Happy, happy Saturday friends... extra enthusiasm because I am enjoying every second of my most favorite time of year. This weekend we will be decorating gingerbread houses, perhaps taking a trip to see Santa, and watching as many Christmas movies as possible. This year the holiday is feeling even more exciting than usual because Max and Ella are super into everything ... Read More
Swoon Worthy | Small Business Saturday
I hope you're all recovering nicely from the overindulgence that comes along with Thanksgiving, and that you got the opportunity to take full advantage of some of the great Black Friday deals that were floating around yesterday. We had a pretty low key holiday, seeing as we all seem to be fighting some sort of never ending cold/virus over here. So, we spent the ... Read More

It's been one heck of a couple of weeks around here. If you missed it, I went away for a couple of days to Cape Cod last weekend to spend some time with family. Since I've been back, Max has come down with some sort of virus, that left us stuck in the house all week long (besides a couple of trips to see our pediatrician), and me with a severe case of cabin fever. ...

If you know me personally, or have been following this blog for awhile now, you are probably well aware of the fact that I am Christmas obsessed. If you didn't already know that fun fact, then consider yourselves warned. It is literally taking every ounce of restraint that I have, not to tear down every last piece of fall decor, and start decking the halls, and I can't ... Read More

Happy Hallo-weekend! We're gearing up for a crazy Saturday night around here, well about as crazy as we get these days. Apparently our new neighborhood is the "it" place to trick or treat around these parts, so here's to hoping I bought enough candy!!! Here's the random list of things that I am swooning over from this past week... 1. I am a total sucker for ... Read More

I am pleased to say that coffee is FINALLY tasting (and smelling) good to me again (thank you 2nd trimester)! So this Swoon Worthy post comes to you courtesy of one very happy, caffeine infused mama! I'm fueling up for a day full of Halloween crafts, costume making, and a neighborhood parade this afternoon, so Lord knows I will need a big cup to keep me going! I ... Read More

{photo via} October is officially here, and I don't know how the weather is where you all are, but the temperatures here in New York have dropped quite a bit this past week. It doesn't seem that we're going to be climbing out of the low to mid 50's this weekend, which means it really and truly feels like fall now (yipee!) This time of year, through the ... Read More

Cheers to another weekend friends! I'm not sure how it's already half way through August, but I suppose, somehow, it is. Soon enough these lists will be all about pumpkin EVERYTHING, but for now lets just enjoy what's left of summer, live in the moment, and try not to rush things. I'm kicking things off this week with a personal family recipe... one that ... Read More
Bath Time Rituals
Bath time around here has been anything but routine lately. As soon as Ella was capable of sitting up on her own, I nixed the separate tub times and opted for an everyone-in-the-pool at once approach. {Nuby foam letters} It seemed like a brilliant idea, and all was fine and good until M&E started to really interact with each other and play together ...

This time of year always seems so strange to me. All of my favorite stores are releasing their spring collections, and everything is pastel, and floral, and bright. Yet it's totally freezing outside, and most of us are currently buried in snow. The optimist in me is choosing to feel hopeful. Hopeful that the season that brings warmer weather, green grass, and ... Read More
