Discovering Makeup – Uncovering Confidence
“I love you so f’n much” was all my patient Boston accented husband could say to me this afternoon. Generally with a head shake, and I kind of deserved it. We are going on a vacation soon, outside of the country, for our babymoon…and thanks to my pregnancy brain and moving during my first trimester…I […]
I don’t know how I was able to keep my cool, and drive, but somehow I managed to have a serious and scary conversation with my OBGYn about some issues with our recent ultrasound. The ultrasound was beautiful to me and Blake. Our itty-bitty baby was growing, and actually was starting to look like a […]
The weekend after Thanksgiving jumpstarts the Christmas season – especially for my itty-bitty family. We put up the tree and decorate the house, start playing some of my favorite holiday music, and watch classic films. This year was incredibly special for my husband and I because we were asked to take on very special roles […]
During my first trimester, I would come home from work each day exhausted, barely able to even think about having a pregnancy workout routine. I’d give myself a big pat on the back if I managed to take a walk around the block before resting my head on my pillow. Working out wasn’t really in […]
One of my favorite events of the holidays season is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I have always loved parades, even as a young child. In high school and college, I participated in my schools’ marching bands, and my appreciation grew even more. Sure, the singers in the Macy’s parade are lip-syncing, but the bands […]
Now bring us some figgy pudding … may be a familiar lyric, but in my household – the dessert everyone wants is plumb pudding! My deceased mother in law made it, so did my husband’s paternal grandmother, and so did the paternal grandmother before that. The tradition of plumb pudding and hard sauce has been […]
A coworker of mine told me today how much she missed being pregnant, and how it was the best time of her life. She wished she could be pregnant again, and told me to soak it up! For the most part, these past couple of months have been a walk in the park. A tiring […]
Quidditch Tim Tebow signed a deal with TiVo, Tom Brady with anyone who pays…professional athletes don’t just love the game, they also love the pomp and circumstance. Who can blame them, right? Sometimes though, I just want an athlete who pushes the boundaries, even when there aren’t any screaming fans around. Give me someone passionate, […]
My cohosts and I were emcee’s at a recent black tie gala, held at the Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island. The venue is one of the most stunning as well as timeless locations on the East Coast, and was the perfect setting for such a special evening. The event was held to raise money […]
If I still had AOL instant messenger, my away message would say “WOW!” I am so thrilled to share my pregnancy announcement with family, friends, coworkers, and all of you! This being my first child, I’ve been feeling a bit like a fish out of water. Thank goodness I have fellow friends and mommys to […]
