One Sunday morning in New York, my room mates and I grabbed some coffee and started a trek uptown to the 101st street ASPCA. We’d been tossing around the idea of getting a dog (much to Katie and Amy’s dismay, but they were studying abroad at the time and we wanted a puppy, dammit) and we thought we’d go check… Read more →

Timi & Leslie Diaper Bags
The Mini Social is having an insane sale (as low as 99$) on Timi & Leslie diaper bags (and travel bags,) and some of them are so effing swank, I just had to share. If I didn’t already have my super sweet Stella McCartney bag, I’d be buying one for sure – probably that white one. (If you’re not a… Read more →

How Patriotic Are You?
Patriotic enough to wear these hand-made Old Glory Boob Tassles (aka pasties) from BedroomBeauties Etsy Shop? Because I think they’re pretty creative. (Nah, I’m not buying them – but you should be my guest.) Our fourth was spent chowing down on delicious BBQ with some of our nearest and dearest. Since we didn’t want Katie’s mind to explode from jealousy,… Read more →
The “Before.”
And so it begins. Over the weekend we FINALLY got into the storage room downstairs and were able to commence operation “prepare nursery for baby.” It’s scary shit. The photos above depict both the newly filled storage room, a.k.a. where excess mid-century furniture goes to die (does it make you cringe to consider that all of that crap was somehow… Read more →
Sweet Dreams.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder who they’re marketing towards with modern baby furniture. Like the Ooba Nest Bassinet, for example. Okay Ooba, you got me. I want your bassinet. It’s beautiful, elegant, matches my existing decor, and turns into a toybox/play table when baby is done with it. But you’ve priced it at $800. I feel compelled to ask: … Read more →
Some seriously freaky shit.
Sometimes (like yesterday, when I finish a very long blog post) I think to myself: “I have way too much free time.” But then I see things like this, and I’m certain that there are people in this world who have more free time (and longer attention spans, and less body dysmorphia) than I do.

Make Way for Ducklings
One of the best things about being in NY for the week is that Marissa, Todd, Eva, and Lolo are here with us. Today (when the rain subsided) we took the girls to the park by Aunt Judy’s house (who has generously offered to put up our entire clan for the week, Grandma and Grandpa included) to feed some Goose… Read more →
