Teething…maybe?

Zack is about to be 6 months old. He was a good sleeper until a few weeks ago. He started to wake up every night at about 3:30, but thankfully, would go back to sleep after a quick rock (he’s still sleeping in our room in his bassinet – I’ll save that for another post). [...]

Poo Stinks

I know. I know. Stinky poo is not a new concept. But when you’ve exclusively breastfed your 5 1/2 month old and just began to offer a variety (if you can call peas and carrots a variety), poo diapers are a whole new experience. It has now been a total of three weeks of solid [...]

Natural Beauty

On Saturday, in LA, I’m going to an art opening. Lola’s Natural Beauties is opening at Copro Nason Gallery. Here’s a sample of her work:

I know I’m partial. She’s my sister-in-law. I’ve watched her art blossom into what it is today. I’m very proud of her. But if you’ve got some time, please visit her [...]
