My last post on ways to prepare for baby two is comical. I’m so glad I wrote it. Remember that phrase: ‘Wanna hear god laugh? Tell him your plans’- it IS funny. We have been good. Living inside a tornado. Our new baby girl, Maeve, is a very good baby. Healthy, happy, and we haven’t been […]

In the days before baby 2
Just thinkin. Laying here 39 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl and wondering if there is a list somewhere of things I should/could be doing to prepare. Everything practical is ready and we have one week left…approximately. Already working from home. The needed stuff has been pulled out of storage, lovingly washed and folded […]
Bird Soup and Weekend Updates
Elle in the garden making soup for some birds. Shot with the Leica de-lux. The instrument that has made me feel like I’m always catching the good lighting. Some recent updates: Elle’s Dad has been in South Africa working this past week and nearly being trampled by a mop of elephants. True story and how […]
Saturday Night Live!
Two years ago, on an October date in Westerly Rhode Island, Jared and I made a wish: to go to Saturday Night Live before we leave NY. I never envisioned waiting in line at 4am but I did drop hints to friends in the industry and the universe. AND last Friday I got the call! […]
Elle’s
Early on in this blog I had mentioned its purpose to be a time capsule, our literal life on Broome. This particular day I came home and there was a special quality to the light in our apartment. I felt awash with gratitude, comfort and appreciation for all the beauty in it. Elle’s room especially. […]
The Whole30 because I’m over 30
Oh gosh do I know this is expected. After 30 years of age there is only a matter of time before you try a cleanse and want to tell your friends about it. And I am exponentially more predictable because I live in Manhattan..and I write a blog. Whatever, this is a success story. I […]
Learning to Sleep. Again.
This sweet Angel has been up half the night and so have I. She ceremoniously climbed out of her crib two weeks ago and we haven’t slept a full night since. The toddler transition into a big kid bed can be a struggle, it certainly was not the cake walk we hoped. However, last night […]
Sweetness of a pocket purse
“Look Mamma, look at my pieces!” she said. Filling her purse with first rocks then flowers. She wore her purse to school all week. ♥ just a little sweetness for this day
Uncle Boons
You know that restaurant that everyone loves, it gets rave reviews and its right by your house- so you never go? The two places like that for me are Raoul’s and Uncle Boons. Both took me approximately 3-5 years to finally go to but now they are my only favorites. SO, here is my Uncle […]
Hellooo? It’s me, Elle.
Ahhh, getting to know you Elle. I am singing this song in my mind: Julia Andrews and her chorus of children live in my head. It’s new since motherhood. It’s lovely actually. So- Elle is TALKING. All about the birds and the bees and the foods she eats. It’s the level of Italian I peaked […]
