I have gone fishing. Actually, a more appropriate title should be...Gone to the Beach, because that is what I am going to try to do, figuratively of course because I do have to keep working every day...
This summer I am taking two vacations, one right now and one at the end of August. We spent the first two days at the beach and the last two days at our favorite hotel out East. There was a...
Belle went to a birthday party this past Saturday night and when we showed up at the house to drop her off, this SUV limo thing was sitting outside the birthday girls house. Part of me was like, "...
We had a great Fathers Day yesterday with Drew. For one of the first times ever, I was prepared with a gift! Drew and I are not big gift-givers although there have been a few great exchanges over the...
Yesterday marked the 12th anniversary for the day I married Drew. My love for him leading up to my wedding day was an all consuming love. One that often times made me feel as if I couldnt breath with...
Lily had nine girls including Belle sleep over this past Saturday night for her birthday party, and ever since then the following thoughts have filled my mind.... What do you do when one of your baby...
I have one daughter who would forgive anyone for anything and another one who can not a hold a grudge per say, but talk you to death with why she is mad or upset with you. Last night we had...
Yesterday this beautiful little girl turned EIGHT! My babys eight. How can this be happening so fast? When she was one, she carried two pacifiers around in her mouth and three in each hand. They were...
It was a long day of sporting events yesterday, coupled with overbearing, over-involved parents and copious amounts of politics. When we got home, this was the first thing on our to do list. Even bef...
In the almost three years that I have been writing here at heyMamas, I dont think I have ever posted a full on frontal shot of my girls. I came across these photos the other day when I was scrolling....
I hope all the Mothers in the world who work tirelessly, day in and day out with almost no thanks at all.....had a chance yesterday to be doted on, even if it only lasted for five minutes and even if...
It happens every time without fail, we head into the parent teacher conferences with Belle and Lilys teachers and when the teacher starts saying wonderful things about my girls, a giant lump begins t...
I havent logged into blog {that rhymes}, since the day after I turned forty which was over two weeks ago. I havent checked any of my favorite blogs either except for one or two cheeky gossip blogs wh...
Welcome to the Club!! I must have heard that phrase five times yesterday, all said by completely different people. The club that I joined was the Forty Plus Club. Mentally, leaving my thirties behind...
I would not be exaggerating if I told you that I spent half of my day yesterday organizing my girls social calendars. Every Friday I have five or six entries listed on my Outlook calendar that give m...
I apologize for what you are about to read and all of the other mushy love notes to my girls recently, actually mostly Belle*, but she has been experiencing a tremendous amount of transformative even...
This is what we are getting in New York City tomorrow... And this is what I need... Can you say Seasonal Affect Disorder?
To say that Drew and I never get any time together without kids dominating every moment of every conversation, would be an understatement. In fact, sometimes an entire weekend will pass and I will re...
After our sporting events were over on Saturday, I went to the grocery store and bought all the necessary ingredients to make homemade cinnamon rolls like the ones The Pioneer Woman makes. Ree is fam...
To my lovely, first-born, spicy, hot-blooded, extremely spirited Belle: I think I will forever refer to 2011 as the "Year of Belle." Hands down, this has been your year. Things are happening ...
From one very Irish girl to all of you, I hope everyone had a very Happy Saint Patricks Day! Tonight we had one of our favorite dinners of all time....breakfast! Drew whipped us up some green chocola...
I dont know how it happens, but we always seem to have the most inappropriate conversations in our house at dinnertime. I mostly believe it is more just the girls being naturally curious about life a...
Everyone that knows me, knows to never use the word cook in the same sentence when mentioning my name. Drew does the cooking {and very well} in our household, and I do the cleanup. This is just how i...
As I made my way up Seventh Avenue this morning heading toward my office, in the distance I could hear a faint hum which I have come to know means there is some kind of activity in Times Square. Peop...
Every now and then, my girls want something so very badly, that they will do absolutely ANYTHING asked of them in the hopes of that bringing them closer to the this thing they must have RIGHT NOW!! A...
So far, this week has been a particularly stressful one for me. The majority of that stress dissipated at 11:30am today when I finished with a three hour long test that I had to take for work. I felt...
The subject of sex is not a new one in our house, as shown here. It started off innocent enough, but has been building ever since, and then came to a head where I had to reveal the truth here,...
This is how my girls showed up to dinner tonight... {Lily and Belle} {And then the posing that went on as they made their way over to the table...OMG, dramatic!} {I get the feeling that the teenage y...
I just had the best five days with Drew and the girls. My apologies for being so quiet here, but I really needed some time to just unwind and not have anything at all on my "to do" list. Satu...
When we first moved to Long Island I knew it was only a matter of time before we would be up against certain situations where my girls would come home and say, "Sloane has this and Emily has that...
