As I sit down to write this post, it’s beginning to snow outside and we are in the full holiday swing! Today is the first night of Hanukkah and Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. Chloe is at an age where she is starting to “get” the holidays a bit more, and she…

This past weekend, we took on perhaps our greatest parenting challenge yet – potty training! One of Chloe’s greatest gifts is her adaptability. She takes change in stride and we’ve often found that she handles the “cold turkey” method of just about every shift we’ve made pretty well. Solid food? We just started feeding it…

Looking back at photos from this month, I forgot how much stuff actually happened! Most of it was great, but we did have a bit of Covid that took me and Chloe out for a week (everyone was feeling good, but going a bit crazy with quarantine). We started the month with a visit to…

I can’t believe summer is already over. I am writing this with the warm sun streaming through my window, but fall is around the corner and we just tried on Chloe’s Halloween costume to make sure it fits. August was a bit of a whilrwind. I was gone for a couple of work trips, but…

July was a whirlwind of a month filled with family, friends and a lot of sunshine! We kicked off the month with Chloe’s first visit to a carnival. Dobbs Ferry was celebrating 150 years and had a classic carnival on the waterfront, filled with midway rides and cotton candy. We figured we would take this…

My sweet Chloe Grace is two years old. I simultaneously cannot believe we ever lived a day without her, but also feel like she was being put in my arms yesterday. Motherhood is truly a wild ride – things come at you fast and you feel like time is slipping through your fingers, but you…

I was terrible at updating this space during the month of May because we were incredibly busy! We had my parents in town for about 5 days, a birthday party, a bat mitzvah, and a trip to Texas! It was a jam-packed month spent with family, which is just how we like it 🙂 For…

Other parents love to tell you their opinions about the phases of childhood, and it’s a mixed bag. They either want you to savor the phase you’re in because it’s “the best” or they warn you against an impending doom that comes with the next phase. I think one of the most common phrases I’ve…

The days are finally starting to warm up and the world is starting to thaw. I always feel so energized by springs. The flowers are blooming and it feels like there is so much potential! We’ve made it through winter – let’s party! We’ve started to spend more time outside, going on walks and, when…

Chloe has been quite the world traveler lately. We got back from Texas just in time for Easter weekend. I felt Chloe was old enough to do a proper Easter egg hunt, so we tried out the local town hunt. My hopes were not incredibly high, but it was pretty well managed and Chloe was…
