Magic Beans // Open in Fairfield, CT! This past weekend we had a first look at the new Magic Beans store in Fairfield, CT. Its a super quick 15 minute ride from our house and its every mom/parent/caretaker/kids dream store. I remember when we lived in Rhode Island and I was pregnant with G, the […]
Wordless Wednesday // Sisters So, this will not be wordless. It never is. Most mornings we are up, gasp, before 6am. That leaves a lot of time to fill up our day. I like to ease into the morning. I’ve never been a morning person. Now, G, my first born must have inherited my moms […]
A Girls First Haircut G is three years and three months old and on March 1, 2014, she had her first haircut. I called my salon earlier in the week and set up an appointment. I feared taking her to a chain-type of place especially for a first haircut. I have such horrible memories of […]
Must Have Baby Items {Second Born} Now that I’m a mom of two, I feel like I have such a better sense about what a person really needs for a baby. With my first born, I had a huge baby shower and registered at a few places for a ton of stuff that I thought […]
The F Word OOPS! There are bad days. Things build up. No one said it would be easy, right? We moved…again. Val was born {amazing} then sleep was at an all time low. Val was waking to nurse, G was waking because she was in another new place. Anxiety had peeked all around. Some days […]
Sunday Scones Even though its smack dab in the dead of winter and high quality fresh fruit is at a premium price, sometimes I splurge and buy some. Last week the local market had a pretty good sale on strawberries. We hadn’t had any in so long, they looked good, and the price was right. […]
Night Potty Training Okay, so G is totally potty trained for day time. Over Christmas break we just waved goodbye to the diapers, flipped the changing table into a bureau and went full on to undies. We had been on and off this potty roller coaster since April of 2013, but then we moved, and […]

Remember last month I started a new beauty box subscription with Beauty Box 5? Here is what I got in my November, December, and January. This months box certainly did not disappoint! Two bottles of […]
Where Did We Move To? Snowmageddon! I am nearly 35 years old. Gasp…now you know. Its funny, I use to really like snow. I was single, and didn’t have children to entertain. I enjoyed winter activities. Now, factor in children and a driveway to deal with and I just don’t have the same love for […]
