son’s birthday party.  A friend that Ali would be disappointed to miss his celebration. (A [...]

Treasure Heads.

November 14, 2011

My Mom has a special sort of Homeschool-Mom-Genius-Gene that I really, really hope I inherited.  She was able to expertly turn everything into a learning experience, yet somehow make it extraordinarily fun at the same time. (Okay, most things were fun.  Finding my little brother’s dissected frogs in brown paper bags in the fridge was [...]

Ali, on Fanciness.

November 3, 2011

Naturally, a lot of our life revolves around Noah right now. His often and stringent nap schedule, His crappy diapers, His need for food, His obsession with putting everything in his mouth and therefore preventing his sister from freely playing with all of her favorite little things, Him, him, him. Due to this unbalanced state [...]
