Life
This is our life. The nitty-gritty, day-to-day story of what we’re doing and our adventures as a family. Sometimes detailed, often mostly a photo journal, filled with lots of pictures of cute little people and occasional longer reflections on Hinds family happenings.

In like a lion
📍 New YorkI can’t believe it’s March already. And Nora is six months already. I mean, really, she’s sitting. And getting ready to crawl – which will truly keep us on our toes. I don’t even know if I’m ready for that level of parenting: outlet covers and baby gates and oh my goodness she was just…

Five Months
Nora was five months yesterday. I can hardly believe that she’s almost a half year old! She’s doing new things every day (like sitting in a grocery cart for the first time) and is so gosh, darn amazing. Last week we were in California again and she chomped down on my finger not just with…

Saturday Morning
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. News around here is that Nora weighs more than 14 lbs and in the last week has started sleeping 7-8 hours at night in her crib. Honestly, I’m a little bit sad about that – I love having her in with us. But, we’re going to bed later these…

Picture Frames
I spent some of my Christmas money on pictures frames from Micheal’s, which I’ve been wanting for a long time. Now our bedroom walls are a little less empty. Nora helped hang them 🙂

Christmas
We had a great Christmas trip to Vermont (excluding the drive there and back – it would appear that Nora does not enjoy being hooked into her carseat for 5 hours at a time). Here are some of the pictures from the trip. I’ll upload some video later. Enjoy! With Papa on Christmas eve. …

Winter Fun
It’s getting close to Christmas and we’re super excited, even though Nora won’t get much out of it this year. The house is all decorated, I’m planning my usual baking frenzy for Wednesday night, and today Nora went to go see Santa. We’re supposed to get tons of snow tonight, which plenty of people are…

Early Christmas Present
I got my Christmas present early this year – family photos! It wasn’t in th budget for us to go get pictures and I really wanted good shots of all of us before Nora gets too old, so Chris gave me family pictures from a place at the mall for Christmas – which turned out…

Post Thanksgiving/Redo
We were lucky enough to spend Nora’s first Thanksgiving at Marc & Margarete’s with the whole Cassalina clan, which is just about as good as having our own family around, but we realized meant no leftovers at our house, and missing some of our favorite foods, so we decided to have a second Thanksgiving on…

Childcare
I never imagined just how incredibly awful it is to find quality, affordable childcare for a newborn. Of course, I procrastinated on it, because I was secretly hoping Chris would find a job that would pay enough for me to stay home with her… When I finally realized that wasn’t going to happen, I figured…

Parade of Halloween Outfits
So, Nora got a lot of Halloween outfits (four), and the funny thing is they are all not quite small enough (she’s still swimming in 0-3 months and wearing newborn-sized). She wore them anyway and looked really cute in them all! Here’s three (she’s going to wear the last one tomorrow): P.S. We realized all…
