On  a gorgeous winter day when the weather was unseasonably balmy, we packed up the kids and headed to the park to blow off some steam. I grabbed my camera on the off chance that I’d be able to get a Christmas card worthy shot of the girls playing. OK. If we’re honest, I also dressed them nicely. They played … read more

I am about to write a sentence that I never thought I’d utter: I miss exercise. Now that I’m in my third trimester, I don’t have the energy to hit the gym like I used to, and I know I need to slow down. The thing is, that’s hard to accept, especially as my body stretches to new widths and … read more

Bump Month Chat: Getting Your Home Ready for Baby

I was lucky. When I was pregnant with my first, I worked part time at Pottery Barn Kids. I had a tremendously helpful employee discount. And I knew everything about readying your house for baby. When couples came to me to register, I’d advise them: register for everything. Everything. When else will you ever get a chance to ask for … read more

The first time I ever heard of Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) was my freshman year of college. There was this “girl band” called the Spice Girls that seemed to dominate the radio. Truth be told, I actually really liked them. Their music was definitely pop. It had a fun, fast beat to it. And best of all, their music … read more

I’ve been dreading the decision-making involved in creating a baby registry because I feel under-informed and overwhelmed, but this week I spent an evening at Buy Buy Baby with two mom friends, and it was actually fun. I mean, the scan-gun alone is pretty entertaining. In between picking out bottles (Dr. Brown’s or BornFree?), baby baths (one that works in … read more

I remember being terrified bringing William to his first day of Kindergarten this past September. I wasn’t terrified that he wouldn’t do well without us. I wasn’t terrified that he wouldn’t like the kids in his class. I wasn’t terrified that he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the lessons. I was terrified because I didn’t know who his … read more
