Building a Parenting Library — Recommended Reading

I mentioned awhile ago that I received a $500 grant to start our La Leche League library.  I had a lot of fun thinking about the books I would recommend to local moms and what was helpful to me the first or second time around.  Of cou[...]

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 som[...]

Pink or Blue?

The last giveaway for this week is more of a fun little game I like to call   I am 36 weeks pregnant now, which means we are no longer counting months, but are counting weeks until Peach is born and we finally get to meet him or her.  Since we[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Homebirth and Our Midwife Sybille

I took Nora for her three year old check up today (we were a little late last year and now are doomed to forever be off on her check ups because of insurance).  She's 28lbs, around 34 inches tall, and just perfect, growing on her own littl[...]

Friends, Yoga, Love and a Whole Lot of Gratitude

Six months have flown by and now that summer's over and I'm 15lbs heavier with a belly out-to-here, we're just about in countdown mode for Peach's arrival. Everyday, Nora tells me, "Wow, Mama, your tummy is getting really, really big!" and perf[...]

Nesting, a.k.a. I’m Not Crazy, I Swear

I know we aren't going to have a baby for five months.  I know there is absolutely no reason why I need to be setting anything up yet... Except that we got an actual bookshelf for Nora, so we moved the changing table out of her room and[...]

Big Sister

I am incredibly behind on blogging, but I had to share these pictures of us telling Nora she is going to be a big sister. We knew there would be no way I could sneak a pregnancy by Laura, Margarete and Trish (not with a trip to the brewe[...]

Birth Plans Second Time Around

Aside from sheer exhaustion and pants that are getting a little harder to button, it's almost easy to forget that I'm pregnant.  We get so busy with our days that, unless my body reminds me to slow down, I don't think too much about it. &n[...]

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

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.
