Give a girl a list, and shes going to want to cross things off.That said, Im movin right along with my mini bucket list. Large paint strokes in varied shades of pale blue are staggered across one liv...
I do love a good birthday party, a festive holiday, opportunities to pop the cork, blast the confetti and do my now well-choreographed high-on-life dance (in my head, it goes a little something like ...
I am certain that the most joy Ive ever experienced in one moment was felt at 7:45 p.m. on May 18th, 2007. Six pound, six ounce Lainey Love fit in my arms and stretched across my chest in a way that ...
I don’t know how I had forgotten but suddenly it was Tuesday morning—a very special one—and Nella had nothing to wear to her first ballet class. And by nothing to wear, I mean she had a closet full o...
Our beach at the Isles of Capri welcomed us yesterday, its skinny shore recently renovated with a line-up of new adirodacks in jelly bean hues that nicely compliment the kids swimsuits. Lime and lave...
Our kitchen is a scattered mess of bowls half-filled with soggy cereal, coffee cups, a few groceries that havent yet been put away and a pile of bathing suits, towels and sunblock sticks set aside in...
I love Friday posts. I love them because I write them at the end of the day, right after Ive raised my weekend freak flag (its yellow, by the way). I love them because I drink hot tea (cough, cough--...
If there was a game that involved points for how many times you can say supermoon, let it be known that last weekend, I would have won. And if extra points could be measured in mosquito bites gained-...
A young woman my age has a 1 in 700 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. While that fact may be interpreted as “not very likely,” I have been reminded the last several months that there is a m...
We traded naps for the beach this afternoon. Loving this song: "Something Good Can Work" by Two Door Cinema Club *****Friday Photo Dump:Friday Phone Dump photos are taken on the Instagram iPh...
Enjoying Tonight:A New Coffee PotOur leaky broken piece of jank was finally replaced. Its not that I love the new pot because really, I wanted something funkier--some retro conversation piece that pe...
I began to write this post last night after Brett agreed to put the girls to bed, but one sentence into it, Lainey walked into the office and buried her head into my lap. "Lay with me, Mama,"...
It is easy to come home from travels and unfairly measure our city against all that I love about where Ive been. I wish we had street vendors, independent coffee shops on every corner, brownstones wi...
This post is another Hallmark sponsored post. I am being paid by Hallmark to write it, but all writing, ideas and opinions are mine. Thankfully, Hallmark and I share the same idea--that little moment...
I had a post of substance planned, compiled from a string of good thinking. But I pulled it out of my mind oven tonight, stuck a toothpick in it, and it came up gooey and unfinished. So its going bac...
I write from the kitchen tonight--a make-shift office erected at the island counter where I can feel the unseasonably cool air seep in from the back doors and I can hear the rhythm of crickets that h...
I think it should be noted that I had one of the best falls of my life today--the kind where you only get hurt a little bit so its funny and not sad. Middle of Washington D.C., throngs of people, thr...
Surprised a group in Baltimore last night with a LIVE IN PERSON Book Club Meeting. More from Baltimore soon:
It is a good day because my kids and I all have new pajamas tonight. I think things like new pajamas dont get the attention they deserve. I mean, why arent more people blogging about new pajamas beca...
There are a few things in life of which I am certain, based on repetition of circumstances. I am quite certain Lainey will ask to go to the bathroom the minute we’ve left the house. I am quite certai...
Well, its been quite a week. After three electric days in New York, I boarded my plane last night, prepared to wedge between two bodies into 14B only to find A and C were vacant. So I stretched out a...
A couple weeks ago, with a little urging, Lainey agreed to put her shyness aside for a bit to sing "Happy Birthday" over the phone to her grandpa. We called from the beach at Isle of Capri, a...
"This might be one of the last days we can open all the windows," Brett announced this morning as he forced open the sliding glass doors with one strong push, welcoming the breeze that had be...
I did something this afternoon that I havent done in a long time--I napped. After a bit of a cold relapse and an exciting/exhausting day yesterday, I listened to my body as it begged me to be kind. O...
Well, its late on Monday evening, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow and my beloved friend who flew in tonight is sitting behind me watching me type. She followed me into my computer room and did...
Upon completion of her breakfast this morning, Lainey set out to the bathroom where she carefully prepared the sink for her baby dolls bath, gathering folded towels for cushion, a bottle of hand soap...
I just finished walking Nella under a canvas of midnight blue sky speckled with radiant stars and a bright sliver of a moon. I pushed her in her stroller and opted to go barefoot--a very embracing-Sp...
Its been over two years now that this blog has had a readership extending beyond family, friends and the handful of moms who came to read ramblings of a mama in love with holidays, cute shoes and a b...
Tonight we gathered under periwinkle skies for a beach sunset to honor 3-21. On the twenty-first day of the third month, we celebrate three copies of the twenty-first chromosome along with thousands ...
