-I spent the whole year waiting for it to warm up, and now I’m very excited for some cooler temps. I think fall in New York is going to be amazing. Also, the mosquitos seemed to have finally arrived at the park. -I’ve taken Emerson to check out two preschool prep/two’s programs for the fall. She LOVES it, but I’m already sad that she’s grown up and off to school. -I finally got a good Stitchfix (<–my discount link)! I liked…
Despite hours in the car and boatloads of New York traffic, we had a terrific weekend in Boston. It’s hard to believe we moved from Boston in 2011, and have only been back once! I wish we could have spent a whole week there, visiting the restaurants and our old hood, but we had people to see! We visited friends from grad school up in Winchester on Thursday and Friday, and then friends from Davidson in Boston on Saturday. Both…
Bermuda. Easy to get to from the east coast for a long weekend, and prices are a bit more reasonable in the fall. Plus, hurricanes are slightly less likely than they are in the Caribbean and it’s a fast trip home if one is heading that way. Oh, and it’s gorgeous and a good way to forget that winter is coming. Greenport, Long Island. We took a trip here in the spring, but I’d love to go back in the…
TJ’s Green Goddess Salad Dressing – I’m the world’s pickiest when it comes to store bought salad dressing. The only other one I’ve ever liked was this lemon dressing from Whole Foods. But I like this one!! And it’s cheap and pretty healthy, so this is a win. Synergy 48oz kombucha – This isn’t really a new discovery, but more of a realization that this huge kombucha is only $8.99 and it’s a way better value that the small ones.…
Thanks for your post ideas and questions! I figured I’d address them all at once in a Q & A format: I would be interested in your fitness routine now that you’re a mom. Throughout my pregnancy and the first year of Emerson’s life, I mostly did Popsugar Fitness videos at home (HIIT style and weight lifting) and went to the gym for yoga, barre, or HIIT maybe once a week. I had an awesome space to work out in…
7:30 – I wake up and hear Emerson next door. Matt gets her up and she runs around the house until I get out of bed 7:40 – We all have breakfast – Em has yogurt and banana, I have oatmeal with peanut butter, and Matt snacks and has yogurt while packing his lunch and trying to get out the door. 7:50 – Matt leaves and Em gets upset. She’s learning how to open our apartment door (and unfortunately, it…
-We’ve been using the ferry system to get around sometimes and it’s soooo much more enjoyable than the subway. Living by the water is fabulous in the summer and I love being able to hop on a boat! -Em is just in the best stage right now and her personality is cuter than ever before. She’s been happy, taking great naps, and so talkative and hilarious. Also, she had her first kiss yesterday when our [16-month-old] neighbor walked up to…
We had a glorious summer weekend in New York. Friday, Matt was able to leave work a bit early, so we made the spontaneous decision to explore Battery Park. I took the ferry over from Brooklyn and we met up on Wall St. We enjoyed walking along the water and hanging out on the grass before riding the coolest carousel I’ve ever seen! The sea glass carousel has beautiful fish that go up and down and also rotate on the…
Well that was the fastest beach trip I can ever remember. As much as I love going on vacation, I also love returning to my own home and routines. I got so much rest on our trip to Bald Head (slept 8-9 hours and only worked out twice), so I’m feeling restored and ready to mom full-time again. Emerson has also gifted me with long naps and sleeping in until almost 8 since we’ve been home! With the exception of…
