Baby Carrot
I took my daughter Sloane to the doctor today to have a mysterious rash that suddenly appeared on her wrist and face checked out (I suspected the burlap sheets and the steel wool pillow she sleeps on in her comfy little cage) The doctor entered … Read More →
My Glamorous Morning
My morning began at 5:30. Kids thought it would be nice to see me extra cranky today. Cats giving me evil eye because we are out of food for the 3rd day in a row, so they get a can of tuna fish yet again. … Read More →
Sidewalk Art
I know this doesn’t really qualify as “art” but it does brighten up the sidewalk in front of our house. I was asked to draw our cat Kiwi, and I obliged. Although Kiwi is a striped cat, not a polka dotted one. Explosive diarrhea from … Read More →

Free Range Organic All Natural Sneakers
Organic sneakers? Oh yes. Nothing but the best for my little princess. Thank goodness they’re organic because if she ever gets stranded on a desert island or kidnapped by a gang of anorexic vegans and she’s super hungry, she can eat her shoes without worrying … Read More →
The Goat Whisperer
I think she can communicate with spiders too. I say this because last night she was ready for bed, looked up at the ceiling and asked “What’s that?” My husband and I turned to see the biggest, furriest, most disgusting spider we had ever encountered … Read More →
I Actually Left the House After Dark
I don’t usually leave the house after dark. Sometimes I feel that Count Dracula and I have a bit more in common than I’d like to admit. He doesn’t leave his creepy, dark, blood soaked castle before sunset and I don’t leave my creepy, dark, … Read More →
