We have dark circles under our eyes… We yawn during the day… We have to hit the snooze button three times before dragging ourselves out of bed. Well of course, you say. You’re parents of an 11-month old! Au contraire. We are addicted to the Olympics. Now before I get…
On February 1st, Jakey and I were playing a little game of Pineapple Upside Down Jake while waiting for the bus. Here comes his third tooth! Pretty soon he’ll look like this…
When Jakey is getting into trouble I like to say: Jacob James Patrick Terra Fucillo! James tries to say: Jacob Jaimie Suzanne Purnell Fucillo! His just doesn’t roll of your tongue as well as mine…
Here we go with the top hits of the nation this week on Jakey’s Top 40, the best-selling and most-played songs from San Jose to South San Francisco, from Canada to Mexico. This is Jakey Jakesmom in Mommywood, California. In the next three minutes, we’ll count down the 5 most…

Today is the best day of my life. Okay, that might be over exaggerating, but it’s definitely up there. The first wash cycle has just finished on our brand new Bosch dishwasher. James came home to Jaimie singing a little song, doing a little dance, and generally putting on a…
We had to pare down our card this year to make it fit, so here’s the full version with a few extras that didn’t make it onto the hard copy! We’re list people. If you’ve received any of our past cards, you’ve noticed we like to commemorate the holidays with…
So today is the last day of Jake’s very first Christmas vacation. I’m not sure he relished it as much as he should have… Yes he slept in a couple of times. Yes he enjoyed some Christmas cookies and other indulgences. But really, it didn’t seem like he relaxed at…
