Dr. Blondie: National Book Festival
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013/09/national-book-festival.html
About Dr. Blondie. Thursday, September 19, 2013. With this year's National Book Festival. Occurring only four days after Mason's birthday, I've barely had time to think about which authors. I'd love to see this year other than Veronica Roth. At 4 PM on Saturday. But let's face it- with my two-year-old in tow, how many authors could I possibly see anyway? Instead, I'll be standing in line with Mason to visit with characters from shows on PBS KIDS. And Mason's pure joy at meeting Curious George. A secret t...

Dr. Blondie: choo choos
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013/09/choo-choos.html
About Dr. Blondie. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. A few weeks ago, we discovered a gem only a few blocks from our home- an easily accessible gargantuan platform behind a nondescript office building that overlooks the train yard at Union Station. We come and go as the trains come and go. Even in between rush hours, there's still plenty of activity to keep a little train lover entertained. Aimee @ Smiling Mama. September 10, 2013 at 10:08 AM.

Dr. Blondie: September 2013
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
About Dr. Blondie. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Maybe those years burned me out on party planning. For each of Mason's birthdays, I've tried to get into throwing a humdinger of a themed, matchy matchy party, but I've been surprised at and even discouraged by my reluctance. I admire other children's cutesy parties, but I usually leave them longing to err on the side of simplicity for my boy. Why is that? For Mason's first birthday, I put substantial work into creating a monthly picture banner. I'd bet my...

Dr. Blondie: celebrations
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2012/09/celebrations.html
About Dr. Blondie. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. I've been nervous about the first birthday festivities since before Mason arrived. The politics of when, where, what, and who can be overwhelming. Thankfully, it all worked out fine and we've been celebrating Mason's birthday for weeks now. The grandparents each had their " birthday. It was a beautiful day, so the party, and the inevitable mess, remained outside. What a blessing to have a September baby! Love the idea of the pictures! Were doing a joint p...

Dr. Blondie: April 2013
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
About Dr. Blondie. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Mason made it 19 months and 3 days before getting his first haircut- not bad! BEFORE: armed with thumb and blankie. DURING: sobbing and as stiff as a board with fear, which made it easier for Hanna to get the job done quickly. Did the first haircut traumatize your little one, as it did mine? How long did you put off that first haircut? Monday, April 22, 2013. Time for a haircut. Friday, April 19, 2013. Except for Mason's recurrent vomiting. Which happened AGA...

Dr. Blondie: May 2013
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
About Dr. Blondie. Thursday, May 30, 2013. I am so focused on the many practical uses of herbs that I overlook their beauty when they bloom. Now would be a good time to assemble and surprise friends with beautiful, flowering bouquets of herbs. Who would like one? Tuesday, May 28, 2013. These roses will knock me out. Friday, May 24, 2013. Mason and I have been to Canal Park three times in the past week. Yes, it's that good. (And it's close to where we live, which helps.). Thursday, May 23, 2013. Soon afte...

Dr. Blondie: June 2013
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
About Dr. Blondie. Thursday, June 27, 2013. For the past week, I've been laboring over saving Blue, my new pet name for my neighbor Bea's hydrangea bush. The developer who bought her house said I could have it! I think I've killed it by trying to dig, split, and transfer it in late June. I keep telling myself that the developer was going to get rid of it anyway- I had nothing to lose. But sadly, I feel like I have lost. I had envisioned those perfect blue blossoms. Once Brad got the bush out of the groun...

Dr. Blondie: little friends
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013/10/little-friends.html
About Dr. Blondie. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Mason's been calling several of his friends by name for a few months now, but it's only been in the last month or so that he's started saying the word "friend", quickly followed by the word "fun". What on earth will I do with myself? Last year's play group was probably more fun for me than Mason, as I enjoyed the regular weekly time hanging out with women I might not otherwise would have. But these kids are growing up. They don't need all the mommies...My gr...

About Dr. Blondie. Tuesday, October 1, 2013. My kitchen has a new addition. Mason's birthday present of a play kitchen with (faux) stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and cherry wood cabinets looks more hip than anything in my kitchen! What's the most complicated toy you have put together? How long did it take you? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. Gone with the Wind.

Dr. Blondie: October 2013
http://dr-blondie.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
About Dr. Blondie. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Before the government shut down, Mason and I ventured to the Museum of Natural History's Butterfly Pavilion. A fee-based, interactive experience with live butterflies. Now you all know that I detest paying admission fees in a city where myriad free activities abound, so we went on a Tuesday, when admission is free. And let me tell you, for a free outing, it was totally worth it! Have you been to this exhibit? What did you think? Thursday, October 10, 2013.
