First Dance

Almost makes me want to get married.
I’ve asked my good friend Jen to do this at her wedding next fall.  I’ll keep you posted.

The latest fashion

In hopes of getting my father something he’ll actually like for xmas, I ask my stepmother what she thinks I should get for him. Her reply…
“He’s been asking for a sweater vest”
Her answer was so random and so unlike my father, I literally laughed out loud. Given the fact I’m super lazy, especially [...]

You can do it!

The Lady (part 1)

Maggie is in a phase now, where after two seconds of trying she immediately gives up and says “I can’t do it”. “Just try”, I say. “I can’t” she responds.
This frequent exchange drives me crazy. It bothers me that she gives up so easily and feels that [...]

Beirut: Sunday Smile

I’ve never hidden my love for Beirut and Zach Condon. I believe I mentioned in my last blog, when I met him I was slightly drunk and went on and on to him about how I first heard of their music on a web based radio station. Not exactly intelligent conversation. He’s [...]

Maybe I know what I’m doing afterall.

Her: Mommy, I’m sorry I don’t listen
Me: I know, I’m sorry I’m so mean
Me: Are we even?
Her: Yeah, even (too bad she has no clue what that means)
Her: We’re best friends!
Me: Best friends forever!
Her: Best friends forever, Alright, YAY!
Sometimes being a parent fucking rocks!

Then I spent an hour laughing with my daughter as we traded turns tickling each [...]

I heart NYC (part two)

 

 

Flying into LaGuardia airport you pass over the city and the view is tremendous. From the sky, NYC looks toy-like, innocent, you should have nothing to fear. Once you get in the city, it will kick your ass and then the punch you in the face for good measure. I’ve always said living [...]

Just in time for winter

My girl Angie over at the Effie Girlie Finerie is raffling off some new scarves she’s created. Leave a comment and you’re open for a chance to win.
They’re beautiful, I love the silk and linen herringbone and the Pendleton herringbone wool with green suede trim.
The question is do you keep it for yourself or [...]

I heart NYC (part one)

I wish I could go through bit by bit everything that happened this weekend, but a two-day hangover is impairing my memory and thought process.
All I can say is those three days felt like a week and I loved every minute of it. Seeing people that fill my life with happiness and love was [...]
