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 feel like it’s been a while since I just sat down and chatted with you all. Time is moving so fast these days, and I know that summer is going to fly by. Last weekend, four of my college friends came to town to shower one of our other friends with gifts for her bundle of joy. I’m so excited that these friends are starting to have babies. Watching each other become mothers was definitely not…
Thank you all for your lovely comments on my announcement. I love hearing from you guys, and a lot of the comments about being pregnant with a toddler versus having a newborn with a toddler were reassuring that I’ve got this:) — We got lots of April showers over the past three days, but that didn’t stop us from having a fun weekend. Sadly, the neighborhood Easter egg hunt was cancelled, but we still hosted the brunch after-party we had…
Good evening, As I’m sure some of you saw on the Insta, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a kid-free girls weekend to celebrate my sister-in-law! I dropped Emerson off at preschool, and then hopped on a quick flight down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL on Friday. The weather was a tad chilly, but still warm enough for drinks and pool time. We did absolutely nothing but lay on chairs and talk for a couple of hours while we waited for…
We’ve had all the visitors in town these past two weeks. Matt’s parents were here last weekend, and although we had gross rain, we had a great time lounging and eating and catching up. Emerson adores her grandparents and even got to spend an evening with them while Matt and I had an awesome date night at Haberdish. This weekend, Kath and her two boys came down from Charlottesville, and my parents came up on their way home from a…
Hello, Sorry it’s been a while. After I blogged last week, Emerson got worse, and it turns out she had an ear infection. Poor girl. I’m still learning how to balance my new work load on days when Emerson is home or doesn’t nap for long, but I’ve caught up these past three days. Luckily, I’m working for some lovely ladies who know me well and are understanding if I don’t accomplish as much in a week. My parents arrived…
Hello, and happy polar vortex week. I hope you guys are staying warm out there. Matt and I had a really low-key weekend, as we were both dealing with colds that were just dragging on and left us feeling tired. We did manage to eat some Mexican food (spices are good for colds, right?) at Supernica. This might be a new favorite, especially since the salsa is some of the best I’ve had. And the kids meals come with popsicles, so…
Hello. I feel like I have so much to tell you all because there are so many new things/routines/experiences in my life right now. Emerson has been so excited about preschool and the teacher says she is a model student:) However, she’s been throwing irrational fits, crying, and having a really hard time time with naps as soon as she is back in my care. I think she’s just exhausted from being on and engaging in activity for 3 hours…
Can you believe it’s a new year? The weather down here is throwing me off and I keep forgetting it’s January. We had a week of dreary rain and our yard keeps getting worse: The beautiful new sod that was here when we saw the house is all gone, and sadly we’re going to have to put in all new grass and install french drains to deal with the flooding. But, after the week of rain, we had the most…
