-Emerson is getting so into performing and reenacting scenes from movies that I think I need to send her to a school for the performing arts! -Sleeping on my stomach again is absolutely delightful. -I am loving having hot yoga back in my life. It’s such an amazing practice for me right now – although finding the time to go/getting out the door is hard. -Avery is growing up so fast! I can’t get over how smiley she is in…
-There’s a lot I forgot about how hard postpartum recovery period is physically. Although my recovery has def. been easier this time around, I’m thankful that it’s mostly behind me [hopefully]. -It’s crazy to me how different Avery already is from Emerson. For some reason, I was expecting them to be the exact same as newborns. -It’s been such a treat to have meals brought over by friends these past two weeks. Not only because we don’t have to cook,…
-I’m really craving hot apple crisp, but ice cream will have to do in this weather. -Fingers crossed Emerson is finally sleeping better. Her terrible sleep lasted about 2 weeks, so I do think it was some sort of regression. -I know I said I might take a break from the news, but I’m kind of obsessed with the whole whistleblower/impeachment inquiry coverage. The whole thing is fasinating. -Matt and I squeezed in another date night at Good Food –…
-We are having beautiful weather this week. I cannot remember the last time I was cold, but I actually had to go inside when I was having lunch! -Anyone else have a toddler who went through a 3-year-old sleep regression? I was thinking the earlier wake-ups and crying more at bedtime was related to going back to school and her sensing the coming change. But, then I read that it’s common for this developmental stage. -Every night Matt and I…
-I’m attempting to re-upholster a $50 ottoman from Homegoods with a stapler this weekend, so wish me luck -I saw this idea about introducing an older child to a new baby, but not sure I’d have the energy to take the toddler searching for the baby:) If you’ve had two children, did you do anything special for the introduction? -Newborn diapers are en route to my house so things are getting real. -I love back-to-school season – we had meet the…
-We decided to screen in our porch! I figure we’ll be spending a lot more weekends at home and I’ve dreamed of having a screened in porch as long as I can remember. I’m so excited to see how it looks (hoping it doesn’t make our living room too dark) and to hang out outside when it’s no longer 90+ degrees -Speaking of fall temps, I’m SOOOO excited for fall clothes and normal clothes. I actually don’t mind maternity clothes…
-After returning three backpack diaper bags (Skip Hop, Land – aka a million fake versions of this “brand”, and Mina Baie), I ordered the Freshly Picked bag in Birch and think it’s the one!. It’s very similar in size to my Hershel, but looks a little nicer for my daily bag and has more pockets, including exterior water bottle pockets which were a must! Also, you can use the 20% off coupon at Buy Buy Baby which made the price…
-I’m definitely procrastinating packing for the wedding weekend by writing this post. -The baby kicks have been getting big this week, and Matt and I are still kind of in awe that another one is coming!! -We are trying Sunbasket this week and I really like it! It’s less work than Blue Apron and better quality than Hello Fresh. I don’t think we could afford to do it every week (a friend gave me her code), but it has been…
Yesterday was the most relaxing flight experience we’ve had with a kid – no scary taxi cab on crazy NYC highways and I sat across the aisle while Matt and Em did a new sticker book for the one hour flight. My new Toms arrived Tuesday and I really like them (haven’t had a pair of Toms in a while) – they have a slightly metallic gold sheen to them. Emerson literally squealed for ten minutes straight when she first…
