No, I haven’t stopped making bentos for James. Are you kidding me, that boy loves him some bentos! I’ve just had to make more boring ones lately due to my extreme exhaustion at the end of the day (thanks a lot, Baby #3!). But I thought I’d share a few quick ones that I’ve managed to [...]

Tonight was bath night, so Sydney and I headed upstairs after dinner to get things ready. She had a messy diaper (both kinds), so I cleaned her up and didn’t bother putting on another diaper since I was running the bath water. She loves to run around naked so I let her play around in [...]

I know, I know. Neither of us has posted in AGES! I’m sorry! My last day of work for the holidays was December 19th and I just had had it with computers by then. In my non-mom life, I am an IT Director at a large national medical research philanthropy. It is a great job [...]
