San Francisco hosted the centennial Bay to Breakers this year on Sunday, May 15. Bay to Breakers is a 12k footrace that goes from the Embarcadero (bay) to Ocean Beach (breakers). There are some serious runners, but really the majority of the participants (55,000 registered and who knows how many unofficial tagalongs) are not there […]
Not Second Best
If you came to my house, you might assume I favor one daughter over the other because our home is full of pictures of Put Pie and there is only one picture of Luna Pie gracing our walls. I love my Luna Pie just as much as I love my Put Pie, it’s just that […]

Fragmented Fridays
I’m not a friendly neighbor. It’s not that I’m mean, I’m just not friendly. I’ve lived in the same place for over 15 years and I hardly know any of my neighbors. Part of it is that I’m shy. Oh sure, most people that know me do not think I’m shy at all because I’m […]
My Husband the Feminist Pt. 2
What is up with my husband? I swear he is going out of his way to make me fall in love with him all over again. Yesterday, I wrote about one of the reasons why he is perfect for me, it involved him deciding that trying to join the Masons was not for him. Well, […]
My Husband the Feminist
My marriage is not perfect. Whose is? Liars that’s who. My marriage is beautiful, trying, frustrating at times, fun, challenging, exciting when not mundane. It is all these things and so much more. When I met the man that was to become my husband and the father of my children he was barely 21 years […]
To Extend or Not to Extend
Most products come with a year warranty if you purchase them new, right? It also seems that you can buy an extended warranty for just about anything. The first time I remember being offered an extended warranty was when I bought a Walkman. I’m dating myself! Does anyone even own Walkmans anymore? Trust me, at […]
Dear Diary,
Yesterday was my third official Mother’s Day. Can you believe it? I love that Mother’s Day is in the same month as my birthday. It ends up feeling like I’m being celebrated for a whole month. Yay, me! On Saturday, I got a package from my mother. She sent me a couple of dresses, but […]
Sundays In My City (Mother’s Day Edition)
Being the mami of a toddler and an infant means… that you get less sleep than anyone else in your household. that you get to bathe less than anyone else in your household. that by the time you get to eat, your food is cold. that it takes you 2 hours to get ready and […]
Fragmented Fridays
Perhaps it is Spring or maybe it is that Unknown Papi and I are truly focusing on being positive, but I’m in a really good mood lately. Happy, I’d say and for no particular reason. I’m excited about life and feel hopeful. One of the things I’m focusing on is being happy instead of right. […]
