Today, I met a Mommy friend in the Duboce Park area and we decided to go to Duboce Park Cafe (http://www.doloresparkcafe.org/). I’ve been to this cafe many times with mixed results, but they make a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich that I always enjoy so I decided to treat myself. Oh, boy! I ordered the sandwich […]

Lovin’ Hug, Mami’s Little Helper
Today, I took apart my baby’s Lovin‘ Hug Swing by Graco. You can use the swing up until 30 lbs and Put Pie has at least 9lbs to go, but she’s made it loud and clear that she no longer enjoys the ride. No big deal, I went and bought a big plastic tub to […]
…and then there’s Maude!
Maude TV Opening Theme I had a totally different post planned for today, but then I learned that Bea Arthur passed away and I just had to acknowledge the joy she has brought me. Many people love Bea for her role on The Golden Girls, but for me it’s all about Maude. I loved watching […]
Baby Weight?
My Mother is coming to visit for Mother’s Day and I should be thrilled, especially since it was my idea and I bought her the ticket, but truly I’m terrified. Why? Because I’m fat. It’s true. For the first time in my life I am officially overweight. I’ve been heavier than I would like to […]
Baby Shaking app! WTF!?
Apple pulled an app for iPhone that lets you stop a baby’s crying by shaking the baby to death! Honestly, how did this app get past “go”? I don’t get it. Maybe, I’m upset about it because I’m the parent of a baby, but I think I would feel the same way even if I […]
Socializing IS a Priority
Today was a beautiful, sunny San Francisco day. The kind of day that makes you feel blessed to live in such a marvelous city. The plan for the day was to meet up with two Mommies and their lovely babies. This Mami decided to jog to the designated meeting place in order to get some […]
Working Outside the Home
I work outside the home one day a week. It’s not much and that’s just how I like it. Keep in mind I also work from home (different job) about 10 -20 hours a week. For awhile, I was working outside the home 2 days a week, the days my husband has off, but it […]
Cruisin’ for Mommies
I’ve never been one to make friends quickly. I’m not one of those people who strikes up conversations with strangers. If anything, I avoid any such contact. I’ve always been fine spending time alone and I don’t mind being social, but I prefer to be a bit of a hermit. Until…Mamihood. Being a mom can […]
Sunday Family Sunday
Domingo es el unico dia de la semana que puedo estar con mi familia entera. I used to work on Sundays, but no more. If it weren’t for Sundays I’d never get to be with my whole family. Sundays are family fun days! This morning my husband made me apple pancakes. Yum!!! It was a […]
Sleep Training
The sleep training is working! Today, I got Put Pie to take 2 by the clock naps and when I put her in her crib tonight, she looked at me with those cute little eyes, watched me walk out and didn’t cry!!! She’s been sleeping for about 3 hours now and I still can’t believe […]
