Summer Staycation: Kiddie Pool & BBQ Montage
This year’s vacation was a staycation. It took the form of water sports, art appreciation, culinary delights, fine friends and exotic events. That we were in the backyard, neighbor’s house or just down the block? Even better.
There was also some streaking, but those are private photos.
What did you do this summer?
Going Urban: Family Life in the Tower District
Where should we live? My husband, Jimmy, and I were losing our home in a foreclosure and needed to find a place to rent.
“I’m done with the idea of white-picket fences and the exact-right school district,” I said while scrolling through ads on Craigslist. “We should live somewhere for the experience of it.”
Jimmy agreed.

Saving Lacey
Lacey ate more than normal for a newborn, but kept losing weight. At about a week old she started vomiting and having episodes of pain that made her act as if she was on fire.

This whole circle-of-life thing boggled my [...]
Wearing flip-flops a dream come true for this little girl
Anna’s dream is to wear flip-flops. While many of us take the sandal for granted during hot summer months, this will be the first year Anna gets to slide a pair between her toes.
That’s because, until recently, her feet and hands were webbed together due to a rare condition called amniotic band syndrome (ABS). Dr. [...]
Kids Punk’d by Kraft on Field Trip
These kids got punk’d on their field trip for a Lunchables commercial. While the aliens might need pre-packaged, high-sodium nibbles on their long, fake space missions (could go great with Tang), do the kids really need to be involved this kind of production to promote junk food?
What in the world is all of this about? [...]

Filed under OMFG: Toddler has 2-pack-a-day smoking habit
Blowing smoke rings as a teen was pretty cool. Of course, that was before I understood the implications and health issues — and that I wasn’t invincible — and quit smoking cigs in my late 20s.
This Sumatran toddler may not have the benefit of maturity to open his eyes to the dangers. Hell, at 40 [...]
