    My Little Buffalo

A Year in Review.

Nate & I have never been huge New Year’s Eve folks.  I have never been one to make resolutions, or feel the need to celebrate the turning of one day or year.  These days, I could not stay awake until midnight if someone paid me.  (okay, maybe if I was paid.  Pampers are expensive)  But [...]

Dear child of mine,

You just ate 6 wonderful ounces & are deliciously full.  You are dry.  You have been awake since 7am, with the exception of a 30 minute snooze.  You are snuggled into your swing with a fat cozy blanket by the fire.  PLEASE STOP SCREAMING AND GO TO SLEEP. A child your age should not have [...]

I think I should invest in some Bose sound-blocking headphones.

We had an awesome week following the switch to soy formula & Prilosec.  He was content, smiling, happy.  I was thisclose to writing a post about how my ovaries were itching to procreate again (OH MY GOD).  But now he’s back to screaming his bloody head off every waking moment.  Refusing the bottle because he’s [...]

I promise, I'm not going to continue to be all I-hate-my-body emo for much longer.

We’ll get back to tales of Harrison, McFatty Monday is starting with the New Year, & I am pretty sure that once I go back to work, you’ll be begging me to stop writing.  Until then, this is my current mental status, like it or not (I, personally, loathe it).  I’ve had a few people [...]

If you have a business…

A business, an Etsy shop, a forum, whatever.  & you’d like to try a little more exposure, email me at blairbear111@gmail.com Opportunity for free sponsorship, baby.

Someone should probably nominate me for a date with Clinton & Stacy.

You know those folks that have an incredibly innate, natural, check-out-how-cool-&-creative-I-am style about them? I am so NOT one of those people.  On the other hand, if I have any redeeming quality, it is probably my lack of denial over my lack of style ability.  It took me until I was well out of college [...]

I was in Battle of the Books in 6th grade, but there is no battle like Blair vs. Pooh Bear baby books.

ahhh, the “baby book.”   Is there any psychosis in third tri (other than a Labor Watch) quite like discovering the perfect baby book?  I think not.  It was sometime in July that the thought came upon me over burritos lunch at my desk — OH MY GOD, I DON’T HAVE A BABY BOOK!! In [...]

A baby changes everything…

My whole life is turned around I was lost, but now I’m found A baby changes everything… ~Faith Hill Today, we celebrate the birth of our Savior while sharing the magic of our son’s first Christmas.   Always remembering that while Harrison changed our lives, Jesus changed the world. Merry Christmas, from our family to [...]

I was supposed to write this on Dec. 13th #bestof09

So Gwen Bell is fabulous.  No, really.  She astounds me in the way that other bloggers & social networking divas who do this for a living (more on that later, hopefully in 2010) astound & amaze me.  I write because I love it.  I write because strangely, people enjoy reading my inane ramblings regarding my sex [...]

Do those electric dog fences work on humans to set boundaries, too? (Guest blog for jennepper.com)

(copied as the guest blog entry from Maybe If You Just Relax) So. This is awkward.  I don’t even know where to begin.  Normally, in my own world of internets best known as The Heir to Blair, I begin with a tale, or a picture, or even a long drawn out “Y’ALL WILL NOT BELIEVE [...]
