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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

Baby Shower Gift Guide: Day 1

December 5, 2011

As you know, I’m rapidly closing in on my due date with our third baby. They say that subsequent babies don’t traditionally get baby showers, but I personally think that every baby deserves a celebration of some sort. I didn’t want anyone to actually throw me a shower, so I decided to celebrate by spending [...]

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 [...]

Paddywhack Lane Playdate (& Giveaway)

November 22, 2011

One of my favorite things to do with my kids is host play dates. It’s the perfect thing to do on rainy days, especially when those of us that don’t drive are stuck in our apartments entertaining small children with every available resource. It turns out that during Winter on the East coast, we are [...]

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 [...]

Silent Tsunami

November 2, 2011

October is usually my second favorite month of the year. I love the changing of the seasons, the introduction of all things pumpkin to every menu, dressing up in costumes and watching my kids enjoying the excitement of Halloween. We spent time at the Union Square Greenmarket a couple of weeks ago, gathering our gourd [...]
