It might be a liiittle early to start planning, but James\u2019 first birthday is coming up in early September and I can\u2019t help but think about themes for the party. What are his favorite things?<\/em> Dogs, swimming, books\u2026Daniel told me he had the perfect idea but that he couldn\u2019t tell me about it or it wouldn’t work, so of course I pressed until he told me, \u201cThe theme would be ‘mumma,’ because you\u2019re his favorite thing, but I\u2019d have to plan it and execute it or you\u2019d just seem like a complete narcissist.\u201d Picture my face on balloons and napkins and a cake ha! (please send me your theme ideas :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big One<\/a>
I pick and choose which episodes I listen to, but it’s interesting and slightly terrifying to hear about the earthquake that’s due to hit California any time now. Here are the show’s details:
