Friendship to a toddler

At 17 months old, Jackson has a friend that he has “known” before he was even born. One whom he visited in the hospital hours after birth (in utero of course) and who returned the favor 8 weeks later when Jackson was born. Lots of things have changed since they were newborns who would pose [...]

My tweet up with Crunchy VT Mommy

Laurie Berkner Band concert!

We have had another super busy week here! The grand finale of our hectic week was a special treat for Jackson, on Saturday we attended a concert by his favorite musician: Laurie Berkner! She came to Providence to the VMA and since we bought tickets several months ago, we lucked out with third row seats. [...]

From Super Bowls to Toddler Bowls

We survived a 13 hour travel day with a toddler (more on that in a future post) and spent Super Bowl Sunday relaxing an unpacking. Greg went to our friend’s party while I stayed home to try and get Jackson back on a normal schedule after a week of doing whatever he liked! Lucky for [...]

Being a toddler is rough business

Today was a day full of highs & lows for my sweet toddler. It started with having parents who say “no” to throwing food on the floor: and then sitting on his chair to take a picture for his Uncle Dana in his Patriots gear, only to slide off that chair in his slick track [...]

Weekend Away!

By the time you read this, I will probably be en route to a remote lake house with 4 of my closest girlfriends for a ladies weekend! No husbands, no babies; just a lot of food, wine & games. This will be my first trip away from Jackson. I have only spent one night away [...]
