Watching Hudson’s eyes widen at the sight of grafitti had Aron and I talking about some of the funny realities we’ve encountered so far, having a baby in Manhattan. Believe it or not, and cost aside, New York seems like an amazing place for children. There are new playgrounds popping up all over the city […]

Thank you for all the well-wishes for my check-up last week. When the time came, I felt good heading to the office and everything was peachy-keen on my end; Hudson, on the other hand, wasn’t so intent on making the trip to the doctor easy. It was my fault for trying to accomplish too much, […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time wearing Hudson in his Sakura Bloom ring sling. He loves it! Provided he’s not hungry or sporting a heavy diaper, he will grow calm or fall asleep almost the instant I put him in it. I often still push his stroller along with me–having not quite mastered the […]

I took this picture of Aron on the Saturday morning before I went into labor; I think le Pain Quotidien will, now, forever be linked with Hudson’s arrival. It seemed fitting to return there this past Saturday–on my actual due date (and for one of our first true outings together). How odd to think that […]

Not too long ago, we brought stuffed rats back to California–bearing a note “Greetings from New York”–for our little cousins (which they loved, possibly to their parents’ horror). These hand-knit, urban hallmarks would have been wonderful alternatives! Aren’t they charming? [Metrocard/Taxi/Pigeon]

We’ve been spending hours and hours imagining how to fill the wall behind our dining room table with some new art—in part to bring more color into our studio, in part to replace a giant mirror which will (soon enough) become a giant hazard to a crawling baby. We’re crossing our fingers that ours is […]
