Mom to Bee

Wow. That is all I have to say about today’s song title. Wow. And awesome. Okay, those are the TWO things I want to say about today’s song title. Wow, awesome, and who the fuck are Alice Donut? Okay, there are THREE things I wanted to say about today’s song title… Anywho, for those of [...]

Is anyone else counting the days until this craptastic Seattle weather gets all sunny and summer-like? Last year was our first summer in the new house and it was so much fun having pool parties in the back yard with the neighborhood kids. The only problem? This year, I’m kind of obsessed with making the [...]

This last Saturday, Mr. Bee and I went on one our infamous date nights. Well, they actually aren’t that infamous or famous even. It just sounds much more impressive when I start the post out all flashy and whatnot. So did we run off to Vegas or have dinner in a Michelin-starred restaurant? Nope. We [...]

And by “horse”, I mean “baby”. Duh. Exactly one week from today, The Bee Family (meaning me) will get all jellied up and have a ultrasound wand shoved unceremoniously in to my abdomen to determine if the baby is retarded is a Cletus or a Peaches. Oh, did I not tell you about “Peaches”? As [...]

This past weekend, I got some much-needed girlfriend time out at a local shopping center.

Since it was Biggest Loser Night, special preparations had to be made. Sure, some of you would make a special healthy snack of tofu or celery or whatever the [...]

As any mom can tell you, pregnancy comes along with a bunch of good and bad things: Good: a beautiful (one would hope) baby Bad: a blown-out vagina Good: awesome boobs Bad: a belly that rivals Homer Simpson’s Good: the ability to eat anything you want without judgment Bad: the ability to smell everything in [...]

Lately it seems like television has been full of characters that remind me of my family, maybe not exactly but enough for me (and Mr. Bee) to say “Dude. You totally have to save this on the TiVo to blog about it.” Here are some of those moments as recorded crappily on my digital camera [...]

The other night, Bee started coming down with a little bit of a cold. When Mr. Bee and I checked on her in her room, she was just the most pitiful little thing, whimpering and half-awake. We knew immediately that she would need to sleep in our bed with us. And by “immediately” I mean [...]
