Just a little hello to start your Monday off on the right foot. I had kind of a tough weekend, and nothing lifts my spirits like seeing this little munchkin laugh or smile.xo!
Last week, Joslyn coined the best quote of 2012. I believe her exact words were, "I would rather get a bikini wax than eat at a Chuck E. Cheese." What can I say? The girl speaks the truth. Bu...

Last week I went to Salt Lake City with 500 talented bloggers, entrepreneurs, artists, and friends Ive known for four years but have never actually met. It was my first-ever Altitude Design Summit, a...
HoloceneIm back from Alt. Cant believe its come and gone.An old playlist and a brand new beginning. There is so much to tell you. So much to declare. But, for now, just a train ride to work.Music on,...
Im going to let you in on a not-so-well-kept secret: I have a HUGE fear of public speaking. Enormous. Its a fear that was compounded exponentially when I was given the incredible honor of interviewin...
Not really. I didnt feel like paying for WiFi on my flight over to Dallas this a.m. But, since I have a spare thirty minutes to kill until my connection to Salt Lake City, I thought Id hop on my iPho...
Last week my mom forwarded me an article in the Wall Street Journal about how children eat. It was really interesting and focused on the difference between how kids process a plate vs. adults, as wel...
Hello, and happy Monday, sweet peas! Its been a long time since Ive done an update on the girls milestones, but since yesterday was Blakes 11-month birthday, I thought Id check in with some of the gi...
Living in New York, it can be tough to find things to do when its 20 degrees outside or freezing rain, like today. And while I make it my mission to get the girls outside every day, I had to laugh as...
This weekend was a tough one. After our furnace finally spurted out its very last breath, we were forced to move into my moms while the 30-year-old clunker was replaced. The girls have never really s...
Twice a day on the days that I work, I walk through the gorgeous and massive Grand Central Terminal. Its crystal chandeliers and zodiac ceiling always make me feel like Im traveling through some sort...
Last week Aunt Abby came to visit and the four of us girls had a wonderful day. Devon and Blake got two new animal books and I got to catch up with my sister, whos in grad school and working but alwa...
Even before I became a mom, I knew Id invoke a "one toy in, one toy donated" rule when the time was right. It just seems like having too much of something can be overwhelming to kids, whereas...
Happy new year, everyone! I have a few big resolutions for 2012, namely to be kinder to myself and surround myself with people who have my best interests at heart. Every time I make a resolution to g...
Posting is going to be light around here while I take some time off to spend with family and friends. But I had to share this photo of the girls and Santa Claus from last week. Blake tugged at Santas...
This past weekend Devon drew her first smiley face. Before I had a chance to save it, Blake grabbed the paper and shoved it straight into her mouth like a crumpled up piece of candy. Who knew smiles ...
Lately Ive been taking little mental vacations—a hot shower, a walk with the dogs, sneaking in a nap on the couch during the day. For a while I ignored my need to breathe deeply and unwind, because m...
I am so excited to present todays giveaway to you. Its SO not my doing, but the timing... just a couple weeks before the holidays... makes this feel like the biggest, most special giveaway I could po...
I never had an inkling of how chaotic life could be once I was married with children. Its like trying to wrap your head around being a member of the opposite sex, or a dog, or Madonna. There are days...

A few weeks ago, Devon woke up from her nap and was in a super silly mood. Blake was being Blake, as we say {the most laid-back baby ever}, so I sat in the living room while the light was still decen...
Last week I had dinner with Monica and Emily, who mentioned that I have a bit of an accent. "Certain words," they explained. {You can probably guess the ones.} Then yesterday I heard the same...
My grandma was the most difficult person to shop for, ever. Each year when wed ask what she wanted, shed hem and haw and eventually ask for a cardigan—one with 5,000 requirements. Grandmas cardigan n...
Since Devon first laid eyes on Blake, she has been the babys biggest fan. Constant kisses, nonstop hugs, and always asking me to put Blake down so she can feed her or bring her a toy.And then there a...
I remember the first Christmas that Paulie and I celebrated together. It had only been a month since wed started dating, and I had no clue what to get him. After much deliberation, I framed a photo I...
Id like to talk for a minute about Wednesday, because, boy was it a bang-up day! The kind of day where the stars align and everything just goes as planned. And heres why: I woke up Wednesday morning ...
A week ago we hosted our very first Thanksgiving. It was a small group—just the four of us and my mom—and my mom and I cooked all of the food. Since Blake is just starting to eat table food, there we...
