Dear Dr. Nerd Love, Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I know you have addressed the issue of “friend zone” (and that it’s not really a thing). I completely understand that. I recently started hanging out with a guy who we instantly connected and started spending time together multiple times a week and we’re in contact at various times throughout the day (quick phone call or text). I’d say he definitely initiated making plans more than I did and after about a month or so we were hanging out on a daily basis. The thing was this he had never once made a move or asked me to stay over. I found this rather odd...
Timely nuggets of information and ideas we want to share with you. I have a new favorite crime series! It is in French, so if you don’t speak French and hate subtitles, move along to my next item. Paris Murders is in its fourth season, which thrills me because I have so many left to watch! The main character is a quirky young woman who is called a police profiler in reviews, but I think of her as either a forensic psychologist or a criminologist. She works with Detective Rocher in the Paris homicide division to solve the most difficult cases. It has enough suspense but not too much, and Chloe Saint-Laurent, the main character is amusingly fey. It is...

This year, I crossed off my Valentine’s Day gifts early because Mazzy is newly obsessed with Build-a-Bear. There is a pink frog she HAD TO HAVE, complete with a “Toadally Cute” red t-shirt. We’d never been to Build-a-Bear before, so it was fun to see my big kids get excited about something so innocent. Anyone else have older kids with stuffed animal obsessions? I was never that big on Valentine’s Day when I was younger (too many years of being single), but I love getting Valentine’s Day gifts for my kids. I think it’s because, unlike the more major holidays, there are no expectations. I usually put together something small and fun and the kids are just thrilled to receive...
