Happy Right Now This is Grey's favorite book at the moment. We read it over and over and over, so much so that the cover has come off and now the cover pages are beginning to disappear as well. This book has an amazing message and as she's gotten older it's helped Grey realize things [...]
Last year I wrote about my favorite Valentine's day gift ideas for the lady in your life. To my surprise, my husband and I were totally on the same page because he got me one of the things on the list, and it happened to be the thing I wanted the most - a name [...]
I can't believe that I'm typing this, but Grey turned one this week. Last weekend we got our family and friends together in a snowy West Chester, PA to celebrate our little girl. I had been gathering ideas for this party for the last few months and changed my mind a few times on what [...]
Well, it took some time, but I finally am ready for Grey. After her living here for 9 months, I finally feel ready for her to live in her room. Don't worry, she's been sleeping in her crib for quite some time...with the exception of every night this week when the ear infection from hell [...]
Day 6: Hedwig I know, I know...we skipped quite a few days. When your dryer is down for a week, it's hard to get any outfits prepared. Next time I do anything like this I'm planning a month in advance and having things selected and prepped before the day it's needed. Hopefully I can get [...]
Day 3: Ballerina I thought, what better way to celebrate World Ballet Day than to dress Grey up in the cutest little ballerina dress that she got from my Aunt Jeanie. I've been waiting for her to finally fit into this, and I happen to slip into my now broken dryer before it died. This [...]
Day 3: Turning Turtle Cue Meryl Streep. One thing I really wanted to dress Grey up as for the last 2 months was a turtle. I knew she would be rolling over soon, and in September - right on James and my anniversary - she rolled. Just in time for this perfect baby halloween costume. [...]
Day 1: Jack-o-lantern Spooky Szn is in full effect, and Grey is getting in the Halloween Spirit with Mama this year. Every time I go to Target I have to walk her down the Halloween isle just because I love to see her face light up when she sees the bright oranges and purples. I [...]
I can't decide what movie to put on while sitting at home drinking a homemade PSL. Here, toggling back and forth between my work computer and my cell phone, I have to stop what I'm doing every few minutes to do a wellness check on my daughter. While she's normally pretty content in her rock-and-play [...]
During my birthday this year, as I reflect on the last year of my 20's, I'm not sure how life can get better. James and I have excelled in our careers, announced a pregnancy, had a beautiful baby girl and are constantly being surprised and humbled by parenthood. I've never been scared of the number [...]
