Labor day

We skipped off to a friend’s house in Connecticut for the long weekend. It was the perfect tiny vacation because it was the same distance to Piper’s house as it is from our apartment, so we still got to spend every day with her. It’s crazy that you can be so close to the city [...]

Pip hugs her mama

I know I’m doing things opposite, by beginning this post with the grand finale picture, but I just can’t help myself. On Friday, I taught Piper Jane how to hug, and we were able to work on it a little bit over the weekend. I was worried I’d have to go over it a lot [...]

Piper Jane videos. (it’s been a while)

Here are a few hilarious videos of my little P-body. This first one is from Saturday. We have recently discovered that Piper Jane hates, I’m talking really hates, when her princesses are standing up. I first noticed it when Audrie had nicely lined them up in a row only to have them havoc-ly wreaked on [...]

Pippy plays guitar (and with princesses)

These pictures are from last Friday and today. I’m feeling too lazy to write anything fancy (running and a busy salon are taking over me), but I want to look at some pictures with munchkins in them. And I thought maybe you’d like to, too. If you don’t have a dunkin’ donuts near you, then [...]

Piper shows us a good weekend (and shows you her monkey card)

Saturday: We laid on the floor so I could put the mother in smother. (Tah-dah, monkey card! Isn’t it so cute? It’s also hairy.) I read (and Piper kicked) a Bargain for Frances. Which is probably my top 5 favorite children’s books. Frances is pretty scrappy and she is always singing songs. You have to [...]

An odd question.

Would you still have got as much time to yourself for getaways and running and looking as ‘put together’ as you do if your daughter stayed at home. obviously not, do you feel guilty about that? I don’t feel guilty, and here is why… I was given a very healthy and strong body. I am [...]

Questions. About Me and Jake.

Here are a bunch of questions that were asked about me and Jake. Again, there are some that I won’t be addressing, but hopefully you’ll find these interesting or something. This post ended up being very long. Where are you from? Jake? What are your backgrounds? I say I’m from East Tennessee (near Knoxville), because [...]

It’s thursday

Yay, Thursday is basically Friday. For me at least, sorry it might not be basically Friday for you. Bummer though, because I have a job tomorrow and I don’t think I’ll be able to see pip. Maybe in the afternoon, I’m hoping. Anyway, it’s going to be a really fun shoot with kids and bright [...]

Want to help?

Guys, my friend and running partner is raising money for charity and getting ready to run the NYC Marathon this year. She is supporting a great cause and has pledged to raise $3,000. She can do it, I know she can. Can you help her? You see, it will also be helping me, because Leslie [...]

Reagan and Jake have a dog (for a min.)

This isn’t really our dog, but we luh-huv him. Bear is our friends’ dog, and we’ve been watching him since Friday while they are away with family. He has been the best dog slash guest. Having a dog is a big job, especially in the city, but Jake might eventually go for it….(when we are [...]
