How goes it out there? -I cannot believe this babe will be one next week!!! She is testing all the limits over here and wants to climb everything!! -We’re on a real home improvement kick over here (isn’t everyone?) and I’m going down the rabbit hole of paint colors for the interior. Our house is currently painted Pure White, and while I always thought I’d leave it as is, I think we may need a less intense white or a…
How are you all? Lots of school decisions driving you crazy? It seems like the last few weeks have been so hard mentally. I can’t believe I once thought this would be resolved with an 8 week lockdown:( -Avery FINALLY dropped the 5:00AM (knock on wood) feeding so I am a brand new person. I was not able to perform very well as a mom without feeling rested, and quality sleep is a game-changer. -Like most people, I want to…
Hello out there! It’s been a while since I’ve just written about life – we are taking it day to day over here. I’m so thankful some of my neighborhood friends put together themes with craft ideas and activities for the kids! We did ocean week, Earth week, and space week thus far, and it’s given us a little bit of structure to our days. We’ve also been taking daily walks and I’m kind of dreading the heat of July…
-I still can’t believe she was in my body just 6 months ago!! -Some days we aren’t doing much at all, but it still feels so busy – now that Avery is eating three meals a day, it seems like she’s eating breast milk or solids like every 2 seconds. Between all the eating/snacks/naps, the days really do fly by. -So glad we’ve done a couple of Green Chef boxes to mix things up for dinner during this quarantine. We…
Avery is six months old (well 7 next week) and she is just an absolute joy! 6-12 months is my favorite stage EVER and if I could keep having babies in this stage, I would:) She is obsessed with Emerson – won’t eat if Em’s in the room and looks for her everywhere the minute she hears Em’s voice. I LOVE that they are starting to interact and cannot wait to see them play together in the coming months. Avery…
Hello and Happy Earth Day! Between Avery’s teething and staying up late to work on last week’s Beautycounter charity pop-up, I am one tired mama! But, I’m proud to say we raised $966 for the Brooklyn Community Foundation’s COVID Response fund!!! It felt so good to press that DONATE button, so thank you to any of you who shopped for the cause. Now if I could get Avery back to sleeping better at night. Tooth #2 is popping through today,…
Thanks for your post ideas and questions! I figured I’d address them all at once in a Q & A format: I would be interested in your fitness routine now that you’re a mom. Throughout my pregnancy and the first year of Emerson’s life, I mostly did Popsugar Fitness videos at home (HIIT style and weight lifting) and went to the gym for yoga, barre, or HIIT maybe once a week. I had an awesome space to work out in…
Happy summer! We had a lovely weekend of Mexican food, relaxation, and celebrating Em’s dad at Brooklyn Brewery. I think it’s kinda funny that we eat Mexican food so much since leaving Dallas – it’s obviously not as good as it is in Texas, but you can never go wrong with tequila and guac. As you may have seen on Instagram stories, Emerson had a big sleep regression/mental leap and was skipping naps, scared to be in her crib alone,…
I’ve been really into J Crew Mercantile since I discovered it in Dallas. Matt and I stopped by the outlets last weekend and I snagged this dress plus sandals and earrings (I keep buying studs – will I be able to wear dangle earrings again soon?). Speaking of shopping, where can I buy good, white V-neck tees? I used to buy them at Target, but now they are that clingy, sheer fabric. I want a thick tee that won’t stick…
