Hello Kitty Pirate Princess Cake
This year for my daughter’s fourth birthday she requested a Hello Kitty Pirate Princess birthday cake. You just have to know our daughter to know that this isn’t a weird request. Last year she asked for a 3D triceratops dinosaur cake. Purple. Instead of doing what normal parents do–pay someone to make the weird cake more »
Daughter: Today You Are Four
Dear Ella: It’s your fourth birthday and I can’t believe it. I know it’s so cliche to say that, but it’s true. Something happens when you have a child that turns it up to “11″ on the time warp machine. Your life becomes flashes, glimpses of memories that you recall with a smile or from more »
Chomper cutters and birthday beat-downs
Tuesday was E’s real birth date, so we bit the bullet and took her to the one place that she loves and the husband and I both loathe–the kids’ place where you eat (so called) pizza and play games. (It starts with a name and ends with something very bad for lactose intolerant people.) I really more »

Dear Ella, On this date three years ago, you came into our world. It should’ve been a shock since you were one month ahead of your due date, but it wasn’t. I knew you would always do what you wanted, on your own time. You are, after all, my daughter. It sounds trite to say more »

You may (or may not) remember that E requested a dinosaur theme and that I spent days and days of my precious time trying to find non-scary, semi-girlie dinosaur invitations instead of watching reality television or talking about important stuff like lion tacos on Twitter. Anyway. As with more »
Strike three for third birthday
E will turn three in February. This means one of my favorite times–PARTY PLANNING! (In case you missed it, I was so meant to be a party planner/event hostess…and get paid…a lot of money. I’m for hire if you want. I can make your party fab!) (Digress.) For E’s first year, we had a beautiful, brightly-colored party more »
