Gifts for Your Valentine
Last Valentine’s Day, you wore black and ordered in. This year you’re in love, which means you’ll need a token of affection. But how “token” are we talking? And more importantly, is it too soon for lingerie?
Valentine’s Day Flowers Roundup
Hey look! Flowers you can order online, and they’re not ugly. Thanks, Internet.

Organize Your Office
Where’s your social security card again? Oh yeah, in the desk drawer with your old Coffee Shop Loyalty cards and the misspelled business cards you ordered two years ago. So that’s not optimal.
Once you create a place for everything, you can put everything in its place. Until then, you’ll have no idea where to find a pen.
Hank is Three!
Hank turned three today. He loves trains, and chocolate, and fire truck sirens. When he sees a new person he says, “Oh, hello friend.” He sometimes closes his eyes when he walks down stairs. If he hurts someone by accident, he kisses it better. He loves to run, and if both Bryan and I are holding his hands, he lifts his feet so we have to swing him. We go to the Academy of Sciences to visit the Daddy Fish, the Conservatory of Flowers for the train exhibit, the Japanese Tea garden for the stairs and the “fishy playground” koi ponds, and the toy store — which he requests by saying “Could we go to the toy store? It is open.” When I drop him off at day care, he finds a friend to hug, then all the kids come for a hug. Sometimes I get one too.
Happy Birthday, little Hank. I sure do like you.
Irrefutable Logic
Me: Have a bite of your zucchini soup, honey.
Hank: I can’t.
Me: Why not?
Hank: It’s dangerous.
A Woman’s Work is Never Done
Apparently we need jewelry that reminds us to exist now.
And You Thought Lucky Rabbit’s Feet Were Bad
Oh my god, you guys. I can’t stop thinking about all those headless puppies.

Whatever happened to doilies?
They used to be all the rage in old lady decor.

Mom 2.0 Photos for Haiti
A few of my photos are being shown in the Mom 2.0: Defining a Movement exhibit. In March, there will be an online silent auction to benefit Haiti — I’ll let you know more about that when it’s live. For now, you can see some photos Tracey Clark took of the show here.
Because I’m a self-taught photographer, I’m feeling honored to be included. The idea of showing my photography feels so grand that I would never have even thought to put it on my life list. Sometimes life has nicer plans for you than you have for yourself.
And if that isn’t enough saccharine for you today, here’s a kitten being surprised over and over.
