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 [...]

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 [...]

Sweet Fall Harvest Pork Recipe

October 17, 2011

I wrote last week about our new fascination for making dinners in the crock pot. It’s super easy, the dinners usually turn out really good, the apartments smells so divine, and the clean-up is minimal. The best part: Even the kids enjoy them. Last weekend, my husband hopped on his bike and rode 80 or [...]

Playtex Party Giveaway!

October 10, 2011

Last week, Jack and I swabbed his room for germs and sent them away to Dr. Tanner’s Laboratories to study the results of our germ testing. The following Friday, Jack and I held a play date of sorts at home to talk about the results and discuss the benefits of being more aware of germs [...]

A Perfect Family Vacation in Boston

October 6, 2011

There are precious few times in life when you can say that you took the vacation of a lifetime with your children. Fewer still when your lives are so utterly compromised with school, work and the daily monotony of life that even family meals are scarce. During a very brief and rare break from dental [...]

Serenity in the Simple Things

September 29, 2011

Life has been busy lately. I feel like I say that all the time, but it’s really been crazy bananas recently. I’m learning how to juggle being a self employed, work at home mother while keeping my parenting duties first and foremost. I have always considered myself a fast learner, the tricky part is foreseeing [...]

Germs in the City

September 28, 2011

Even as a “seasoned” parent of almost three, germs are one of those things that freak me out the very most. I relaxed a bit after my second baby was born, but I still carry around the WetOnes and hand sanitizer wherever we go. NYC is dirty filthy, and seeing my kid’s hands on the [...]
