Matt and I will celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary in a few weeks, so we thought it was a good time for our first getaway without baby big girl Emerson in tow. My parents came up on Thursday, and after a day of playgrounds and a little sight seeing on Friday, Matt and I took off for the Willowemoc Valley in upstate New York. Despite my excitement for a break, I was sad saying goodbye. I don’t know how…
Would you believe that I didn’t start eating pizza until I was in college?? I didn’t like red sauce as a child, and since there were no other kinds of pizza back then (well at least not in small town Hillsborough), I just didn’t eat it. When I got more adventuresome (ha, pizza is basic) in college, I become ravenous for pizza, realizing what I had been missing all those years. Fast forward to today, and we eat it almost…
I hope y’all had a nice weekend. And I hope those who have any relationship with motherhood were able to find some peace in yesterday’s holiday. I was talking to my doorman this morning, and he said his country just has a huge holiday to celebrate all women, but nothing for men. It’s funny because I was thinking yesterday felt more like husband’s day because Matt did so many nice things for me:) We had gorgeous weather in Brooklyn last…
Our weekend in Southampton was filled with delicious food, laughter, cocktails, and fresh air. Ashley and Bo have been great friends to us since we moved to Brooklyn, so it was fun to do a getaway with them and the babes. Not only do they like food as much as we do, but they like to cook much more than we do, and did a lot of the dirty work:) Highlights of the weekend included… bay breezes, our personal bartender…
How’s it going out there? Safe to say spring has arrived in most of the country? It went from zero to eighty over here and I’m loving it. I hate to be so weather obsessed, but it makes such a big difference in daily life. We’ve been out and about more, seeing flowers and boats and green, and going to bed so tired and content at the end of the day. I know I said this a few weeks ago,…
I exercise primarily because I love the way it makes me feel, but also because it melts stress away. I classify my stress into two different categories: 1. Anxiety stress where I’m worried about something happening to Emerson or that my IUD got lost inside my body (no, it was just my spleen hurting when I had mono), or fear that our president will start WW III. For this type of stress, there is no better solution than slow flow…
Heeyyy, I spent the week down in North Carolina, and I just couldn’t get over how green it is. And we had bright blue skies Monday-Saturday. Aside from two flight cancellations, a crying baby who didn’t want me on the phone and computer, and waiting all day to figure out my plans, the actual solo plane ride went well. We got on an 8:30pm flight, and Emerson stayed up until we landed at 10pm, and then finally feel asleep. Tuesday,…
Teeny Tiny Sound Machine – this is a mini sound machine that turns into a blue tooth speaker. I got it for breathing issues we’re having in the bedroom (haha), and the sound is amazing. I use the fan setting and it reminds me of the huge window fans from my childhood. I also plan to use it when we travel, so we don’t have to tie up our phones for Emerson’s white noise Lantana hummus – I’ve tired the…
I feel like my hair has gotten so dark since giving birth, and highlights no longer last more than 6 weeks. Did this happen to anyone else? Maybe I’m just old and it has nothing to do with pregnancy. Now that Emerson eats three meals a day plus snacks, I feel like we’re always out of food. I can’t imagine what it’d be like with a 16-year-old boy. I need to get back into preparing energy balls and snacks. Does…
