We’re having a blast on our beach trip to Bald Head! We’ve celebrated the birthdays of Matt and America; eaten lots of seafood, chips, and ice cream, and my favorite, slept nine hours a night. …

We had a super relaxing weekeind over here. How about you? I was craving takeout on Friday, but Matt’s face was so sad when I suggested we skip pizza, that I went out and bought olives and Matt threw together a pizza. It was a chilly day and red wine sounded delightful. Matt and I have been watching the new Queer Eye and enjoyed two episodes with dinner. We’re trying so hard to go to sleep earlier, but ended up…
Happy summer! We had a lovely weekend of Mexican food, relaxation, and celebrating Em’s dad at Brooklyn Brewery. I think it’s kinda funny that we eat Mexican food so much since leaving Dallas – it’s obviously not as good as it is in Texas, but you can never go wrong with tequila and guac. As you may have seen on Instagram stories, Emerson had a big sleep regression/mental leap and was skipping naps, scared to be in her crib alone,…
I don’t know why I didn’t Google this earlier, but the 18-month sleep regression is very real. Reading a bunch of articles made me feel a lot better! There’s a permanent pool coming to Brooklyn Bridge Park! Can you believe my mom has a hole in her eye? A few important notes On Mental Ilness Cartoon Hangry is a real thing and Emerson is the worst hangry person. I found this blog post about reproductive health interesting. I bought a one-piece (well,…
We’re back form a whirlwind weekend in North Carolina for my 10 year college reunion. We had a great time, but man is traveling with Emerson getting more difficult. It’s not the actual plane ride, but disrupting her schedule, keeping her safe when she just wants to sprint everywhere, and getting her to sleep when she is stimulated by everything around her! On to the fun stuff! We rented a beautiful lake house with all of my girlfriends and their…
Organic/low sulfite wine – I mentioned in a previous post that I’m having more trouble with wine lately (like a whole day of being hungover after 1-2 glasses), and have tried some organic and no added sulfite wine. It’s making a huge difference! I don’t feel like I’ve been run over by a bus after wine, I just feel thirsty (or tipsy) like a normal person! Organic wines contain less than 10ppm natural sulfites and there are tons of great…
I’ve been thinking of buying a fun one-piece this year but just cannot find one that covers my behind. Why do designers assume that if one wants to cover part of her stomach that she must want to let her cheeks hang out?? Also, I’ve been trying on larges and extra larges and they still are too small. If you’re feeling generous, I’m obsessed with this organization and they are raising money for the many children you’ve probably heard about…
For once, the long weekend actually felt really long! I realized Matt hasn’t had a day off where we stayed in Brooklyn since Christmas, so it was wonderful to just relax at home for an extra day. Matt’s parents actually came up on Saturday, and we had so much fun showing them our new home. We spent Saturday morning going for a run and cleaning our apartment, and then we hit the promenade as soon as my in-laws arrived. It…
I’ve been really into J Crew Mercantile since I discovered it in Dallas. Matt and I stopped by the outlets last weekend and I snagged this dress plus sandals and earrings (I keep buying studs – will I be able to wear dangle earrings again soon?). Speaking of shopping, where can I buy good, white V-neck tees? I used to buy them at Target, but now they are that clingy, sheer fabric. I want a thick tee that won’t stick…
