On the Horizon

February 21, 2012

Our home has been filled with more love and chaos than ever before, but we’re doing well. All five of us are doing really, really well. It feels so good to say that after there was so much uncertainty brewing just before Beau was born. During our fifth year of marriage, our family expanded to [...]

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 [...]

Calming our Cabin Fever

January 20, 2012

Winter on the East Coast was a tough pill for this California Girl to swallow the first two or three cold winters we had here. Not only did it get ridiculously cold, but it snowed. A LOT. At first it was scary to me when it got really freezing cold out and dumped snow. We [...]

The Honest Company with Jessica Alba

January 19, 2012

The birth of our third child raised a common question with us: Whether or not we would cloth diaper or stick with our trusty disposables. Both my husband and I are very eco-friendly minded and try to make many-if not all-of our consumer decisions based on their ability to be kind to the planet. We [...]

Re-Emerging as a Mother of Three

January 14, 2012

The last five weeks since Beau was born have been filled with love, laughter, exploration, frustration, exasperation and many, many lessons. Jack and Zoe have been troopers as we grow and mold our lives to accommodate this new little being into our family. We’ve done everything we can to keep their lives as “normal” and [...]

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 [...]

Holiday Shopping at Duane Reade

December 25, 2011

I have a confession of a strange obsession: Drug Store Shopping. There’s just something about going into a drug store and being able to find what every I happen to be looking for. Most of the time, I don’t really need anything but 9 times out of ten, I cannot walk past a drug store [...]
