This morning, after dropping off Pea at Mother’s Day Out at her preschool, Coco and I headed to Target to pick up a few odds and ends. While in line at the Starbuck’s inside, I turned around and bumped into, quite literally, another mother from Pea’s school. And not just any mother, but Pea’s classroom [...]

We don’t watch too much TV in our house. There are a few shows Pea is allowed to watch, the obvious ones, such as “Barney” and “Sesame Street.” Lately, though, it’s been all about “Dora the Explorer,” which until recently has been a show that would quite literally make my head explode. I found Dora [...]

Most of the Sunday’s that I can recall from my childhood were spent being dragged around by mother to art galleries or art fairs or art museums. This is not an exaggeration. GiGi is passionate about art. Major milestones were always marked with a piece of art, whether it be something she created herself, or [...]

“She started it!” “Don’t tell me what to do!” No, you go away!” All things you would expect to hear from a two-and-a-half year old, right? That would be par for the Terrible Two course, right? Ah, but you would be wrong. So very, very wrong. These are three things that my husband has pointed [...]

Last year, my mother-in-law sent over a table and a set of four chairs from Pottery Barn Kids for Pea. Let’s just say that although the table and chairs get a lot of use now, last year, the most popular part about it was the giant box it came in. My husband dragged it into [...]

Everyday Yogini is still going strong with her 5-Minute Gratitude Saturdays, and so am I. The holidays are coming up on us so quickly and it just helps me, every Saturday, to sit down and focus on the wonderful things going on for my family and myself. It helps me gain perspective, get calm and [...]

We are nothing if not readers in this house. And although my novel consumption has decreased drastically in the years since becoming a mom, I have definitely made up for it with my passion for children’s books. I love them. Classics. Board books. Classic board books. Classic board books in Spanish. And French. And sometimes [...]

There’s not a lot of time in my house for me and my immensely intricate grooming habits these days. If I want to get in a shower, I need to do it somewhere around 6:30 in the morning, before the girls are up, because once they start calling for me, my chance to bathe is [...]

Thank you all so much for the awesome comments you left on yesterday’s post. I cannot tell you how much that just made my day! I am so genuinely grateful and I have to say, this whole blogging thing? It’s just pretty damn cool.

This week has been brutal. And it’s only Wednesday. Pea is healthy. The rest of us? Down for the count. My husband came home from Connecticut with an ear infection and a sinus infection. He was met at the front door by his wife, who also had a sinus infection. And then, he was handed [...]

So I write my blog about my life. My life is probably different than your life. Or maybe not. A few things about me: I am a mother to two gorgeous little girls; I am fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom; my husband works very, very hard for his family, and for that I [...]

I love to shop at Target. I don’t know a mother who doesn’t. You can find everything under the sun there, and it’s all going to be pretty chic, too. I don’t know how they manage to do it, get in all of these really cutting edge designers and have them design really affordable pieces [...]

In keeping with the Everyday Yogini’s practice of weekly gratitude leading up to the holidays, here is my 5-minute gratitude list for today: I am grateful for Pea’s ability to withstand a horrible ear infection coupled with a very high fever for days and days and days and never let it affect her sunny disposition.
