I don’t need to have children to know the worst part of parenting is potty-training. It’s an uphill battle and will occupy a lot of my weekend. For better or worse, Gwen loves to visit the bathroom but her success rate is about 1 in 20 visits. Those trips are exhausting but not the worst … More Happy Friday!
Some wise words from Amy Poehler that stick with me this first week after my job. I’ve never been good at doing things I’m not ready for. For the most part I avoid it at all costs. I don’t believe in regrets but my #1 regret in life is not taking AP English or Government … More Happy Friday!
It’s an end of an era. Phase two of my professional life is over and it’s been one incredible experience. This picture is from 2006. At the time I was a wide-eyed college student excited to meet Senator Levin and anxious for a picture as evidence. I never imagined that I would work for him … More Happy Friday
I’m not religious and to maintain Godparent status I won’t admit the frequency in which we attend Mass. With that preface, I admit that Pope Francis speaks to the Catholic in me. My unwavering aversion is life is hypocrisy and I’ve too often felt that the church is a leading perpetrator. Francis is different. He’s … More Happy Christmas!
The look on her face reflects all the mischief she plans to get into now. Our borrowed baby Gwenie turned 2 this week! I can’t believe how quickly the time passes. I remember rushing to the hospital the day she was born. Traffic was horrible and GPS took us to the wrong place. I remember … More Happy Friday!
What a week! It didn’t go as planned, which is why I didn’t post yesterday but c’est la vie. Life happens and that’s ok. Tomorrow Danny and I are hitting the town. With a photographer in tow I hope to have some quality content for next week. This weekend Cara and I will continue our … More Happy Friday!
I rarely go to the movies. With the exception of the drive-in, I can’t think of the last non-Marvel/superhero film I’ve seen in a theater. If I don’t see a movie at AMC or with Kat for movie night I’m probably never going to watch it. Right now there are four films that have my … More Happy Friday!
The Little Seed Farm is a blog I started reading a few years ago. Now it’s a business and the blog is only updated on occasion. James and Eileen (formerly known as Scrapple and Sweetbreads) are living the new American dream. A few years ago they were working in Manhattan with successful but unsatisfying careers. … More Happy Friday!
This week I’ve suffered from a serious bout of home envy. It comes in waves and currently it’s tsunami levels. We have a home plan. Re-sign our lease and then buy a house this time next year or in 2016 (however it works out). The hope is that it’s a beautiful brick house in Detroit … More Happy Friday!
A testament to true love, Danny went on Pinterest for party ideas. He found signature Gone with the Wind cocktail recipes that are fantastic! I’ll definitely be making them again (this weekend for example) and highly recommend the Rhett Butler. The Rhett 2oz Southern Comfort 1/2oz fresh lime juice 1/2oz fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz … More Happy Friday!
