Snow

February 22, 2011

Looks like we have some white stuff coming. Maybe. admin

Surfing on babyage.com today I saw this toy: and it reminds me of a commercial version of a child’s idea of riding in a cardboard box down the stairs. Generally, I’m all for toys without batteries and noises, but this one makes it on my please don’t buy my boys this one list for it’s […]

Convertibles

February 18, 2011

Hubby would get all excited and think this post is about some fancy car like this Lamborghini: but unfortunately for him I’m thinking of this Lululemon hoodie and how adorable it is AND how not only is it cute, but smart-it […]

Sharks on the Farm

February 17, 2011

Yesterday at farm school it was time to saddle up and get on a pony named Rio. But before we could ride him, we had to do some manual labor. This meant that no matter how cute you looked in your little shark hat, you still had to go and get buckets of sawdust to […]

Love Love Love

February 15, 2011

What’s not to love about a holiday devoted to love? And chocolate? And flowers? Here are a couple things that made for a really sweet day: admin

Folding Travel Potty Seat

February 10, 2011

This item is worthy enough for a whole post. The current potty issue is driving me insane-and we’re only at the beginning stages. The more pressing issue for me is what do you do if your babies have to potty when you’re out in public once you truly start training? Do I pack my potty […]

When days get cold

February 3, 2011

When it’s chilly outside I think of travel and getting away from it all and two places on my mind right now are New York and San Diego. Yes, on opposite sides of the country(one where it’s totally freezing!) and not at all practical to accurately compare, but hey, I never promised to be rational. […]

Missed the farm today…

February 2, 2011

so I’m posting this pic a friend took of the Bean holding hands with one of her lovely girls at the farm for Wordless Wednesday. It’s supposed to be wordless, but I’ll forget the significance if I don’t write it down and everyone knows I tend to babble. It’s freezing cold in Seattle and when […]

Two Great things!

February 1, 2011

A new groupon-like site is offering a 20 dollar box of theo chocolates for 10 bucks and they’re evening donating part of the cost to the zoo! And, Red Tri has a great contest on now-if you send the current newsletter to 5 friends, you’re in the running for $500 in cash! Sign up here […]

Bravest thing I’ve ever done…

January 31, 2011

I took the two crazies on the bus on Friday. By myself. And we had a blast. I made sure we had a back up plan arranged with Daddy P just in case there were tears and mayhem but I did fine and so did they. […]

What toddlers want for breakfast

January 27, 2011

These are airplanes. I think the guys are telling me something-maybe we need to go somewhere soon-we’ll see. I will definitely have to work on my pancake skills. admin

How many Terumis do you know?

I love it when you find a good deal and get a shout out:) Check it out here: And apparently I have a jewelery line too! Not mine, of course, but one can dream:) admin

A day of making…

SNOT. We had runny noses all day today. It was sad because we were looking forward to hanging out with friends, but it wasn’t one of those miserably sick kind of days, so we made the most of it. We started the day with a glorious sunrise and a play doh picnic in the kitchen. […]

And here it is: Kids Fly Free to Disneyland…

January 26, 2011

Not sure how great this deal is, but if you’re going to go to see Mickey in his land and your kids are two or older, you might want to check this link out-I wish this promotion was on when we took the guys…. admin

How to eat a Salad Roll…

or maybe I should call this where to eat one. The kids seem to love the Tofu Salad Rolls at Chinoise Cafe on Queen Anne hill the best. Here’s proof: I think it’s because their Peanut Sauce is delicious, but the fact the wee ones enjoy devouring […]

I wanna be a rockstar!

This weekend we took the guys to the EMP with their grandparents and they immediately took to the noisiest instrument they could find! Here’s a video of the Bean looking quite natural on the drums-it might be sideways or upsidedown-you know me and technology. (Uncle Niv are you out there? Please help:) ) admin

Go Dog Go (Seattle Children’s Theatre)

January 20, 2011

Maybe Amy Chua would frown on this one, but one big thing I want my children to appreciate is theatre and all things artsy, so when they couldn’t stop talking about the “Green Sheep” play we went to back in September of last year, I knew they were going to adore “Go Dog Go.” I […]

Walrus and the Carpenter (Ballard)

January 18, 2011

Every so often mom and dad get a chance to eat out somewhere and not feel like they’re old and not cool at all. And when my hubby read something about a new Restaurant in Ballard being named in GQ as one of the 10 best new restaurants in America (very bold) and I had […]

Tutta Bella Pizza (Wallingford)

January 12, 2011

You know it’s going to be a good night when your kid looks like this before a meal: My other guy takes it a little more seriously…..he knows what’s coming.We all love Happy Hour night at Tutta Bella pizza. So much so that when the pizza came, I forgot to take pictures this time. I love that […]
