Three Peas in a Pod: Our Nursery

February 2, 2012

I’ve been wanting to share our nursery/children’s room with you for a while now, but there were so many things getting in the way. First and foremost, I wanted those picture perfect magazine-like images to share. I had to eventually come to the realization that the perfect magazine photo just wouldn’t ever happen. And that’s [...]

Sundays

January 30, 2012

I’ve never really been a fan of Sundays until recently. Throughout my life, Sundays have indicated the impending doom of Monday… Back to school or worse, work. Since I’ve been a stay-at-home mother and wife to a student, the weekends have blurred. I’m grateful that Justin is around most weekends, but generally he spends a [...]

Getting Organized

January 6, 2012

We definitely downsized when we moved from California to New York City. Plus, we lost a TON of storage space both outside (garage, etc.) and inside. It’s been a work in progress for the last three years. Basically, we have to spend time each and every weekend organizing and re-organizing our things and the kids’ [...]

Christmas Magic

December 27, 2011

This Christmas will one of my most memorable, to be sure. The weeks leading up to Beau’s due date and the big holiday itself, I spent nesting and squirreling away stocking stuffers and gifts for my kids, knowing that once the baby was born I would have very little time. I took the kids to [...]

Cranberries Galore in Rockefeller Center

November 23, 2011

Every year before the holidays kick off, Ocean Spray brings a gigantic cranberry bog to the middle of Manhattan-smack in the middle of Rockefeller Center. In the realm of crazy and amazing things to behold in New York City, a 1,500-square-foot bog filled with 2,000 lbs. of floating cranberries will definitely not go unnoticed. This [...]

Country Escape

November 15, 2011

My mom flew in from California on Thursday, so as you can imagine my life has been very peaceful the past four days. We’re all just a little bit more grounded when she is around. She takes care of us, but mostly she takes care of me. It’s the only time in my life lately [...]

On The Move {$50 Amazon Giveaway!}

August 31, 2011

For the past week I’ve been in suburbia, living the quiet life without any children or anything to clean. A press trip-turned-hurricane-detour has left me in the lap of luxury: A quiet, cozy space in my mother’s home, with my mom’s cooking, with full use of my mother’s vehicle. I’ve almost completely forgotten what it [...]

Summer Streets and Step & Repeats

August 22, 2011

The past three consecutive Saturdays in August, Park Avenue has been closed to vehicles and opened to bikers, pedestrians and everyone in-between for what they call Summer Streets. We’ve managed to make it out to two-the festivities along the way are so much fun and the kids get such a kick out of riding their [...]

NYC Scooter Cruisin’ (plus a giveaway)

August 15, 2011

Moving to the middle of Manhattan has changed so many things about our lives; Most significantly our mode of transportation. We had to quickly adjust to learning the subway system and bus schedules, rather than depending on the ease of owning our own vehicle. The first two years we were here, we relied mainly on [...]

Golden State Escape

June 29, 2011

We’re back in the city after an exciting, relaxing and restorative vacation back home to Northern California. Nothing like traveling back in time to land far, far away to gain a little perspective. Traveling to the airport and across the country alone with the kids was the easiest and smoothest to date… there were zero [...]
