I don’t ever recall being particularly obsessive about sleep, before I had children. I myself am happy to survive off of 6 hours a night, as long as it’s a solid 6 hours. That term “solid sleep” though, is quite a slippery one, once you have children. Aside from some periods throughout high school where […]
As I had mentioned last week, Syd went in for his tonsillectomy last Friday. The procedure went well and the doctor ended up taking out part of his adenoids as well.

I’d be honored if you considered liking my Facebook page! And if you’d like to receive email updates straight to your inbox, please make sure to sign up to the right. It seems my plan of casual avoidance of back to school talk, for the most part worked. The subject of school barely got brought […]
When we decided on the Elf theme for Hayden’s 1st birthday party, we didn’t really worry that people wouldn’t get the whole Christmas in August thing. It didn’t worry us that many of the movie lines, which we would incorporate into the party, were like an inside joke unless you had not only seen the […]

It dawned on me the other night, as I was sitting around with a group of girlfriends whom I had grown up with, so to speak, as a mother, that it was an end of an era. We all had kids, especially our first 2, very close together and the kids were all very close […]

I wore: Denim Cut Offs – DIY from old Madewell jeans; Oversized tank – Target (I LOVE this tank!); Boyfriend Cardigan – James Perse A few weeks ago Tea Collection asked me to take part in their “Across The Street, Across The Globe” series on their blog, and share one of my favorite spots in […]
As I said the other day, life’s been busy. April – June is usually a marathon sprint for us, and as much as the end of school year can be daunting and seem to be never ending, we’re trying to make the most of our last few days of busyness before Summer arrives. Yesterday Syd […]
