This post has been sponsored by Johnson’s®. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Until I was old enough to brush my own hair regularly, my mom had a rule: “If you complain while I brush it, we cut it.” Basically, I had short hair until I was seven or eight—which might explain why I’ve…
Twenty eight feels like entering the very end of my twenties. At twenty seven I could be just a bit over twenty five but now I’m closer to the big 3-0 than the quarter of a century milestone. I’m trying to embrace it. By thirty, Ben will be a year and a half into his…

Thanks to OXO Tot for sponsoring this city moms post and making life a little easier! One thing moving to Boston has made me realize is that being a city mom is different from being a mom in the suburbs. (or at least being a mom in an apartment is quite different from…
Adelaide’s bottoms + top // My bottoms + top Sometime soon after we booked our tickets to California for this summer, I realized I hadn’t bought a non-maternity swim suit (or one for something other than a 1 month post-partum body) in FOUR years. And I realized Adelaide didn’t have a swim suit at all….

Abdominal separation. It’s no joke. In the eight months of not being pregnant between baby #1 and baby #2, my abdominals never came back together. And eight weeks after Adelaide was born I checked my gap and could fit THREE fingers between my left and right abs. Pretty soon after that, I began really looking…
Are you tired of New England leaf pictures yet? No? Good, because that top one of Lincoln and this next one of Adelaide might be my favorite pictures form the entire month. So many things that I love wrapped up in each image. Ben had an interview and a friend from overseas heading to Boston…

Our last date as a family of three early in the summer was to our favorite little downtown cafe one Saturday morning. Lincoln and I split a chocolate chip muffin and ate it so quickly we got a second before Ben had even finished his sandwich. This time around we ordered three from the get-go…

Some days as a mother prove to be great birth control for future children. Some days I am very tempted to put both babies in their cribs and hide out in the car with the stereo turned up (I haven’t yet). Some days I am jealous of a husband who goes off to work with…
Yesterday my morning started at 4 am when little Elle woke up to eat. We were both asleep by 4:45 but back up again at 5:45, 6:00, 6:15, and at 6:45 I gave up and let the day begin. Lincoln was up within the hour and his sister would not give us a break. She…
