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 [...]

Piper plays with Audrie

Audrie and Abbie came up to meet Piper Jane on Friday. As usual, Pip was curious with her new little friend and spent the visit trying to poke her in the eye and pull the buttons off of her shirt. I kept pointing out Audrie’s amazing patience with Pippy and how I couldn’t believe it, [...]

Piper Jane plays with Hannah

Today Piper Jane met the beautiful Hannah. Hanna came all the way from Queens to meet this Pip, and she was all over her. It was heaven for my chicky-pip. She left my lap over and over for Hannah’s, she showed Hannah her toys and she only took her eyes off of her new friend [...]

Charleston: Boone Plantation and Sailing. I sail.

I think Saturday was my favorite day in Charleston. We went to the Boone Plantation and wandered around looking at the beautiful trees. One of the things I was looking forward to most with my return to SC was the spanish moss that grows on the trees. It makes everything look like a fairy tale. [...]

Charleston: a really big A’ tree

Jon suggested we go to this tree in Charleston that is the oldest tree east of the Mississippi. It is so massive, so beautiful, so remarkable and so magical that I talked about it nonstop for the rest of my life. That is why I am posting so many pictures. It is my favorite tree [...]

Charleston: crabs

We just got back from a little vacation to Charleston, South Carolina. I had been looking forward to the trip all summer, especially when things were so busy that I nearly exploded. The only reason I didn’t explode was thanks to the Charleston thoughts. I’m pretty sure at least.. Anyway, my (really they’re our’s, but [...]

Harriet’s pet pea

my amazing and hilarious friend, Andrea, has a children’s story up at Smories. they found the cutest little british kid in the world to read it (it’s a short video). you should go look! http://www.smories.com/watch/harriets_pet_pea/ It might help to mention that Andrea is majoring in creative writing at Columbia University. Fancy Smarty pants…

mermaids on parade. booyah.

let’s start with a little back story. as long as i can remember (sometimes as far as before i could walk!) i have loved mermaids. mildly obsessed is putting it very mildly. that is kind of embarrassing to admit, however, it’s true. when i was really small i would put rubber bands around my ankles [...]

roomies.

My friend aubrey is moving to Arizona soon, boo. But yay that her lease ended in may and we were able to be roomies for a week. And it was her birthday. So I threw her a small party. with cake. and party hats (courtesy of the little pip). party monsters. Aubrey was the best [...]

Erin Bo-Berin

My sister Erin had some flight credits to use and so she used them to see me (and piper jane and jake too, I guess). It was a very stress-free trip seeing as how they decided to stay in a hotel the days we were working. I wish we could see each other more often. [...]
