Last night I attended the incredible, incredible R Baby Foundation Gala in NYC. My friend Julia Beck was being honored for all of her hard work and dedication to R Baby, and it was wonderful to see her accept her award and hear her beautiful speech. She’s a dynamo that one! I was equally honored to be asked to be [...]

I’m heading to the BEACH today! That’s right… sunny Destin, Florida… here I come! I simply cannot wait! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve just headed to the beach to relax and be a little carefree. I can’t wait to be beach and poolside bound for 2 days, I’m SO incredibly excited (especially since I’ll be with my best [...]

Being sick all last week wasn’t fun, but if there could have been a silver lining, it was that I got to spend some extra special time with the boys. I canceled all of my trips last week and appointments that were outside the house, so I was home, all week… non-stop. On Wednesday morning, Alexander called me into the [...]

Out of 365 days of a year, I try not to get sick. Try is the operative word there. Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do about a head cold knocking you down and out. I’ll tell you this… when I am, the house falls apart. Literally, apart. Here’s a little snippet of why I hate being sick in pictures… [...]

This morning we ALL woke up late. I mean, like… William needs to be at school at 8:30AM and I rolled over to see the numbers 8:13AM staring back at me. Talk about being in an instant-fast-forward mode, not fun for a Wednesday morning, not fun at all.  I know we hardly ever let this happen, but when it does [...]

I know I’ve said this before on my blog, but I’ll say it again. If you told me 7 years ago when I was pregnant with William (my first) that I would go on to have 3 more boys (in a row), I would have thought you were NUTS. Just plain NUTS. But 7 years later… here I am with [...]

Alexander was born into a family with an older brother that was exactly 12 months older than him.  By the time Alexander turned 2 years old, he had a 6 month old baby brother and I was pregnant with his littlest brother.  Long story short, this kid has never known what it’s like to be home… alone. Until now. Alexander [...]

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 [...]

10 Things You Should Know Before Committing to Running a School Halloween Party I’ve decided to become more involved this year at our school’s PTO. My husband warned me that I wasn’t going to have enough time, but I thought to myself… “I’ll show him…” My mother was able to do it with 4 kids and working full-time, why couldn’t [...]

How to make an Apple Crisp… words I never thought would be coming out of my mouth, at least not on my blog. I’m a fashion girl, not a foodie. But… after my Apple Crisp bake-off with my sister DISASTER… (you know, where I tried to pretend a boxed apple crisp recipe was homemade), I thought I’d go for it [...]
