The Baby’s Crate

Posted on June 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

There’s a lot of chaos ’round here most days, so we use a playpen to prevent the squishing of newborns. See? I do occasionally put the babies down! Anyway, Pixie sleeps in the playpen when we’re out at Grandma’s, Auntie’s, the bar, a friend’s house, etc. She’s old enough that she hasn’t been sat in there otherwise for quite a…

My Production Staff – Friday Photo

When I say that my life is full of crap, what I really mean is that my entire schedule is consumed by poop detail. THANKS GUYS.

I Love Other People’s Junk

Posted on May 25, 2011 by BrassyDel

A confession: I’m kind of a packrat. I try not to be, though! I try now to get rid of things that we don’t need, aren’t using, or are, y’know, broken. I have learned over the years that the odds of me fixing something that’s been sitting around for several months are slim. Same about using something “eventually“. I save…

Some days, this is the scene at my front window. Yes, she learned it by watching Tank.

Ow-side?

Posted on May 11, 2011 by BrassyDel

Ow-side? Ow-side? Ow-side? Dudes, I hear this ALL. DAY. Everyday. It is the sound of someone tiny, adorable, and partially coordinated wanting to go out. Fortunately, she’s too short to reach the regular round doorknobs just yet. We have several of the level-style doorknobs though and she can reach those. Can’t get them open just yet, but that’s just…

Calorie Counting for Chocoholics

Posted on May 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

As I’m approaching the 6-week “no more excuses not to exercise” postpartum mark, I revisited my DailyBurn account to start counting calories again. That very same day, I went out to run some errands and Target had Hershey’s Eggs on deep discount post-Easter clearance. So. You can imagine how calorie counting went after that. Just a hypothetical question: if I’m…

Momma’s Little Gamer – Friday Photo

Posted on April 29, 2011 by BrassyDel

This one is from just a couple of months ago. Pixie was watching her big cousins play on the Wii one day when my sister was helping me out while I was practically bed-ridden. I know it’s more common to say that she’s “Daddy’s Little Gamer,” but in this case that’s a Wii nunchuck, and Daddy (the Hubbles) hates the…

Future Fashionista

Posted on April 27, 2011 by BrassyDel

You may be aware that I am not the most innately feminine woman. If you see me looking like a proper lady, it is guaranteed that it is through some personal effort and sheer force of will. Then again, it took quite a bit of cajoling to get my mother to wear pearls with her dress suit on a…

All By Myself! Friday Photo

Posted on April 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

September 2010: I have several photos from this shoot, spanning maybe an hour or so of outdoor play time, which is awesome because it really jogs my memory of the whole thing. For example, I don’t have a photo of it specifically, but I know that before climbing up in that lawn chair all by her tiny little self, Pixie…

The Swimsuit Edition – Photo Friday

Posted on April 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

Blast from the past, looking forward to summer! This was Pixie’s first time “swimming,” and by swimming I really mean “playing in a swimsuit in a plastic tub of water in the backyard”. Regardless, she loved it. This picture kind of kills me now, because she’s pretty much still a baby here. Now she’s my toddler, and becoming a Big…
