The Cuteness
I wanted to share this Momversation with you not just because you get to see Chuck and Coco in live action, but if you wait for it, at about five minutes and thirty seconds in, it’s OMG ALICE. THAT IS ONE HUGE PUSSY.
Once upon a time
Every morning at about 9AM Chuck wanders upstairs having spent his morning doing WHO KNOWS WHAT in the dark corner of our bedroom. Something to do with candles and a tattered copy of Twilight probably, but he instinctively knows that it’s precisely that time of the day that I like to take pictures. And maybe [...]
Saturday afternoon eyes
Last weekend we took advantage of some good weather and spent several hours “enjoying the evening” in the backyard, even though it was mid-afternoon. Meaning I sat with Marlo to the side as Jon and Coco chased Leta, and Chuck stood in a corner looking confused. Soon Marlo will be running through that yard, too, [...]

Halloween 2009
Halloween was a total blur, mainly because we spent the week leading up to it trying to iron out the bugs of the community website, and as usual I waited until the last minute to buy candy and the only thing left at the grocery store was really expensive dark chocolate that makes little kids [...]
In the meantime
I’m working on a huge Halloween post that should take me most of the day to put together (in between feeding and cuddling Marlo), but here’s the sunset from last night. Had to share it.
Featured community question
I found this question from Becky O a little difficult to answer at first, and of course I had to keep pushing “never trust a man with two first names” out of my brain. Because that’s just a dumb rule to live by. Because come on. CLIVE OWEN. I would trust him with my everything.
