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 [...]

Joyful and Triumphant

December 21, 2011

Today marks the 14th day since our third baby was born, and while I’m struggling to believe it wasn’t just yesterday that we were in the hospital together, each day has brought a sense of newness all it’s own. I’ve been thinking for the past nearly two weeks about how I want to share the [...]

Mini Fashionista: H&M Kids (Giveaway!)

December 20, 2011

I’ve made countless discoveries since moving to this big city with my children two years ago. Before we moved to Manhattan, I made it a point to shop in small boutiques for all of my kid’s clothing because I knew I would find unique and well made pieces. There are downfalls to boutique shopping, however: [...]

Thankful

November 29, 2011

This holiday weekend was full of firsts… And lasts. We’ve never celebrated Thanksgiving without having members of our extended family in our company (although, we did do Easter alone last April!). It was a big deal last year, and it was an even bigger deal this year. We celebrated our first and last Thanksgiving as [...]

Cranberries Galore in Rockefeller Center

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 [...]

Chef Spike Mendelsohn & Heinz

November 17, 2011

My favorite show on TV is Top Chef. I’m not much of a cook myself, though I do love to cook- I just like watching the competition and getting to know each of the contestants. The one problem my husband I have with the show is that we always want to try the food! A [...]
