Halloween 2009
Halloween was a total blur, mainly because we spent the week leading up to it trying to iron out the bugs of the community website, and as usual I waited until the last minute to buy candy and the only thing left at the grocery store was really expensive dark chocolate that makes little kids ...

In the meantime
I'm working on a huge Halloween post that should take me most of the day to put together (in between feeding and cuddling Marlo), but here's the sunset from last night. Had to share it. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Photo © Armstrong Media, LLC. All ...

Featured community question
I found this question from Becky O a little difficult to answer at first, and of course I had to keep pushing "never trust a man with two first names" out of my brain. Because that's just a dumb rule to live by. Because come on. CLIVE OWEN. I would trust him with my everything. by dooce ...

Lils
This is Lily, Katey's six-month-old, just another member of our Wackadoo Clan. She is now crawling, sitting up, and on the verge of pulling herself into a standing position. And do you see that face? We're all doomed. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Photo © ...

Wherein I'm just begging you to judge me
Leta and I enter her room after eating breakfast, and because I haven't slept in several days I forget the structure that we've implemented in order to get her to focus her attention on tasks that need to be completed before school. Recently we've been making a game out of getting dressed, ...

Centerfold
This is one of the rejected shots from Chuck's photo spread in FHM. You should see the one where he's playing provocatively with a garden hose, OH MY. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Chuck © Armstrong Media, LLC. All rights reserved. Originally published by ...

The parents of Leta Armstrong
Because both Jon and I work from home we don't ever really get dressed up for anything. Especially with a newborn around. Parent-teacher conferences at Leta's school happened a few weeks ago, and for the first time in I don't remember when both Jon and I got showered and proper at the same ...

A super special secret something!
Today is one huge, action-packed, hell of a day here at the Blurbodoocery! And look, not even two sentences in, and I'm going to go on a tangent: if you're going to start a small business — let's say an S Corp or an LLC — and you're brainstorming ideas for a name, you might want to cross off ...

Ink + Wit 2010 Calendar
It's calendar purchasing season again (and yes! for those of you who have asked, there will indeed be a 2010 Chuck Calendar, look for it in the next couple of weeks), and I fell in love when I saw this letterpress calendar from Ink + Wit. The illustrations are so delicately adorable, and I ...

Forever a family of four
Where do I begin. Wait, let me check and see if I've had enough coffee... oh you shut it. I've already admitted that I continue to drink coffee while nursing. Just don't tell my mom about all that Mountain Dew. She'd FLIP. So a few months ago, I'd say the morning we brought Marlo home, I told ...

Tub of chub
The other night we had my mother, stepfather, and my assistant Katey over for dinner, and dessert was bathing both Katey's baby Lily and Marlo in our relatively small kitchen sink. Wait until you see the video. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Photo © ...

And here we go
It snowed almost four inches here yesterday. And it's not even Halloween yet. It's like last year when Costco started putting out Christmas decorations before Labor Day, and I was all, COSTCO, TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING. Utah is not joking. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by ...

On overcoming phobias
A couple of weeks ago when I was cleaning out my closet I found the black rubber tarantula that I bought several years ago in an attempt to scare Jon. He's been featured here many times ( here , here , and most prominently here ), so I think at this point he deserves a name. Everyone, meet ...

Wintering
When Leta realized that it was snowing this morning she couldn't wait to get dressed and put on her new gloves and scarf. Jon was the one taking her to school this morning, and as Leta and I sat on the couch waiting for him to finish brushing his teeth she got a little worried. "What if Daddy ...

Title Track dog duvet
I am absolutely in love with this idea: take a mesh sack , fill it with old clothing and sheets and pillows that you would have normally just thrown out (in this case a large number of cotton pants that I will not ever fit into again after giving birth to the second child, also, several ragged ...

Do Not Resuscitate
That's what the animal on top of Jon's head has requested should it suffer cardiac arrest. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Photo © Armstrong Media, LLC. All rights reserved. Originally published by Heather B. Armstrong for dooce.com as Do Not Resuscitate . ...

Gone are the days of the snooze button
After a few discombobulating hiccups (whoever taught my baby to roll over? MINUS TEN POINTS FOR YOU), we've finally transitioned Marlo into a regular nighttime routine. It's not exactly perfect because she can barely make it to 6PM and then she's done. Kaput. Like she's been studying for that ...

PantsHat
Continuing the tradition of repurposing clothing (see Chuck here and Leta here ). We've got to teach her early that innovation is very important. Especially in fashion. click image above to see the photo on dooce.com by dooce in Daily Photo © Armstrong Media, LLC. All rights reserved. ...

Small clutch and wristlet
Things with my diaper bag have gotten a little out of hand as mountains of wipes and hand sanitizer and burp clothes erupt at the seams. So I was looking for something small that I could shove my wallet and iPhone into when I run quick errands without the baby so that I don't have to lug that ...
