Spotted!

Posted on October 11, 2011 by BrassyDel

Hello Brassy Pals, and welcome to any new friends coming over from Jenny on the Spot today! Just a quick note that I have a guest post up at JotS today, and it has sparkles, so go check it out!

Sometimes I want to quit. No, scratch that. Sometimes I think I should quit. Quit blogging. Quit drawing. Quit writing. Because if I did, then I would have more time to focus on my family, on my kids while they are this little. Time to focus on those priorities without being distracting by making time to stick to an update…

The Pits

Posted on October 3, 2011 by BrassyDel

Today I am in the pits. You know what I mean, right? We’ve probably all been there before, though some of us are racking up those frequent guest points faster than others. The pits are metaphorical. Duh. They’re that place you send yourself, when you’re feeling down, and then you feel bad about yourself for feeling down. Or you indulge…

Babywaker

Posted on September 26, 2011 by BrassyDel

On occasion, Tank’s behaviour will earn him an entire litany of insulting names. As is customary, the worst name comes last: Baby-waker. Pixie has always been a poor sleeper. She has difficulty falling asleep and wakes at the smallest sounds and minor interruptions. She sleeps very lightly, just like her father. She did not sleep through the night until 11…

Where Are They Now?

Posted on September 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

Apparently, it is now Autumn. And almost October. Just yesterday? The middle of August. I have no idea where those last few weeks went. Somewhere in there, Chappy got bigger. Heck, even Pixie has grown a little (no, I’m sure she has! Maybe?). Chappy started crawling, then proceeded swiftly to sitting up by himself, and then instantly to pulling himself…

Five Months

Posted on September 13, 2011 by BrassyDel

I can’t believe Chappy is already five months old! Why, just earlier this week the gal cutting my fabulous hair asked me when my baby was due. Yeah. I think I have a date with a Jillian Michaels DVD soon. You know, as soon as I can get these kids to sleep on a schedule conducive to, uh, anything at…

He Doesn’t Know it’s not Fall Yet

Posted on August 26, 2011 by BrassyDel

Pumpkins traditionally herald the beginning the Fall, thanks to their nature as a seasonal vegetable. They are also simply extremely awesome. While it isn’t fall yet, it is time for Chappy, aka Chappy McChappersons (or, when relevant, Poopy McPoopersons), to start trying out some solid food. And by “solid” I mean “mostly-liquid mush”. If I’d had a pumpkin on hand,…

Spike Sketches (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

Posted on August 23, 2011 by BrassyDel

If you haven’t watched any My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (the “new” MLP series), then you are seriously missing out. Normally, I am not into ponies, or horses. I’ve joked that the only ponies I care about are under a hood, but even that is hyperbolic since I love Top Gear, but don’t really care much about cars. Anyway,…

Shape Ups

Posted on August 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’m sorry, guys: this is another post about shoes. Look, I said I was sorry! Anway, these aren’t silly, frilly, shiny, toe-mashing, achy-foot-making, shoes. These are my Sketcher’s Shape Ups, and I love them. I’ve been reading about these suckers for awhile, and I finally broke down recently and bought them. Of course, I paid $80 for them and just…
