Report Card, One Week Out
I remember being amazed after Nora’s birth by just how little time it took for me to feel like she had always been there and by how quickly I forgot what life was like before Nora. Really, what did I do with myself before I had kids? It seems so much less than what I…

Zara and Me
Chris and I were marveling at how different Zara looks from Nora as a baby, and then my mom sent over a picture of me from the hospital. Now we know where all that black hair and those chubby cheeks came from!

More photos and Zara’s birth story to come, but I cannot wait to share this photo of her getting weighed for the first time. Her little toes and tiny feet are just way too adorable.

Perfection
I’m still working on Miss Zara’s birth story, but I wanted to share a quick update on how we’re doing. And, honestly, the title of this post says it all. I couldn’t imagine a better beginning to our little entry into the world. Everything about this experience, from the birth to the past two days…

Peppermint Fudge Cookies

I think I Might Be Nesting
I hope all of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful little break. I’ve been working away trying to get websites finished, several of which are behind schedule despite my best efforts. I’m still glad I did my pre-baby special (I got some really great clients and projects out of it), but I also learned…

Winter Solstice + Giveaway Winners!!
Happy Solstice! Nora missed the memo about today being the shortest day and was up bright and early (far before the sun) out of sheer excitement about opening presents. We managed to hold her off for a while with an episode of Caillou on my laptop before having to acknowledge morning and let her at…

Keep Calm and Love…Wyoming
If you have been following my new Instagram account, you have been getting little hints that something big is in the works for us.

As always, I am long overdue for an update on Papoose. I haven’t said much about it since World Breastfeeding Week, largely because World Breastfeeding Week felt like my last-ditch effort to garner some additional support and interest in my goals for supporting Nantucket families. I put my heart and soul into planning and executing…
