While we got James to drop the pacifier months ago, the bottle has been a harder habit to break. I partly blame myself. As I’ve mentioned before, the baby to toddler transition has been tough for me. I don’t want…
The Pain of Infertility
God, I really never thought I’d be writing a post like this. I thought I was one of the lucky ones. The ones whose husbands looked at them and they got pregnant. Trust, I’ve had to deal with a lot…
Our Hamptons Vacation Diary
Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA, but we just got back from a week in the Hamptons and I really took advantage of the chance to savor time with our little family and catch up with friends. I’m not gonna…
Motherhood Mondays: Is it Possible That the Terrible Twos Are Coming Early?
So I always assumed that James would remain my sweet little angle until at least two and that I wouldn’t have to worry about tantrums or screaming until his second birthday, but I feel like either I have an overachiever…
How We Got James to Drop the Pacifier
I’d like to start this post on getting rid of the pacifier by saying, this is what worked for us and I am in no way a parenting expert, nor do I judge anyone who hasn’t stopped the paci yet…
Reflections on My Second Mother’s Day
I can’t believe Sunday was my second ever Mother’s Day. In honor of the day, I wanted to share some reflections on my second Mother’s Day. It’s amazing how much more confident in the role of mom I feel and how…

So James Called Our Nanny “Mama”
And I’m devastated. I tried to play it cool and pretend like I wasn’t shocked/horrified/appalled/devastated, but I couldn’t really hide it. I mean the child called the nanny mom! I also saw my nanny’s face light up like I did…
Highlights From Our Long Weekend Upstate
Although this is technically our second winter with James, this is the first one where we can really introduce him to some of my favorite parts about the winter: snow and winter sports. We decided to hold off a little…
Winter Weekend Mornings
Saturday mornings are my absolute favorite. Even though we are lucky if we get to sleep past 7a.m. on weekends these days, I love getting up early with James and Dakota, cuddling while I drink my coffee and James has…
Merry Christmas 2017 From My Family to Yours
This year, we decided to get professional photos taken both for our Christmas cards (which I failed to send last year) and to document our little family while James is still a baby. I’m so glad we did. It was…
