– happy birthday, baby blog! This weekend, R'N'F turned 2. Remember this? Or how about this ?Fun fact: Rob Pattinson was the first dude to grace the end of the blog. … REALLY?! ROB PATTINSON!? Not Christian Bale or … Christian Bale? Another fun fact: I have a Pinterest board titled "End of…

I am not a very successful marathoner. Yes, I finished one… "Finished" being the key word… Not "ran". Nevertheless, after completing that marathon, I was pretty sure I wanted to do another one. And now I'm sure. Because finish lines should look like this: Or this: Not like… well, you know. I want to run…

HEY-O. It's been a long time. SORRY. I had this thought that if I didn't blog I'd have more time to do… you know, stuff. And guess what? I got LAZIER. Granted, I was rehearsing for a little show, practicing the ballrooms, momming the ladies, while trying to keep the layer of…

It's not often that I do product placement [LIES! ALL LIES! I do it all the time. Here. Here. Here. And here.], but sometimes I feel really passionate about a particular doodad and have to share it with you. Sinus Buster, people.

– extended bedtimes for the little ladies, to accomodate my ever-expanding work schedule. I thought I was a stay-at-home mom? NAY, says the dancing population of the Twin Cities. Okay, fine, I'll teach everybody. – cursing the little ladies (in my head) for not being asleep already as I'm writing this, but oh… [see above]…

EASTER! I was pondering why Christmas gets so much more play than Easter, because really, without Easter, a LOT of the world wouldn't label themselves what they are. Plus, on the non-secular side, it's Spring and an Equinox and not winter. Ponder amongst yourselves. Anyhow, "what I wore Sunday" is actually what I wore Saturday…

As much as I think one should know what they're getting into with the whole motherhood thing, I feel like I've been a poo-poo-er of rearing children. But it's a sweet gig, I swear. You get to play with your old toys. Or just pick out the really cool new toys. My Little Pony? TOTALLY…

– I've never been quite so proud of my husband. Usually I do the grocery shopping, but I texted him a list on his way home from work and he came home with this baby. yes There are legends about amazing "meat sales", but I always thought they were myths. UNTIL NOW. – Told myself…
