rascally baby on the loose

So, Junie’s crawling and pulling up. And fucking shit up left and right. She’s more of a rascal than Zoe was at this age – she goes right for things she can pull over on herself. She has scrapes all over her face.

And guess what we’re about to do? PUT A GIANT TREE IN THE LIVING ROOM!

I’ve been researching babyproofing Christmas trees (some of the most exciting research one can possibly do) and I found this gate, which I will not be purchasing because you might as well not even have a Christmas tree if you’re going to put a giant disgusting-looking gate around it. Nevertheless, I had to show you this picture because it’s fucking hilarious.

“Okay, you just stay in here and Mommy will be right over there drinking herself into a stupor…”

Wish me luck. Letting my baby smash herself flat with a Christmas tree would be bad parenting.

There is still hope I could become a scarf person…

This is an awesome video (for a lot of reasons) about scarf tying. Really.

I was talking about this with my friend Liz not too long ago – we both have long held hopes that we’d become “scarf people”. You know scarf people – they’re the ones that effortlessly throw on a scarf and make it look natural and snappy.

When I throw on a scarf it looks forced and maybe like it’s strangling me a little.

This video could be the answer!

here’s a bad idea

So, you know Pinterest? You pin things you like in separate categories and whatnot?

Here’s my bad idea: I want a pinterest just for stuff I DON’T like. I don’t know what purpose it would serve exactly, but for some reason I have this need.

An example: this morning, I opened my Fab.com email and there is this hat.

I hate this hat. And I sort of want to tell everyone I hate it.

Is that so wrong?

Why is everything about what we LIKE? Sometimes can’t it be about what we don’t like?

Think about that on this rainy (where I am) Tuesday.

SMOOCH!
