Heavy is the hand that holds the cake pop. 💞Valentine’s Day had a rough start (because toddler tantrums and bakeries across town being out of their special holiday pastry after you endured said tantrum to make the trek there), but the day was redeemed with homemade cake pops, enthusiastic friends, and no restraints in sprinkles application. After naps we strolled around the neighborhood delivering them to friends. Henry has made this day a verb and keeps on asking if he can “Valentines more people,” which means shower the people he loves with things he loves. And that is the very heart of what we should celebrate today, in all its inclusive and platonic goodness.Etta is a constant reminder of when I last got my hair cut (9 months next week). She’s also my saving grace on days like today, when a certain toddler just about did me in with his need and she’s all like “Go ahead and neglect me mom, it’s cool. I’ll just giggle at you from across the house and grin until you’ve got a second to tend to my very simple and logical needs. And when The Loud One takes every. Single. Toy. Away. I shall just merely persevere and amuse myself for 45 minutes with a spoon I found under the couch. Ladies gotta look out for each other. PS: I did spit up in your hair when you weren’t looking. Really gotta get those mangy ends trimmed.”Archives

So, I promise this isn’t as emotional as that title made you think. Seriously y’all, can’t have too many sappy posts in a row. Instead, this is a post to legitimately confess the deeply strange habits that one acquires when … Continue reading

This month we enter our third year of living in this little one bedroom apartment on Capitol Hill, a place where I don’t think we really intended to stay for three years. And I love this little place, really I … Continue reading
