A sweet idea for a kids’ birthday party: Milk + Bookies is a non-profit organization that exposes young children to how great it feels to give back while celebrating the love of a good book. You can order your own “Bookies Box” and host an event (I love their ideas for a storybook themed party).

{Clara} {Lucien} {August} Hudson is four weeks old already! If we go by the date, he’s one-month-old tomorrow–on the 17th. How did that happen? This little guy has been well-documented since conception (we have weekly pregnancy photos that I will get around to organizing at some point), and will no doubt continue to be […]

With our little one being born in the Year of the Rabbit, I made sure to snap up some of these Lunar New Year Forever stamps. Wouldn’t they be a nice gift to an expectant friend? The series will continue through 2019 with stamps for the Year of the Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, and […]

Our dads were always behind the camera, so it was harder to find pictures of them! But these are a couple of our favorites. As Aron would say: dads rock. I can’t wait to see Aron with our little boy–the mere idea of that image already makes me melt. He’s going to be amazing, and […]

We’re headed off today for our very last getaway before the baby arrives and “just-us-two” becomes “just-us-three!” (Although I think the real “babymoon” will come after he arrives–I can’t imagine anything more worthy of celebrating!) A friend’s mom has lent us her cottage in Cape Cod as a congratulatory gift and we are both beyond […]

I’m always on the lookout for great baby shower activities that would be appropriate for a co-ed shower. It’s not an easy task: most men haven’t grown-up expecting to play along with “Guess the size of the bump” or “Never say baby”* (let alone expecting to ooh and aah at cute presents). But I really […]

Aron and I were in Kate’s Paperie Soho this weekend and spotted the most adorable party-in-a-box kits by Meri Meri. The animal parade kit even comes with a garland that could do double duty as an over-the-crib decoration. A few–like the Robot party, Animal Parade, and Dinosaur kit–were discounted 70% for the shop’s spring sale. […]

Look at our beautiful mothers! (And P.S. I can’t believe I’ll share this holiday soon.) Happy Mother’s Day! Have a great weekend, everyone. [My mother bringing me home from the hospital (top); Aron and his mother–with the awesome wallpaper (bottom)]

My sister-in-law came up with a cute activity for a co-ed baby shower (never an easy task). She asked guests to bring a copy of one of their own baby photos–which she displayed. Each person then had to try to match each baby to a guest. The reveal was the best part! (Can you spot […]

My family is hosting a California baby shower for me and I’ve been struggling a bit with the “what to wear” question–as I’m sure everyone with a suddenly rotund belly does. I’m not finding many dresses to my liking. (Why do so many have bows over the belly? My parents called the new grandchild a […]
