Unearthed: Selfie with a 4-month-old

It seems like we've been on the road more than we've been at home lately, which means I'm once again flush with raw content but buried too far under laundry and other travel detritus to get much posted.

In the meantime, I'm sharing a photo I took of Cricket and me 2.5 years ago when she was 4 months old. I love it because—despite the fact that she wasn't yet talking—her expression says it all: "Mom, you're so embarrassing!" Yes. Yes, I am.

Over the next several weeks, I'll be posting a few DIY projects, tips for flying with young kids and photos from our recent trips to Philadelphia and Minneapolis. I've got my work cut out for me...
