Moses Cooks
We met Moses several months ago - he goes to our church and we started attending the same community group as him. Our community group begins with a pot luck dinner, and he always brings a home made, baked from scratch, dessert. Not something you expect from a guy with tattooed eyebrows. He loves [...]

It was rainy over Thanksgiving weekend, but that didn’t stop us from getting out. Thomas and a friend spent some time together doing boy things, which involved riding bikes and playing with Transformers, to name just a couple. There was also talk of Kung Fu Panda and Light Saber battles.
The cupcake shop was golden [...]

Ruthie does! And she’ll sing ‘em for ya!
But first I would like to point out her cheeks. Aren’t they just yummy?! I saw those cheeks on an ultrasound photo when I was 26 weeks pregnant, and they have always been adorable.
Also, the level of her concentration impressed me. Maybe if you’re not her mother you [...]

track breastfeeding schedules on your iPhone - Techmamas
This obviously doesn’t apply to me at the moment, but I am fascinated by technology that is useful to me should I find myself in this… predicament. More and more I find myself consolidating my entire life into one place, despite all efforts to sabotage this. I [...]

I’ve seen a marketing campaign with this slogan on a huge banner against a newly built Belltown apartment building or condominium, and it sounds rather appealing to me at times.
Bryan’s been working downtown Seattle since late last year, which is a marked improvement from his commute to San Jose a couple years ago. However, his [...]

My first essay contribution to A Wild Ride is posted here - a story about Ruthie and I having a clash of the crayons. I met Elizabeth, the administrator of this blog, at the recent KOMO tv blogger meet-up, and look forward to sending her more stories of parenting Zug Style.

I should really call these posts ‘Twenty Minutes of Fame,’ since that’s about how long each segment is, but that just isn’t catchy.
Here is part 2 of the Kindlings Muse panel discussion with Dick Staub. In this segment you get to hear Dick put me on the spot with a question about [...]

Where have I been? I’ve been reading. And doing this. And doing that. I have many hobbies and only space for one at a time. That is where I’ve been.
Book Pile.
I finished About Grace for our book club on Monday (here at my house. Are you coming?). I liked [...]

Last Thursday I was discouraged because I hadn’t lost any weight. I wasn’t too worried about it because I knew I had splurged a little on Mother’s Day when a few men made their wives a fantastically decadent brunch complete with Mimosa’s. Also, I ate my gift of chocolate covered raisins liberally (my [...]

As predicted, you have not heard from me for awhile. Last night I chose to read some of the blogs in my RSS reader and not watch commercials. The night before that I took a hot bath with lavender oil and read a book. During the day I’m trying to stay busy [...]

I only have a couple minutes to post because the season finale of The Shield is about to start. Last week when Bryan was gone, I had a particularly lonely and depressed-ish afternoon. I sent Bryan a quick email that said something like, ‘Can you write me a lovely note? I need [...]

Me: I was always disappointed my mom was a fashion nerd…
there was NO WAY I wanted to share her clothes like all my friends did with their moms
Her: yep. my mom always dressed like a teacher (which shouldn’t be shocking) but I was always embarrassed
Me: ooo, good point. my mom is a teacher, too.
Her: [...]
