Hello out there. I can’t believe it’s Emerson’s last week of school and summer is upon us. The 90 degree temperatures are here, but I don’t mind so much because the humidity is not. We had a relaxing Friday evening in – Em helped me make blondies for our neighborhood’s spring fling and was really into it. She’s helped me bake a couple of times, but I now I can trust her to stir and not eat everything in sight.…
Hello out there. I can’t believe our move is next month. I’m in that weird transition period where I don’t really know how I feel. I think I’m sad to leave and nervous for the logistics of moving. We’ve finally decided on a moving company (why do they all have horrible reviews?). Fingers crossed, we also have someone interested in taking over the last 1.5 months of our lease, which would be a huge relief. Matt and I are fitting…
Lots of celebrations taking place over here! My birthday is only 6 days after Emerson’s, which means we eat a lot of cake in the month of October. Since my parents helped us eat Emerson’s cake in just 24 hours, Matt got me another one for my day on the 18th. Em and I made an adventure out of going to pick up the cake at Clementine Bakery in Clinton Hill. I attempted to go for a run, but there…
Of summer that is. Anyone else tired after the weekend? I feel like we’re rushing to cram all of the fun into these last few weeks of summer. My in-laws came to visit from Maryland, so we were out and about all weekend; we did a ton of walking. Before they arrived, I took the ferry to Manhattan to meet Matt on Friday. We didn’t really have a plan, but ended up strolling to Tribeca and stumbling upon the 911…
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 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…
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,…
These Mondays come and go so quickly! We had a low-key weekend with all of the usual routines. Friday, we had a fantastic dinner with friends at Celestine, a swanky and romantic restaurant with incredible views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. We opted for the family style menu and all the food was wonderful. We had such a great time, and it was a treat to be out on the town. I think I woke up on the wrong…
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…
