Well, another October First, with another baby, has come and [almost] gone. I’d expected that this one would be late too, but got my hopes up around 38 weeks when baby dropped and I started having some cramps and sporadic contractions. I don’t mind that much, as I’ve had such a relaxing week, but I am just ready to meet her so I can stop being nervous about labor and a healthy baby! I’m not scared of labor like I…
We planned a little mountain escape with Matt’s parents this weekend in Wintergreen, VA. We rented a condo through Airbnb and made the 4.5 hour drive on Wednesday afternoon. This is the first car trip of the summer where we started driving during Emerson’s nap and she actually fell asleep. It was only an hour, but was so nice! We were thrilled to arrive in Wintergreen and find chilly mountain air. We were all cold sitting out on the balcony…
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 out there. I can’t believe our move is next month. I’m in that weird transition period where I don’t really know how I feel. I think I’m sad to leave and nervous for the logistics of moving. We’ve finally decided on a moving company (why do they all have horrible reviews?). Fingers crossed, we also have someone interested in taking over the last 1.5 months of our lease, which would be a huge relief. Matt and I are fitting…
We had a super relaxing weekeind over here. How about you? I was craving takeout on Friday, but Matt’s face was so sad when I suggested we skip pizza, that I went out and bought olives and Matt threw together a pizza. It was a chilly day and red wine sounded delightful. Matt and I have been watching the new Queer Eye and enjoyed two episodes with dinner. We’re trying so hard to go to sleep earlier, but ended up…
For once, the long weekend actually felt really long! I realized Matt hasn’t had a day off where we stayed in Brooklyn since Christmas, so it was wonderful to just relax at home for an extra day. Matt’s parents actually came up on Saturday, and we had so much fun showing them our new home. We spent Saturday morning going for a run and cleaning our apartment, and then we hit the promenade as soon as my in-laws arrived. It…
Would you believe that I didn’t start eating pizza until I was in college?? I didn’t like red sauce as a child, and since there were no other kinds of pizza back then (well at least not in small town Hillsborough), I just didn’t eat it. When I got more adventuresome (ha, pizza is basic) in college, I become ravenous for pizza, realizing what I had been missing all those years. Fast forward to today, and we eat it almost…
We’re back from a lovely weekend on the North Fork of Long Island. I came down with a bad cold on Thursday, so I was feeling bad for most of the trip, but we still managed to have a great time. Even the smallest cold makes me appreciate how wonderful it feels to be healthy! We left Friday morning. Emerson was so excited to see her carseat that she practically jumped in it and then accidentally fell asleep on the…
Hi y’all, How it’s going out there? We had a tough week (colds, molars, Matt traveling) followed by a fabulous weekend. Friday was our typical pizza and wine night. We switched things up by using pesto as the base instead of red sauce (although we used a thin layer of red sauce too), and I thought the pizza was one of the best we’ve ever made. It also had parmesan and mozzarella, chicken sausage, and a blend of mushrooms sautéed…
