Stephanie Says: December 2011
http://www.stephaniesays.net/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Steph's 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. Since tons of people. Have requested a gift guide this year, I thought I'd give it a whirl. I too get tired of the "for him for her" gift guides I find in every paper and magazine that all suggest buying my brother a marshmellow shooter or my husband R2D2 salt and pepper shakers (although they would probably both like those items. Moving on). The Haband Flare Hair Visor. Jersey Shore Christmas Ornatments. When I think of Christmas, I think of s...

reasons the terrorists hate us – turducken | Nine Months to Life
https://jamesford.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/reasons-the-terrorists-hate-us-turducken
Engaged… Made It So. Who Is This Guy? Nine Months to Life. Confessions of an Amateur Father. Reasons the terrorists hate us – turducken. Having just survived the six week celebration of capitalism and gluttony known as “The Holidays,” I’d like to point out something disturbing I found existed a few years ago. Someone once caught my fat ass ordering potato wedges and mashed potatoes as my side dished at Lee’s Famous Chicken and completely called me out on it… and I had it coming. The holidays should be ab...

Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Steph's pre-adoption muscle building workout. I really wish we had done this. It is tough for even a relatively fit person go straight to the 20 pounder, so, if you are adopting an older baby or toddler (or expecting a particularly large newborn) do yourself a favor and start building up the needed muscles now, lest you, like us, finish each day feeling like you ran a marathon over a mountain range. 3 Stand in line with the bag for four hours. 5 At home. Put the bag of sand i...

Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Again with the primates. Okay, I know I've posted before about fake baby primates. And I'm guessing I will continue to do so as long as such a thing is for sale. I found this ad for "Little Umi" in the Sunday circular. I pulled her out and sat her on my dining room table so she was right next my morning paper today when I read this article "Study: Belligerent chimp proves animals can plan for the future.". What is it with us and the chimps? Can't we just leave them alone already?

http://www.stephaniesays.net/2008/09/smart-ass-suck-up-seven-year-old.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Smart-Ass, Suck-up, Seven Year Old. I went through my cedar chest today and found these assignments from first grade. I also found a love letter to Jesus and a vampire story I wrote when I was six (look out Stephenie Meyer! I think it’s funny to see the little seedlings of myself in here. A little bit smart-ass, a little bit suck-up and a dream to play in the major leagues (it could still happen.). 1 When I feel well, I… PLAY. 2 When I do not feel well I…REST. I’m sure...

Stephanie Says: May 2011
http://www.stephaniesays.net/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Last year on Mother's Day I landed in Moscow amidst flower wreaths and fireworks. The Russians were celebrating Victory Day, commemorating their triumph over the Nazis in World War Two. The streets were crowded with celebrations, strung with lights and draped in banners declaring VICTORY! Last Mother's Day, I checked into a hotel with toys and baby food but no baby. This Mother's Day it has been nearly a year that we've had a mischevious little monkey in our house. I've learned t...

Monday, May 17, 2010. First week on the job. It's true there are no words to adequately describe all the things we've been feeling and experiencing this past week, but I'll try. First and foremost is overjoyed. A simple act like watching Danny feed Andre macaroni can move me to tears. So here's my first week job evaluation. I'm pretty sure Andre will renew my contract as mom, I'll let you know. Day 1, Tuesday:. We lay in bed wondering when he's going to wake up so we can snuggle him more. He smiles a...

Stephanie Says: A Public Service Announcement pertaining to toys that come alive at night.
http://www.stephaniesays.net/2009/01/public-service-announcement-pertaining.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. A Public Service Announcement pertaining to toys that come alive at night. This "My Twinn (the just-like-me doll)" catalog was brought to my attention by my friend Lisa (she’s an actual friend, not a doll). And after thumbing through it I felt obliged to reiterate a very important point to my readers: These kinds of dolls are deadly and should never, ever, be allowed into your home. They will roam your darkened hallways the second you close your eyes. 3 Strangulation by garland...

Friday, November 26, 2010. Steph's Annual Holiday Shopping Guide. I've been neglecting you. I hope you'll accept my deepest apology (actually I hope you'll accept just a regular apology because I should save the really serious ones in case I do something really dumb.). According to the product description, "it locates and calculates supportive energy fields quickly and easily to align your physical surroundings to help manifest your goals and intentions." For instance, if your goal is to save money, ...
