Gender Reveal…

What?! You should’ve seen our faces when reading over the results. Dumbfounded is a good word. While I just knew Lilly was a girl from day one and would’ve fallen off the table if they had told me differently, I wasn’t that sure this time around, it could’ve gone either way for me. Still, I…

Lilly’s Room Reveal

Well, you chose it all and we did it! It’s just taken me quite awhile (after a few backordered items finally arrived) to put the finishing touches together, photograph and share it. But, without further ado, may I present to you: Lilly’s Big Girl Room Reveal!  (Above pillows: stripe, bunny, knit apple, dream) It went from this to this… Bye bye crib, hello…

Mixed Emotions About Will

Will Smith has always been one of my favorite celebrities. I interviewed and hung out with him several times over the course of my career. He was one of my first assignments. As a young intern, I covered the Live 8 concert in our mutual hometown of Philadelphia. I was incredibly nervous and he welcomed…

My Wish for Lilly and Her Unborn Brother

In two weeks (we hope), we’ll officially be a family of four. It’s so surreal. It’s been just the three of us for so long, I’ve been pregnant for what seems like an eternity and so much has happened (miscarriage, move), it almost feels like we’ll forever be in limbo. And while I’m trying my…

My Baby Shower

Three years ago, I did a share in the Hamptons with basically unknowns. We each had one child the same age and wanted to escape the city for the summer, have access to a pool, beach and a yard. Little did I know then, they’d become some of my best friends. Over the years, we’ve…

Bump date: 32 Weeks

8 weeks. 8 weeks to go. Eight is an interesting number for us. First, there’s a lot of significance around it and Lilly’s birth. And, now, with only eight weeks to go, on April twenty-eighth, we’ve made one of the biggest changes in our lives. When I started this journey last May and was 8…

Moving Day (and Lilly’s Last Day of the 3’s Program)

As I sit there typing this, the packers are boxing up our apartment (I feel like an a-hole typing on a laptop while others are packing up my sh*t. But, I’m very pregnant. Does that make it better?), Lilly recently left with her grandparents to go to their house for a few days (best idea…

Conception After Miscarriage

They say no two pregnancies are the same. That’s certainly the case with me. While, with all three, I was extremely sick in the beginning, my first pregnancy with my daughter, Lilly, and my current one- I lost the second baby– are drastically different in approach and emotion, because of that loss. With Lilly, after six weeks of sickness,…

Design Board

One month from today, we move. Ahhh. We’re so excited, we can hardly stand it. I think we’re all really ready to go now- lots of talk from Lilly about the new house. Still, we’ll try to spend the next several weeks savoring the city, doing some of our favorite things and seeing some of our…

Bumpdate, 26 Weeks

Well, folks, I’ve finally reached the pinnacle of pregnancy: The. Stomach. Shelf. I can effectively balance my cereal or pasta bowl on my bump and it’s glorious. It’s really the moment I’ve waited for. After all, what’s the point of this big ole belly if it can’t be useful? Beyond that, the baby is the size…

Meri Meri Home

Last month, fresh off our trip to Alt Summit, I stopped by NY Now to help support my friend Brooke who was selling her chic ponchos for the first time to wholesalers. I went to say hello and help out, I ended up networking more than I did at the conference (so many good brands!) and…

Choosing a Baby Name

You know when things just align in your life? Little signs that you prove you’re in the right lane? At least that’s the way I choose to look at it. Instead of being bummed or frustrated that another blogger or site I admire has similar stuff, I’m flattered by the fact that I’m on target…
