I remember loving the bath as a kid. Rubber duckie, squirting seal, mermaid dolls and warm bubbles… delightful. I’m sure my memories are from age three or later, but for some reason I imagined that all little ones like the bath. Not baby June. When we registered for baby things, I didn’t pay much attention to toys, except for the … read more

My goal with breastfeeding was to make it to six months, and I’ve met it! If you’ve been reading this blog since my early struggles, you know that’s no small feat. Yay! But now… I’m kind of ready to get some help in this whole “source of sustenance” role. While I’ll continue to nurse June daily, I’d like to give … read more

The solid food advice was great—thank you! Our doctor has advised us to blend up some of what we’re eating so she can try everything (except honey). I’m excited—we start tonight! But at this doctor’s visit, something else came up: Naps. I mentioned that June was only taking two very brief naps a day (20-30 minutes). The doctor gasped. “Babies … read more

This weekend we had NOTHING to do. No basketball. No swim meets. No birthday parties. No playdates. Nothing. And it’s WONDERFUL! Sometimes you just need a weekend of nothingness. My sons wanted to draw and color, so we decided to have some extra fun with them. We bought a large ream of paper and traced them… let me tell you, … read more

Next week, June will be six months old! I can hardly believe it. One thing I’m really excited about is: Solid Food. Of course, it’s not truly “solid” — more like mush (so why do they call it “solid”?). Anyway, we’re about to get the talk from the doctor’s office about how to start her out on this culinary path. … read more

What To Do When You Have a Bad Hair Color Yup… I’m speaking from experience. Not always a fun place to be at. Last Friday afternoon I went to my usual salon to get my hair highlighted. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get an appointment with my usual girl, so I had to make an appointment with another colorist. I … read more

You know I love sharing the latest trends, especially straight from the lips of a talented makeup artist. Yesterday while in NYC during a video shoot, I could not get over seeing SO MANY women wearing orange lipstick. I mean, they were out in full force with these gorgeous, light orange lips. It was beautiful. The makeup artist at the … read more

        I feel like I had a team of design experts helping solve the toy clutter problem last week–thanks for your great ideas! This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about Beyoncé. Okay, I know that sounds crazy, but it’s her first week as a mom, and no matter how much help she and Jay-Z have with … read more

Shellac update. My Shellac post from last week got more responses than I imagined! I have had emails pouring into me asking how the Shellac has been holding up after all this time. So… I thought I’d update everyone today on it because I’m very impressed. As I mentioned before, I was a little apprehensive paying for the Shellac manicure … read more

        June is nearing six months old now, and she loves to roll around on the floor from toy to toy, pushing her bright yellow bee to make him sing and rattling her plastic keys to watch their googly eyes spin. We’ve even got a play center she can sit it, ready to go as soon as … read more
