    Dear Olivia, I have a strong suspicion you may be a drama major in school.  You can look interested in a conversation and belt out a boisterous laugh on cue like a polished salesman and you can flip on a dime and give your best damsel in distress impression.  Your emotions are an extreme –…

    Ta-Da-Duh-Da

    As Olivia would say it, ta-da-duh-dah, here is the new site.  Perhaps the disappearance of the sun has put me in a funk but I needed a good pick-me-up.  I suddenly had an epiphany that my blog looked like internet vomit – I’m married to a designer for crying out loud!  So I enlisted the…

    When I first found out I was pregnant the second time around and the shock value wore off, I wished deep down to my core that I was going to have a second girl.  I really wanted Olivia to have a sister and on top of it, I saved all of Liv’s old clothing.  There…

    Dear Miles, Ok, I’m just going to be blunt – are you planning on crying every minute for the rest of your life?  Are you aware that you are capable of producing other sounds and facial expressions?  Picture this if you please – you can see the same things you see every day, including myself,…

    Dear Olivia, **SARCASM ALERT**  I love Spring!  I love the flowers and the Dublin breeze and most of all, I love the constant sneezing and itchy crusty eyes.  You may be asking yourself, why are you sharing this information with me?  Because, allergies alone are the kiss of death.  Allergies with a 6 month old…

    Dear Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles.  Where should I begin?  You are an adorable little pill.  I find myself so incredibly busy with you that time literally flies by.  Time is moving so fast that occasionally I look at you and think, “my goodness, when did my little boy grow up?”  I get so caught up…

    Dear Olivia, I’m writing this in early April which means we survived our family trek to DisneyWorld.  Holy cow, what an experience.  Don’t get me wrong, I have memories that I will cherish forever but it was a busy busy week.  Between the rainstorms to tornado warnings to constantly breaking down the stroller and schlepping…

    Month 5, Version 2.0

    Dear Miles, I’m still on a high over the fact that you only woke up once last night.  If I currently weren’t sick as a dog, I would probably be doing cartwheels right here in the living room as I type this.  I will settle for a vocal woohoo in to my Kleenex.  This past…

    Month 29

    Dear Olivia, I had one of those parenting moments recently where I looked back in retrospect and thought, I probably could have handled that situation with you a little bit more maturely.  It was a typical moment where I asked you to pick up a toy, your stuffed brown bear to be specific.  You continued…
