How to Take a Car Trip with an Infant

09/05/20

If you really want to know how to take a car trip with an infant, my best advice is don't do it! In all seriousness, after four long months at home in our NYC apartment during the pandemic, we needed to get away. We found an amazing house in Palm Beach County with a private pool and that solidified our decision to undertake a car trip with an infant - our baby was 8.5 months old when we left and … [Read more...]

As much as The Artipoppe baby carrier is a conversation piece, it's also an investment piece- the price ranges from $800 to $200. … [Read more...]

My Breastfeeding Journey

07/27/20

Photo credit: The AB View Photography Nobody ever told me just how hard breastfeeding can be (and many conversations I've had with new moms these past ten months confirm that nobody told them either). For that reason, I want to be totally transparent and honest as I share my - very long - story. But before I do, I also want to make one thing perfectly clear - FED IS BEST. You must do what … [Read more...]

One and Done

07/10/20

Photo credit: The AB View Photography One of the topics that comes up constantly among my new-Mom friends is when everyone is going to start trying for Baby #2. For many people, having more than one child is a given. So much so, in fact, that when I tell people we're finished having children they say things like, "it's too soon to know" or "you may still change your mind." After three years … [Read more...]

A Quick Guide to Whole Grains

11/26/19

This post is sponsored by NOW Foods. All opinions are my own. Ten years ago when I became a Health Coach, grains were in and almost every product on the health food store shelves boasted a healthy-promoting "made with whole grains" label. Then the tides changed and everyone shunned grains and cut carbs. Now, you can find your favorite foods made sans grains - from grain-free breads to tortilla … [Read more...]

Our last day at Disney and now I can say it’s tr Our last day at Disney and now I can say it’s truly the most magical place … 

My Dad texted me a photo of me with my mom and sister on a ride at Disney circa 1982 (see my stories) and I knew I just had to recreate that moment with Valentina today. 

We’ve made so many wonderful memories here and we can’t wait to come back for more! 💚💋✨

Not the Mother's Day I was looking forward to but Not the Mother's Day I was looking forward to but feeling so blessed to be a Mother at all and extra lucky it’s to this darling girl right here ... 

On Thursday afternoon we picked up Valentina from daycare and I immediately knew something was wrong - her hands and feet felt cold and her body was hot. When we got home, she said she was "cold" so I took her temperature and sure enough, she had a fever. 

I kept her home on Friday and by Friday night her fever was full blown. After a rough night, the pediatrician squeezed us in on Saturday morning and did a full virus panel. 

Later that day, we got a call from her school that someone in her classroom tested positive. A few hours later, we got her positive result. Her pediatrician said David and I should test today and I, too, am positive. 

So with canceled brunch plans and an overall feeling of disappointment, here we are, but that's Motherhood in a nutshell. Learning to lean into the unpredictability and find joy in the canceled plans and extra snuggles. 

To those for whom this day brings heartache, I honor those feelings because for so many years, I felt them too. 💚💋💐
