Nursing in Public

Yes, that's an arbitrary nursing picture with ***gasp*** a boob in it.  Given the topic of this post, it only seems appropriate to share a picture of my little Zara Bea doing her favorite thing.  If that offends you, then you might no[...]

Pumping and Time Apart

Tonight, I pumped for the first time since Zara's birth.  I sat on my bedroom floor, answering question after question from my curious preschooler as I followed a ritual at once both familiar and foreign.  Unzip the black bag that was[...]

Behavior Modification, Santa and the Elf on the Shelf

It's the time of year where I'm due for at least one blog post about how we're fumbling our way through winter holiday traditions and figuring out what works for our family.  I wasn't originally planning to write about about Santa today, a[...]

Labeling a Life of Work and Family

It seems I've forgotten how to blog...and maybe dial the phone, too.  Thank goodness for Facebook where I can at least post an occasional status update or photo as a means of reassuring my mother (all the way down in Texas) that, yes, we'r[...]

Weaning Nora

World Breastfeeding Week is coming to a close, and after a busy three days of classes, speakers, and events on Nantucket, I was exhausted (and, frankly, remembered exactly what it was that I didn't like about working full-time while parenting).[...]

Rallying

It was five o'clock.  I was standing at the kitchen sink, only just starting on breakfast dishes.  I was exhausted and hungry after a full day of playgrounds, walks, bike rides, and  errands and appointments that did not go as exp[...]

Growing

Things keep changing, no matter how much I will them to keep still.  It's almost unbelievable that this little girl, who builds sandcastles and begs to be buried was once horrified by the prospect of sand. That the gi[...]

Good Things Come

We're exhausted.  Well, at least the grownups in this family are...I don't think Nora has any concept of exhaustion that goes from day-to-day. No, she is a well of youthful energy, which sounds ridiculous for me to say given that I'm not th[...]

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.

The best thing about having a king sized bed is having space for cuddle bugs.

Walking around the neighborhood with Z and I'm reliving my first experience with entrepreneurship: @girlscouts cookie sales. My mom was our troop leader (all the way through Juniors) and I remember our garage piled high with boxes and boxes of cookies. 

It's fun watching Z try her hand at sales. She is fearless and no problem describing every cookie to complete strangers. Despite having never done it before, she has an incredibly aggressive goal of selling 1500 boxes of cookies. If any kid can do it, though, I think she can.
