A few shots from our trip. We’ve been sleeping, biking, strolling, basking in sunshine, reading, touring, desserting, drinking fruity drinks, and thawing out. Loving Key West!!…

Now that I’m a year+ into this whole baby thing, I wanted to compile a list of the gear that we can’t live without. Uppababy Cruz stroller – I’ve tried the Nuna Tavo, Maclaren umbrellas, and BOB (which I love for running) and nothing beats the features and maneuverability of the Cruz. Back when I was loading it in and out of the car, it was super easy to fold, relatively light weight, and so easy to use with the…
We have done so many fun things lately! Last week, we had an excuse to do a little mid-week exploring, as Matt’s sister was in town for work. We took Emerson to DeKalb Market Hall for lunch. I had a spicy thai crepe and it was such a treat! I need to go back because there are so many more things I want to try. Though it was chilly, we also got coffee and enjoyed a nice stroll along the…
Hershel backpack – I received this at my family’s secret Santa exchange over Christmas, and have liked using it in place of my usual diaper bag. Facebook moms group – there’s a fabulous group here in Brooklyn and it has been SOO helpful for getting info. Bon Iver – the best mellow background music for winter, cooking, wine-drinking and such. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara – I got this as a free sample at Sephora and like that it makes…
The one thing that has been really nice about this big life change is that it’s given me a chance to reflect – that first year of being a mom plus working and making the decision to jump ship left me feeling like I couldn’t think clearly. Now, I have lots of [semi] alone time on my hands! Moving to a big city has made me reminisce about our time in Boston, and leaving Dallas has made me think a…
Welcome to my open house. I’ll start with Emerson’s room – it’s a bit packed, as we wanted to bring our fold-out couch. The light in this room is hard to capture, but it’s so white and bright! I love our bedroom – it’s small and simple with a pleasant view in the morning. Still need to figure out where to hang those pics. The hallway leads from the living/dining area to the two bedrooms. We’re using it for storage…
-I’m a real northerner now, as I thought the 40 degree weather we had yesterday was practically beach weather. -Who’s with me that January is the worst month? I feel like it’s S-L-O-W-L-Y dragging by. -I know there are fabulous restaurants here, but I really miss Dallas restaurants – they are so big and new and everything is indoor-outdoor. Brooklyn is full of adorable hole-in-the-wall places that are not so great for strollers, high chairs, or small beings that make…
When did Emerson become a toddler? We’re finally starting to get into a rhythm. Here’s a peek into our new life in Brooklyn: 7:25 – I wake up when Matt gets in the shower and rejoice that we’re in the 7’s. Emerson has been waking up at 6 the past two weeks, and I’m so thankful for the extra sleep. A few minutes later, I hear Em and Matt goes to get her while I make tea and peanut butter-ize…
It’s funny, thinking back to last year, I remember being a bit disappointed I couldn’t go out to a fancy restaurant and drink lots of cocktails for NYE. This year? I was so excited for a night on the couch with Matt. I planned the menu and Matt went and got all the groceries on Saturday, so we could relax and enjoy Sunday a bit more. I joined the Y last week, so I checked out a total body conditioning…
