Piper Jane’s little friend.

Lacy’s little baby Lucas was a hit with the pip. Just look at this smile she beamed as I positioned them to go down the slide together. That is the number 1 cutest happiest care-freeiest smile of all time. It says “I’m happy! I’m having fun with my friend! I like life!”. “I’m holding you [...]

Piper Jane is a puzzler.

I usually like to just hang with Pip and do our own thing while I’m there, but every once in a while it’s nice to sit in on PT, OT or speech. A few weeks ago, Pip and I went over to the therapy village for OT and we got to do puzzles, legos and [...]

My monday

I arrived in Pip’s room to see this sleepy head. Speaking of her head, it was buried deep into a crack in the bed. I love that Piper Jane sleeps like a little weirdo, just like any kid does.Fact: I used to sleep with my bum way up in the air. When I nannied I [...]

Suvies for my Pip.

The Tate Modern museum gift shop is amazing. I bought some Christmas presents and also a bunch of books for Pip. They were just so adorable and beautifully illustrated, I can’t wait to read them to her a million times. These will be replacing The Foot Book and The Cat in the Hat that have [...]

Happy Flamingo Halloween!

SO, at the very last second, Pip’s costume failed me. She was going to be an adorable friendly monster, and I ordered some furry fabric online. But when I opened it, it was too furry. It was shedding everywhere and I immediately thought of her trach. No way. No fur. SO mega last minute costume [...]

Little Pip sleeps in

Before I went to London, I took a trip early early up to see Pip. It was supposed to be my day off, but I had a work thing in Brooklyn. I normally wouldn’t have been able to see Piper the same day as work because of parking and traffic, but because it was in [...]

Piper Jane smiles again.

Look who is her chipper self again! This visit wiped me out. Piper Jane had decided earlier that day, that when I got there she was going to see how many times she could dive off her bed. If I so much as slightly lingered a blink, my eyes would be opened to a Pip [...]

My new jacket! hooray!

Guys! I got a new jacket! Cool right? I love new jackets. Isn’t that really special and interesting? Remember last year when I got that navy blue dress with white polka dots from the Alexa Chung for Madwell line? She just came out with another collection, and I got this jacket! It’s the only thing [...]

Dearest Weekend, it took you long enough.

This work week has crawled! I am so anxious for this weekend, even though I’m working so much of it. The film I’m hair-ing for on Sunday is wrapping at 2am! But, I’m still excited for tomorrow, because Piper Jane and I really need each other. I’m planning on booking it up to B-dale as [...]

thanks y’all.

I’m sure we’ll (Piper) adjust quickly. The good news is that they are caring for her like they should, and she still has the same therapists and teachers as before. Hooray. I’ve been feeling just so bummed about it the last few days, and writing it all down helps. The weather is still yoo-mid here! It [...]
