Slice-of-life stories about parenthood
This past week while we were in Mexico, I may or may not have found a way to sneak in a margarita and a pina colada, but as you know I'm a wine girl. And that didn't change just because I was south of the border. So in honor of our getaway, I figured I'd share a wine we enjoyed there. … [Read more...]
Obsessed. I'm not sure that word begins to cover Big's love of sports. His first word was "ball" and there are very few moments in a day when you can find him without one on hand. … [Read more...]
When I was in kindergarten, my mom's friend told her that if I didn't learn to speak up, I'd never make it in this world. … [Read more...]
This past year, Lenny has done more than his fair share of business travel. It can be hard on all of us, but we've found a few things to make the time apart a bit more interesting. Hopefully if you find yourself in my worn out slippers, they'll help put a smile on the little faces in your house too. … [Read more...]

Whether you're headed over the river and through the woods or up, up and away this holiday season, traveling with kids can be daunting. When Big was a baby, we took to the skies most of the time.

When I was a little girl, I remember thinking our local boutique toy store was magical. There were toys I'd never seen in commercials, and I could touch and experience them all before deciding what I wanted. Now, as a mom, I love that my kids are able to enjoy that same experience at our local favorite, Cheeky Monkey.
