City Life

The Final Chapter

May 8, 2013

My mother told me when we were embarking upon Dental School and New York City that this journey in our life would really only be a blip in time, retrospectively. A small star in the galaxy of our days in this life. At the time, it was a bit of a coping mechanism; Four years [...]

A Good Day

April 11, 2013

Our nerves were raked against the coals again on Wednesday night with a dose of unfortunate news that will affect our lives once we move back to California. It’s nothing permanent or devastating, but certainly added stress during a time that we are stretched pretty thin. We’ll manage though, as long as we have our [...]

Resident Tourist: Winter Outings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

February 27, 2013

I’ve been spending a lot of time exploring pros and cons to living in New York City lately. I’m really not going to miss the weather, but I will long for the feeling in the air when the seasons change. I won’t miss pushing a stroller in sleet, snow and rain but I will fondly [...]

Moments in a Melting Pot

February 20, 2013

Time is a very strange thing. It seems so poignant that these years with small children are so difficult at times, yet so much more wonderful than anything else. Every moment is fleeting and incredible and I fear so much that I’ll forget so many of them, so I pick up my camera or my [...]

January 4, 2013

The first time we took Jack and Zoe together to a theater show, it was an off-Broadway performance of Angelina Ballerina. They were so great during the show, they were genuinely interested and so entertained by the cute dancing ballerina mice on stage. They we very young though, so I wasn’t sure what their attention [...]

Joy Abounds

December 31, 2012

Christmas wasn’t my favorite holiday until I had children, and even then it took until last year for me to completely dive in and fully appreciate what Christmas means to me and my family. Holidays are fun with children, but this time of year is especially meaningful and necessary for reflecting and appreciating the moments [...]

Enfant is run by exceptional, driven women who have a penchant for art and design, even (and especially) when it comes to products that are traditionally lacking these things. The [...]

Whole Hearts

December 3, 2012

I really wanted to post about our Thanksgiving, and while I know it’s a little late for that, the relevance and significance of that day will last for a long, long time in my heart. Life had all but returned to normal after Hurricane Sandy by the time November 22nd came around, yet I hadn’t [...]

Game Changer

October 25, 2012

I was pretty confident going into this last pregnancy with Beau. It had been over two years since I had been pregnant the previous time, and my biological clock was working overtime. Jack and Zoe were born 19 months apart, and having them back to back was an incredible, whirlwind experience. I was thrilled to [...]

A Very Target Halloween (Giveaway!)

October 19, 2012

I’m not sure there’s another holiday that I have as much fun with as Halloween. I love the changing of the seasons, the apple and pumpkin picking trips, and the costumes. Finding costumes and dressing my kids up is really way more fun as a parent than it ever was as a kid. While last [...]
