Our first snow accumulation of the season turned out to be quite a big deal! We woke up to deserted, snow covered streets on Saturday morning and a travel ban in effect. I didn’t think we were going to get more than half a foot given the non-event in 2015 (when everything was shut but… Continue reading :: Weekends :: Jonas
It’s a brand new year and I am starting it on the right foot by booking a holiday to St. Lucia. It makes me very happy given the lack of travel in the last 6 months! If I have to describe 2014 in one word it would be FAMILY. It was a good year for us and… Continue reading :: Editorial :: Happy New Year!
This Christmas marks our third in the U.S.; time has really flown by. Clover loves Christmas and surprisingly it’s not because of presents (she gets two presents tops). To her, Christmas involves of picking out a tree, decorating it as a family and of course Santa and his reindeer. Perhaps it’s because I hardly take Clover… Continue reading :: Weekends :: Tree Shopping
On Sunday we headed out to the NY Hall of Science in Queens for the festive Gingerbread Lane exhibit. Being on the road bright and earl meant not having to deal with cross town traffic in Manhattan. And guess what? Since we arrived before 11am, entry AND parking were free. The outside of the building were marked by 2 rockets donated… Continue reading :: Weekends :: Hall of Science
… a mother of two on maternity leave. Obviously only when all the stars are aligned and it all goes well. 6 a.m. Time to get up, hopefully both kids are still asleep, get the kettle on, prep breakfast for C and a snack for preschool 6.30 a.m. Wake the husband. Ava is usually wakes… Continue reading :: Life :: A day in the life of…
Growing up I never really bothered with Halloween; neither did Mr. P. As previously mentioned, October 31st has now become a big deal. Last year C went as Dorothy the Dinosaur (from The Wiggles). This year, she couldn’t decide so she went as Anna for her school Halloween Parade in the morning. After our lovely… Continue reading :: Bubba :: Halloween 2014
It’s kinda a big deal around here given that it’s our anniversary! 5 years, 2 kids, a big international move and a new home later, marrying Mr. P is still the best decision of my life. (Even if some days I don’t like him very much and want to throttle him! #justsaying) Halloween is also… Continue reading :: Life :: October 31st
There is a “How many kids should you have?” quiz making its round on Facebook. I took it, received a result of ONE and promptly tagged Mr. P. He ended up with THREE. Uttering one of Clover’s frequently used phrases (of late), “NO WAY JOSE!!” I truly, truly hate the infant stage. As mentioned earlier just… Continue reading :: Motherhood :: No. 3?
The Autumnal Equinox is on September 22, which made Saturday and Sunday the last weekend of Summer. Unfortunately, Clover came down with a slight cold and cough (likely due to the changing weather). We skipped ballet since as I didn’t want her to pass it on to other kids in an enclosed space (and make… Continue reading :: Weekends :: Last Summer Weekend of 2014
Dear Clover, My precious first born, we had a rough start you and I. There were many dark days and nights because I wasn’t ready (and no one truly is) to be so needed by a helpless little being. And you, well you were just doing your best to adjust to the strange world around… Continue reading :: Bubba :: To my darling Clover
