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…
Happy Valentine’s and Galantine’s my friends (although judging from the comments on my last post, some of you are definitely not my friends…joking, kind of). -I’m pro-Valentine’s because February is a dreary month and it gives us an excuse to eat some kind of dessert and be extra gushy. Matt’s traveling today, but we enjoyed a date night this past weekend at Haymaker and called that our celebration. I also snuck some treats in Matt’s work bag. -Emerson was sick…
Hello out there! Are you guys tired from the holidays? I sure am! We packed our bags yet again and headed to Hillsborough for Christmas. It was actually good to get out of our house because we were forced to take a break from the never-ending to-do list that came with moving into our house. My sister’s fam came down from Charlottesville and I got to meet baby Birch! Gosh he was tiny and very cute! Emerson got along great…
Hello! Moving logistics have taken over my life! If you don’t hear from me much over the next couple of weeks, you’ll know why. We had a lovely Thanksgiving break! I took Emerson to her Practically Preschool class, and then she got to skip her nap so that we could get on the subway to go to Penn Station. It was a little frantic at the station, but we used the red cap service in order to board the train…
-I just finished reading Oh Crap! Potty Training by Jamie Glowacki, and can I say that I’m dreading this more than any other stage I’ve encountered thus far. The idea of being locked in my apartment with a naked toddler sounds horrible, but I have a couple of friends who swear by this method. -You may have heard I got a new nephew this week!! Look at that big yawn! -Emerson is obsessed with her practically preschool class, and I am…
We had a big weekend over here! My parents were in town, we celebrated Emerson’s birthday on Friday, and then Matt and I went on an overnight date in the city! We kicked off the long weekend with my mom and dad’s arrival on Thursday. Emerson hadn’t seen them in a few months and was so excited, but then was super shy when they got here. We headed straight for the Gap Outlet and my mom treated Emerson to some…
Hello! I’m popping in from Portugal to share a few photos from the first half of our trip. We’re staying at the amazing Pine Cliffs resort in the Algarve region, and have been blown away by this property! There were some mixed reviews when we researched, but we have loved everything about the resort. It’s one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever visited and the grounds are immaculate. Plus, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Emerson did well on…
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…
Well that was the fastest beach trip I can ever remember. As much as I love going on vacation, I also love returning to my own home and routines. I got so much rest on our trip to Bald Head (slept 8-9 hours and only worked out twice), so I’m feeling restored and ready to mom full-time again. Emerson has also gifted me with long naps and sleeping in until almost 8 since we’ve been home! With the exception of…
