Sunday night… wow, last Sunday night I was in the ER with Matt trying to figure out if he had the stomach flu. It’s pretty crazy to think that was a full week ago. Throughout the last week I feel like I’m learned a lot and sort of have a different outlook on things. I’ve always known that I’ve never [...]

Work, Life and Balance. Is there really such a thing? When I was a little girl, there were 2 things I really wanted to be. 1) A mother 2) Businesswoman. I never really knew what “business” meant as a little girl, but I remember driving through downtown Providence and looking up at the buildings (which I thought were gigantic at [...]

Today’s a Saturday of nothing. Nothing planned. Nothing to be at. Nothing to do. Nothing at all. And you know what? It feels INCREDIBLE!      

My grandson Benjamin turns 3 today. My sweet, darling, precious, beautiful, funny, loving, curious, caring, kind Benjamin. My Benjamin with the biggest blue eyes… the kind you just fall into like a magnificent river, lake or ocean. His eyes are all Time and Love and Life! Benjamin with the sweetest voice… he has the voice of an angel and we [...]

Being the oldest of 4 boys can’t be easy. Especially when your 3 younger brothers kept coming year after year after year (quite literally). William is my oldest son. He will be 5 years old on September 25th. It’s funny, even when I was pregnant with William, before I knew he was a “boy,” I KNEW he was a boy. [...]

There are moments in life where you know, this is a “moment.” This is something I will remember forever. And you then try as best as you can to tuck that “moment” into the depths of your heart and soul, so you won’t ever forget that exact moment. I had one of these “moments” on Thursday. And it’s funny… but [...]

My average day goes something like this – 6AM – Benjamin (my 2 year old) yelling to me (sometimes calling me “Audrey” and not “Mom”) from his crib, “Come get me!” As soon as Benjamin starts his morning “call”… the other boys are soon to follow. Like, within minutes. Henry. Alexander. And then, William. William is usually my “sleeper”… he’s [...]

In the past week, three of my NYC friends have lost their jobs. One is an investment banker. One’s in fashion. And another is a waitress. It’s scary. Are they married with families? The investment banker is. The fashion friend is. The waitress isn’t. It’s scary for all of them. The kind of scary where you think about selling your [...]

Yesterday afternoon, I hit the grocery store for a few items. And I mean, just a few because I was in a hurry. I was rather sailing down the the bread aisle when I almost took out an older gentleman who was reaching for a loaf of rye bread. How did I know it was rye? He dropped it as [...]

With William and Alexander’s birthdays being this past week, I scoured through tons and tons of photos of them throughout the past 4 years. These are my precious memories captured in time. The moments I won’t forget. The faces that have changed and grown. It was amazing going through the photos… Or, I should say… the folders upon folders upon [...]
