Mia received this in the mail last week, and while she’s worn part of it a few times already, I’ve just now gotten around to documenting it. I’m really disgusted with my digital camera, which seems to be capable of taking only blurry pictures indoors.

I have been making empty promises about this post since last Wednesday. Sadly, it’s already Wednesday again, almost two weeks after I originally started it, and I still may not finish it. It’s chaotic at work. Have I mentioned that? At this moment I can hear the sounds of four different classes, my own not … More It’s always something
I have not gone into labor and probably won’t until January and my baby will weigh 15 pounds and have a giant head Forgive my silence work is insane so hectic and so maddening *I started a post last Thursday, which I plan to finish today. Meanwhile, it would make me very happy if someone … More This is just to say*
My friend Steph is compiling a list of great things about being 30 for her sister-in-law, who is apparently freaking out about her upcoming thirtieth birthday. Since most of my readership is in the 30s range, I thought I’d enlist all of you to contribute to the list. Leave your “what’s great about being 30” … More thirtysomething
