Does anyone else think that the tent in my cool logo looks like… well… something? Or things, as the case may be?
Now that I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it.
8 CommentsBlog of the week – Acting Like A Kid – A Stage Mom Blog
Charlie, as you may have heard, is cute. Tremendously cute. The kind of cute where people stop and stare kind of cute. They all want his blond, blue-eyed, cabbage patch kid goodness to beam at them in delight and chortle his little baby chortle. The boy is seriously adorable.
For a short time we considered getting him into baby modeling. It took the barest minimum of research before I decided against it. The process involves quite a bit of “hurry up and wait” and many boring hours for your little one. The business also requires …read more

More history
As an aside: I’m sorry for the length of time between posts, Fabulous Reader. I’m actually finding this fairly difficult to talk about. I thought I was through this and had found myself at last, but going back and looking at what got me where I am is proving a sticky mess. I keep having to walk away from this and yesterday I mysteriously deleted half of it. But I’ll get there, I swear, no matter what the opinions of my stupid brain.
If you’ll forgive me, I’m going to yadda yadda my Jr. High years. They …read more
