Daddy and Doctor

August 19, 2012

As a kid I was terrified of shots. Like I was the one that required two nurses and my mom to hold me down while I screamed bloody murder. I probably maintained this tragic stance until at least the age of ten. It has seemed that I passed this gene on to The Nut. If we mention a visit to the doctor, her first question is, “I have to take a shot?” [...]

Soar With Reading

August 5, 2012

Reading has been a part of our daily routine since The Nut was in utero. Some days we read one book and some days we read ten. She is a very fortunate little girl with a vast library of books to choose from that continues to grow on a regular basis. Not all kids are [...]

The unsuspected enemy

July 30, 2012

When I think of pregnant women and watermelon, I tend to make two personal connections. A) I crave fresh juicy fruits when I’m expecting. B) I look and feel like I’m carrying one under my shirt.

Three

July 27, 2012

Three years ago this morning (at 1:02am) I met you, my first daughter for the first time. You covered a lot of ground in your third year. You visited both Florida and Tennessee twice. You went to San Diego and San Francisco and Hawaii for the first time. You went to Disney, Sea World, and [...]

July 24, 2012

The Nut spent her first year nursing frequently and sleeping sporadically. She was insanely cute but exhausting.

Around twenty two months we were nearing [...]

Go Greek! {Giveaway!}

July 19, 2012

I can’t say that I ever really loved yogurt, but it has been a staple in my life as long as I can remember. I’ve always eaten it several times a week. I know it’s a good source of calcium and protein, plus all of those excellent probiotics. And it’s just so easy. A couple [...]

Who’d a thunk it?

July 16, 2012

I have a picky eater. If it’s not chips or cupcakes, she’s probably going to put up a fight. She rarely says she’s hungry or voluntarily stops to eat. I’ll admit we still feed her in a highchair in front of the television, pressing pause to get her to take a bite. It can take [...]

Strawberry Fields Forever

June 13, 2012

We may live in New York City, but we are lucky enough to have some amazing agriculture just a short car ride away. With a kid who will hardly eat anything that isn’t made from refined flour and drowning in butter, getting her out to the farms and enjoying fresh produce is exceptionally rewarding! We’ve [...]
