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,…
I can finally relax a bit, both because Grammie is here to take care of Emerson when I go to the hospital, and because I have an entertainer + another set of hands to help with everything. After a hard week of toddler challenges (flu shot + a cold + constipation + sleep issues made for the perfect storm), I put my feet up on Friday night! My mom put Em to bed, and Matt made us two tasty pizzas…
What a treat to have an extra day to the weekend. I always kinda forget about these long weekends until they are here and it was WONDERFUL to have an extra day with Matt to do all the fun things. We kicked off the weekend with two Mellow Mushroom pizzas and then went straight to bed because we were both exhausted. I was on my phone the minute I opened my eyes on Saturday to see if Move That…
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…
Hello and happy fall!! It was 60 degrees outside when we went to the park this morning, and quite chilly in comparison to the Texas temps we had this weekend. We traveled to Dallas for a close college friend’s wedding. It was our first time back since moving and made me happy and sad all at the same time. We went straight from the airport to a play date at a friend’s house. She had tacos from the amazing Velvet…
Despite hours in the car and boatloads of New York traffic, we had a terrific weekend in Boston. It’s hard to believe we moved from Boston in 2011, and have only been back once! I wish we could have spent a whole week there, visiting the restaurants and our old hood, but we had people to see! We visited friends from grad school up in Winchester on Thursday and Friday, and then friends from Davidson in Boston on Saturday. Both…
We had a glorious summer weekend in New York. Friday, Matt was able to leave work a bit early, so we made the spontaneous decision to explore Battery Park. I took the ferry over from Brooklyn and we met up on Wall St. We enjoyed walking along the water and hanging out on the grass before riding the coolest carousel I’ve ever seen! The sea glass carousel has beautiful fish that go up and down and also rotate on the…
We’re back form a whirlwind weekend in North Carolina for my 10 year college reunion. We had a great time, but man is traveling with Emerson getting more difficult. It’s not the actual plane ride, but disrupting her schedule, keeping her safe when she just wants to sprint everywhere, and getting her to sleep when she is stimulated by everything around her! On to the fun stuff! We rented a beautiful lake house with all of my girlfriends and their…
I’ve been thinking of buying a fun one-piece this year but just cannot find one that covers my behind. Why do designers assume that if one wants to cover part of her stomach that she must want to let her cheeks hang out?? Also, I’ve been trying on larges and extra larges and they still are too small. If you’re feeling generous, I’m obsessed with this organization and they are raising money for the many children you’ve probably heard about…
