Photo of the Day: Crying? Allowed.

In this case it was because her dad put ice in her root beer and she wanted no ice.

I know. She has abusive parents.

Still, if she wants to cry, probably because it was not HER birthday party, that's okay. Sometimes you just feel like it, you know?

Photo of the Day: Best Looking Kids EVAR

Is it just me, or do I have the best looking kids and their friends on the planet? Really, I don't want to make you feel bad or anything but I know that Gap or Abercrombie for Kids are going to be calling me like any day.

Photo of the Day: My daughter Olivia

My daughter Olivia, last summer.

I love this 85 lens. Like, really love it. This is when I first got it and was still experimenting. I feel like the longer I've had it, the better I've gotten with it, but it's pretty awesome straight out of the box too. <3

Happy Birthday Hazel!

I took photos of our little party for Hazel on April 1, but it was kind of a fail. The walls in that house are such a weird color for white balance, it was dark, there are all kinds of different lights, insert more excuses here, etc.

Entering Tweendom, or clothes money = the best thing evar.

justice-girls-birthday-money-olivia

It's official. She spent her birthday money on clothes.

I've entered into a new era. My newly 10-year-old daughter loves Justice. She even uses a lot of her computer time browsing the Justice website. In case you didn't know, Justice is a girls' clothing store owned by a company called Tween Brands, Inc. Need I say more?

Happy 5th Birthday Hazel!

Five years of Sizzle! . . . → Read More: Happy 5th Birthday Hazel!

5 years ago, my daughter Hazel was born, and I was born a mother again.

This is long, so long, but I wanted to share. I cannot believe it has been five years since this day. What a day it was. And what a beautiful girl my Hazel is today. (More on that later.) For now, here's the story of how she arrived. For backstory, Bill is my ex-husband, Cheryl was a friend, I was a trained doula and had plans to be a certified nurse midwife, the baby had been breech for the last several weeks despite my best efforts to get her to turn on her own, and I was rapidly developing serious pre-eclampsia.
