My First Conference: EVO ’10

July 2, 2010

Early last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the EVO Conference at The Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. I had heard some buzzing about it on the internet in the previous weeks, but hadn’t put any thought into actually attending due to finances and, well, leaving my family. The stars aligned just so, [...]

Chicco: Fashion in Focus

June 29, 2010

A little while ago, I was invited to check out Chicco’s new products and styles at their “Fashion in Focus” event. Being that I have a background in fashion and marketing, I really loved seeing the beautiful patterns and vibrant colors that Chicco has to offer. Being an Italian company, you can really see the [...]

Manhattan: A Day in Our Life

June 22, 2010

Last week while my husband was in California, my mom flew over to visit for a couple of days. She came just in time, after Bubba’s health scare and just in time to save me from a near total and complete meltdown. What is it about mother’s that they know to be there just in [...]

Big Love

June 20, 2010

My husband has a pretty full schedule when he is in school. He spends all day in school or the library studying, including many hours on the weekend. But no matter how busy he is, or how big his upcoming finals are, he always makes time for the kids and I. Every night they play [...]

Keep Calm and Carry On

June 13, 2010

That phrase was actually from a propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II. It’s now on one of my coffee mugs and my most recent mantra. Motherhood has many layers. When my son was born, I discovered things about myself that I never knew, while another [...]

Playground Observer

June 5, 2010

Playgrounds in NYC tell many stories. When we first moved here, one of the first things that I noticed that was so blatantly different than the Bay Area was the playground life. On the weekdays, most (7 out of 10) children are accompanied by nannies. Saturdays are a mix, and on Sunday’s there are mostly [...]

(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 [...]

Get Around, ‘Round ‘Round… Trying to Get Around

May 30, 2010

Whenever I meet someone new here in New York City and tell them my story, they almost always ask me how the transition is going. I almost always tell them that it is going well. The truth is, yes, the transition has been mostly seamless. We absolutely lucked out and moved to one of the [...]

Lunch with Jill Zarin

May 25, 2010

The other day, I was given the opportunity to meet and chat with Jill Zarin. While there was an actual lunch taking place for her as part of the event, I didn’t actually eat lunch with her. This was one of my “New York” moments that still has me scratching my head. When I arrived [...]
