So I tried the chocolate chip lactation cookies at work a few weeks ago when a friend & fellow breastfeeding mom made them to share. While they were oh so delicious, she mentioned that they were also packed with tons of butter (this was after I had already stuffed my face with at least half […]

I cannot believe London is already one years old! (It seems like I just wrote this .) To celebrate, we had a first birthday party with family and friends. I decided on a theme reflecting two of London’s favorite things–milk & cookies. And then maybe I went a little overboard. But it was all so […]

Leo’s t-shirt: The Southern Bow | Leo’s Shoes: See Kai Run | Invitation: Csquared Design Co.  | Cake + Cookies + Smash Cake Pastry Shells I’ll never forget Leo’s birth. Lew and I stayed up late the night before eating ice cream and catching up on Game of Thrones. I started having contractions during the […]

I put on something other than Lew’s t-shirt today and felt like a new woman. Because sometimes motherhood looks like three days without a shower. Sometimes it looks like the same top knot from last week and breakfast for dinner because you haven’t had a chance to get groceries. Some days motherhood is repeating yourself […]

Snacking On The Go It seems like we are always on the go! Errands, track practice, piano practice, more errands, more activities, play dates, gym etc. And wherever we are the boys want a snack. I literally have snacks everywhere. In my purse, in the car, in their backpacks. I even found a pack of […]

There are no adequate words to describe what meeting your child for the first time is like. But here’s a short summary of one of the best days of my life: Before it all started: I spent most of the day frantically organizing our house (for the hundredth time that week) while Lewis worked from […]

Sometimes towards the end of the day I’ve had to stop and ask myself, “have I even had any water today??” It’s embarrassing, but too many times the answer has been no. And I’m not completely convinced I’ve done my best in making sure the boys have had enough to drink either. We all usually […]
