favor-”ette”: apple to go
June 5th, 2013
Noah will be in a little program for a few weeks before camp starts, and I have to send him with his lunch each day (I know, when did THIS happen??). As his picky eating has been well-documented here, you can imagine how stressful this is for me. But one thing I can pretty much [...]
at the corner of parenthood and plans
June 4th, 2013
So remember my bike trip around Manhattan? Well, I did it (kind of)! Seems that – as usual – parenthood intervened to teach me that: a) I am most definitely NOT in charge of my plans, and b) a change in plans often works out even better than expected. I’ve posted Part One on Go [...]
nyc-etc: it’s about the journey…
May 27th, 2013
Chelsea’s spring break was coming to an end, and I was in the mood for an adventure – something along the lines of a how-much-can-I-cram-into-one-day excursion. There would be some fun food (of course), a little culture, and something brand new. One of my fondest childhood memories was a day spent in the city with [...]

city mouse, country mouse
May 11th, 2013
So much good stuff to share, I couldn’t wait till Monday! I’ve been thrilled to discover that children’s clothing is so much more stylish now than when I was shopping for Chelsea and Conor back in the day. And CHaLK nyc is a perfect example of how far things have come. CHaLK nyc is the creation of [...]
family. in 140 characters or less.
May 9th, 2013
So my pals at Limetree (who I last wrote about here) invited me to participate in a friendly little contest – it’s a “micropost”, and the theme is “family”. What’s a micropost? It’s a post no longer than 140 characters (sound familiar?). Of course I said yes – I love a challenge, and my family is [...]
i can’t/she can: talking with children about cancer
May 6th, 2013
I know – heavy stuff for a Monday morning. When I decided to launch this new series last month, my goal was – and is – to not only introduce you to great bloggers, authors and “creatives”, but to impart some meaningful information that you would not otherwise find here at D D and D. [...]
favor-”ette”: lulibox
May 1st, 2013
The internet was probably one of the biggest differences between my pregnancies with Chelsea and Conor, and my time with Noah. It was actually a mixed blessing. On the one hand, with just a few clicks, I had access to a seemingly limitless amount of information on anything I needed to know about my current [...]
favor-”ette”: magnetic craft caddy
April 24th, 2013
Got 10 minutes? Then you can make this adorable (and functional!) craft caddy. Now that Noah is (a little) more into arts and crafts I realized that he’ll be more likely to partake if all of his “tools” are visible and easily accessible. But the neat freak in me doesn’t want a bunch of markers [...]
just the three of us
April 8th, 2013
This was written last month from a hotel room in Chicago, where I spent two days with Chelsea and Conor to look at a prospective college. As I was packing for this trip I realized that it would be the first time I’d be traveling with just Chelsea and Conor in twelve years. Twelve years. [...]
