The Move
Hi friends! So sorry I have not been posting. The R’s made a big move on the 3rd of April to this beautiful carriage house. We inhabit the top floor of old stables and we overlook this beautiful garden. We have been 100% happy with our decision to leave our postage stamp apartment in Hoboken, … Continue reading
Home Alone
After a couple of God awful nights (think frequent wakings, two-hour screaming sessions, referring to my son as “it,” and sobbing and drinking vodka at 3 am), my amazing parents offered to take Leo home with them for a night so Paul and I could get some desperately needed shut eye. Despite his night antics, … Continue reading
Everyone’s life is perfect …online
This is what my living room looks like now, pretty much all the time. Familiar? And here’s my table when Leo’s through with lunch: I’ll be honest: That dirty highchair tray will probably sit there until dad comes home. And you can bet that there are cheese, chicken, grape and avocado pieces embedded in the … Continue reading
Pho Ga about your problems
Thank you all so much for the kind words you sent me via comments here, e-mails, and texts regarding my previous post. It helps to know that you found my words relatable, although I don’t wish those days upon anyone! They say a little bitterness helps us taste what’s sweet, though, right?? Happily, things have … Continue reading
A Husband’s Love…a health plea from Dr. Dad
Hey everyone, I’m Chris. Husband to Alyson and proud dad to Walker-man. A little background to start you off …9 years ago I found myself lovestruck by this crazy girl named Alyson while attending college in the cornfields of Indiana . About 5 years later she gave me the best day of my life when … Continue reading
Why Have Kids? Well, Why Not?
On my way into the city to meet my husband and friends for a night out without the wee one, I finally had a chance to catch up on some reading. First up: a New Yorker book review with an eyebrow-raising title: “The Case Against Kids: Is procreation immoral?” Naturally! In the books reviewed, two … Continue reading
Days like this
Lately I feel like such a harried mom. A disheveled, muddled person in general, I guess. But it seems more detrimental now that I’m a mother. I know much of this feeling is surfacing because I’m totally running on fumes. I’ve barely slept the past three nights. But it’s also because I’m working full-time and … Continue reading
Yummy Bacon-and-egg Muffins
If resisting Easter candy isn’t hard enough, my mom turned into Paula Dean last weekend and was cooking up a storm. We woke up to these delicious muffins on Easter morning and they were so yummy and creative I had to share. They would be so cute for a birthday brunch. 4 slices bacon, … Continue reading
The New Face of Baby Gap
Gap is looking for the new faces of Baby Gap and Gap Kids. If you think your wee one has got the “it” factor (and what parent doesn’t) submit their photo here by April 22. Good Luck…and may the odds be ever in your favor : )
Fearless
Outside, you, Leo, are an explorer in all his glory. I bring you to the park to experiment with how far you will venture before running back to me. It is inconclusive, because I have to run after you before you jump into the Hudson and swim to Manhattan, or maybe Portugal. You have barely … Continue reading
