I am so proud of myself for finishing four books this month. Granted, it went exactly as I predicted, and being back to work, and having time during my commute and lunch hour to listen to audiobooks means that I have actual dedicated time to read which I didn’t during maternity leave. Going forward from […]
Month: June 2018
Restaurant – Toro Toro
Earlier this month, I got to do something that is inherently cool, and that is to tour the West Wing of the White House. I may not agree with or like the current occupant, but the building itself and its history are pretty awesome, and to be respected. Tours happen after business hours, so the […]
Baby Things I’ve Liked So Far
As a new parent, the thing that constantly amazes me is that there’s no requirements for it. As in, any adult who times sex to ovulation and wants to keep the ensuing pregnancy is allowed to do it. So even if there are times where in your head you still feel like an awkward 15 […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
As I mentioned with the lemon bar recipe, back when I was told that I should try to avoid dairy for the baby’s sake, I got hit with all the cravings. I wanted cheese, but most of all initially, I wanted chocolate. Specifically chocolate chip cookies. Which is weird, because while I do enjoy a […]
Personal – Back to Work
So, as of Monday, I’m officially a working mom. I’ve got my bags and bags of stuff that I carry with me to the office every day, the largest of which is my pumping bag so I can collect all the milk for Baby B during the day and she can eat it. I’ve got […]
TV – Chef’s Table (Netflix)
I like to think of myself as a foodie. As someone who appreciates good food, and is willing to try new things. This in spite of the fact that I am also very picky, and given the opportunity would probably eat a lot of junk all the time. Fortunately for me, I have the benefit […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Lemon Squares
So I don’t know if I’ve said specifically what’s going on and why I’ve mentioned being dairy-free here on the blog. But a while ago at one of Baby B’s doctors appointments, we were talking about how well everything was going, and I happened to mention that her poop was green. Now, they tell you […]
Movies – Marvel Cinematic Universe
Remember how I used to go to the movies all the time? And how much that has dropped off? I wish I could say it was when the Boy and I moved in together and there were kids to worry about, but that’s not right. And even when we moved into our house and had […]
Theater – Camelot
It’s amazing the kind of things we let ourselves think we’re familiar with. So many movies, tv shows and theatrical performance has permeated our general pop culture that it’s easy to think, “Oh, I’ve seen that, right?” I am that way with a lot of movies. I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen Citizen Kane or […]
