I Heart My Shoes*
Earlier this week a good friend of mine contacted me about starting a blog. She was looking for a way to explore some ideas she has, and felt that blogging could be a good creative outlet for them. (Of course, I wholeheartedly agreed. Blogging = love.) As we were covering the basics on which website to use, and how to set up the style and look of it, she inevitably asked me the question I think all writers have battled: “What should I call it?” It got me thinking about my own blogging journey, and took me right back to the day in 2006 when this little blog was born.…

Sleep Success: Baby Steps*
Oh my. Where does time go? Life just keep flying by at breakneck speeds and most days I feel like I can barely keep up. Apparently it’s July already, but I’m not sure how that happened. A lot has happened since I last posted. I celebrated my 27th birthday, and my Mom, Dad and I took Ruby on her first big trip to the great white north. I was terrified to take her in the car for that long–it’s a seven hour drive without stops. Her longest trip prior to this was 2.5 hours, and memories of her major highway meltdown a few weeks back were still very fresh in…

Bullying*
I know I’m a little behind the times, but I was finally able to catch up on a bit of news that I’ve seen all over Facebook and Twitter over the past few days. (The wee-bean went to bed at 8:30 last night. Tonight it was 8:15. WIN.) When I first saw the headlines about Karen Klein, a bus monitor from Greece, NY, I was bleary-eyed while feeding the wee-bean at some ungodly hour. I made a mental note to look into it when I was in a more conscious state, and that time finally came last night. If you aren’t yet familiar with the story, Karen Klein is a…

Baby Rolls*
Four months. Where on earth did it go? Yesterday was my little Ruby’s 4 month birthday, and we celebrated by having naps and going shopping. (I may or may not have purchased a pink jean mini-skirt for her. Don’t judge me.) She is growing like crazy and is learning new things all the time… but as she gains her baby rolls, it’s time for me to lose mine. I’ve used this blog as a platform to push myself to lose weight more than once over the course of the (almost) six years that I’ve been writing here. My greatest success was the year Peeah got married, and I came within…

Who Needs Sleep?
It’s official: I have reached a new level of exhaustion. I mentioned yesterday that Ruby doesn’t really nap. Well, apparently she doesn’t need to sleep at night either. For the past month, my little wee-bean has exhibited some… interesting… sleeping habits. I know babies are often inconsistent, but she’s all over the map. One night she’ll sleep for a 5 hours stretch, one night it’ll be 3, but more often than not she is up every hour and a half to two hours. All. Night. Long. Let’s examine last night, shall we? I began her little bedtime routine shortly after 8pm, same as every night: warm bath, jammies, stories, then…
