Hurricane Irene: Blessings in Disguise

September 1, 2011

Last Thursday was one of the craziest days I have had in a very, very long time. I was up at 5AM packing lunches, writing notes for the babysitter, finding a broadcast worthy blouse, and loading up my suitcase for a weekend trip to Los Angeles. Justin left at 7:30AM to take one of the [...]

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 [...]

A Labor of Love

August 14, 2011

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Zoe has finally begun use the potty and is nearly completely out of diapers. It’s been a long, messy and frustrating time coming, but I’m so excited to bust out the adorable Hello Kitty panties I bought for her six months ago. We learned that after [...]

‘Tis the Season for Love

May 31, 2011

I’ve fallen again for this city. Spring has officially made it’s awesome appearance, and just like *that*, I’ve forgiven and forgotten the long, brutal winter that I thought would never leave. I began to seriously doubt my capability for living in New York City through the next two years before Justin graduates Dental School. By [...]

Road Full of Promise: Two Years

May 14, 2011

Today marks the second birthday of one of the coolest, most poignant projects of my life. I’ve been blogging now for two years exactly, and while it feels about right, I’m still in awe at the freedom and joy that documenting our journey to New York City from California has brought me. When I started [...]

Just Wednesday

April 7, 2011

Three days a week, I get Zoe all to myself. When we aren’t at home playing “babies”, we shop, get “coffee”, and cruise around the neighborhood when weather allows. This is the first time we’ve been able to spend time together, being the second child to a brother who is only 19 months her senior. [...]

These Dog Days

August 20, 2010

It’s been a really nice, busy summer.  I love that there is never a dull moment here in the city.  There is always something fun to do, and for that reason alone I never want to leave. Madison Square Park Kids throws a free concert for children on Tuesdays, and has many other programs geared [...]

(ALMOST) Summer in the City

June 2, 2010

This past Memorial Day weekend was one of the very best that I can remember in a long while. Dr. J finished his first year of dental school with flying colors. The peace and joy that has been reverberating off of all four of us is pretty amazing. Everyone can feel the stress that has [...]

Happening. Very. Fast.

July 29, 2009

I know that this blog was supposed to be about my experience moving to the big apple and everything in between, but life has gotten totally hectic and I haven’t had the extra hour to document it. I do find the time to Tweet, however, and it usually happens when I am nursing. I also [...]

A Wing and a Prayer

June 11, 2009

It’s crunch time. No more vacations, no more parties. No more dinners out or new swimsuits (even though the one I have now is SO tattered that the ass is literally falling out). We have begun our decent into our four year prison sentence term of dental school and my feet are getting a little [...]
