Sometimes life gives you harsh reality checks. I’m not sure how in the first month or two after baby B was born that I managed to read and finish any books. Actually – that’s not true. What happened was she was awake at all hours of the night, which meant I had the opportunity to […]
Month: May 2018
TV – Queer Eye (Netflix)
Back in the early 00s, I did a lot of babysitting. It was how I earned the majority of my spending money in high school and college, though I did have a few part-time jobs during the holidays and summers. But babysitting – babysitting I loved, because I got to hang out with kiddos, and […]
Events – Royal Wedding
I am slightly obsessed with the British royal family. Not like, following the z-list members all the time, knowing EVERYONE’S name and place in line for the throne obsessed, but for the central figures – yeah, sure. I follow the Kensington Palace instagram account, and for the last couple years have eagerly followed news whenever […]
Recipe – Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken
Remember how I said that the slow-cooker should be my new best friend with a baby and four bigger mouths to feed? Well, after the success that I had with the broccoli cheddar soup in the slow-cooker, I decided to try something else out. And I love both garlic and lemon, and chicken is such […]
Personal – My First Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a weird holiday. So many holidays are all-inclusive, or are if you are celebrating them. Mother’s Day is different in that it’s exclusive and celebrates a special subset of humanity. Obviously all people come from mothers, but not all women are mothers. And there are lots of people for whom the holiday […]
Theater – Waiting for Godot
There are certain things that as a cultured person you feel you ought to know, or read or see. There have been times when – despite being an aficionado of pop culture – I have failed myself profusely on some of these popular culture touchstones in literature, theater, movies and television. And I felt really […]
Services – Foodstirs
I feel like I’ve reviewed a fair number of subscription services. From personal shoppers for clothing, to wine, to meal kits, to meal kits, to flowers…I mean, I know there are lots more things I could be looking at like beauty boxes and things for pets, but honestly, those aren’t as important to me for […]
Books – April 2018 Round-Up
Note: I don’t know what happened guys – I wrote this last week and set it to post…and apparently that didn’t happen. It turns out NEITHER of my posts from last week went through, so I’ll get those out as soon as I can, starting now Oh my goodness, there’s so much I could complain […]
Recipe – Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup
So one of the things that I learned in being on maternity leave is that slow-cooker recipes are your friend. Anything that you can prep, and then throw into the slow-cooker, and not have to think about for hours is going to be a winner. It kind of makes me wish I had a more […]
