because i feel terribly guilty reading everyone...
i have a legit shopping addiction. it’s what i do when i want to feel better because i grew up in a family where affection and happiness were bought. it’s a terrible cycle though because i spend money even when i don’t have it to spend (or just shouldn’t) and then i feel miserable because i spent the money. therefore i do A LOT of returns. like unreasonable amounts. i know...

i’ve perfected the almost standing in the driver’s seat while we’re heading somewhere to reach behind me and simultaneously crane my hand around a rear-facing baby seat to hand something to my crying baby maneuver
so basically what i’m saying is - you probably don’t want to be on the roads when i am

so… if i change my facebook email so that it no longer matches my Tumblr email does that mean people won’t be able to find me through the new search thing? because that’s my goal.
wtf Tumblr? if i wanted my FB peeps to read my Tumblr i’d link them myself. thanks anyway.

(via interweber)(via meredithbklyn)

question for seasoned parents
when do you put the toddler rail on the crib?
my baby monkey toddler tries to scale the sides of his crib to get out. he’s getting closer and closer to being successful. i don’t want him to take a fall like that.
but on the other hand he can get himself down off of furniture (couch, our bed, etc.) so i’m afraid that if i put him in a bed without full enclosure (ie. his crib...

spent 20 minutes pulling grey hairs on my head again last night
i carefully scour small sections of hair at a time but even though i take great pains with the detail making sure i don’t miss a one (even the ones that are grey at the top but brown half way down) i’m still convinced that i have a giant white streak down the back of my head like a skunk since i can’t see that...

for most this weekend is a getaway
a time to spend at the beach with friends, with family. barbeque, potato salad, cake, and fireworks. oh and beers. lots of beers.
my weekend wasn’t planned in that vein, no going away, no nights drinking outside.
but i have to say - it’s been glorious.
some much needed catching up with a good friend going through a world of crappy stuff
3 days...

Don’t wanna get runover
Everything i love gets discontinued
Fatass

Not my problem
I‘m an idiot
Things i can’t afford
Excited to show off my pregnancy rack
Lies all lies
Yes i’m bitter

Even though i shouldn’t
Now you know
No one likes other people’s kids
I‘m old
Free donuts don’t have calories

“hey hun, do we need potatoes?”
– a message i had to send to my husband. because i’m obviously not the cook and even though i grocery shop he puts them away and i have no idea where the magical cool dry place is that makes potatoes last longer.

what i learned from my trip to CT
NJ Tpk is doing some serious stuff (additions? exits? who knows but it can’t be bad right?)
Stew Leonard’s in Newington is close enough to being like original Stew Leonard’s that i’ll take it. anything is better than Tom Leonard’s - what a waste of space.
my child is having some serious momma separation stuff right now. i mean i love that he loves and needs me but...

Ready to have a baby?

No you’re not.
I don’t know the origins of this but a friend emailed it to me and I was laughing so hard, I was crying. It is all very true. And hilarious.

i live in bizarro world
we all have body issues. no matter what it is, no matter how big or how small, whether they’re minor things that we sometimes catch in the mirror and sigh over or major things that bother us every time we put clothes on.
i’ve been struggling with mine lately, more than usual and i’ve finally figured out why - my pregnant body destroyed all the confidence i had built into my body...

I admittedly know nothing about Clay Aiken but he’s on TV right now
Isn’t he young? Why has he had so much work done? And why is he wearing more makeup than Natalie Morales?

oddly enough the thing that’s giving me the most anxiety about our impending trip to the nutmeg state is what toys to bring. i know he doesn’t need all his toys but i don’t want him to feel like he has nothing of his in a strange place but i’m obviously terrible at this. when we went into the hospital the other week i brought a GIANT bag of toys, you know what he played...

what i've learned in motherhood
when you decide to start experimenting with new tastes for your toddler’s palette, like say adding a little vietnamese chili sauce or maybe some sriracha, you should probably do it for the first time at home. or at the very least toward the end of your meal when you’re out.
because if it doesn’t go so well you don’t get to finish your food because you now have a wailing...

Have you considered the Gyro bowl? One of Matt’s good friends swears by it for his daughter. Matt said he couldn’t believe it when he saw it in action. Just a heads up!
yes, we actually got one a few months ago because we were using the Boon Snack Ball and he would just open it up and swing it around,...

so this is the weirdest thing i’ve ever posted (mainly because i never posted about losing my mucus plug. you’re welcome.) but…
you know how one foot is always slightly bigger than the other? and usually one boob is too? i was just wondering if there’s any correlation to which ones. i mean for me it’s the opposites but is that the way it always is? or is it the same...

the only thing worse than wasting your time and money on a bad mani/pedi is having to pay a babysitter $15+ an hour to do so too
