Chelsea
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. [...]
friday. it’s the new thursday.
September 14th, 2012
I recently re-read my last “Thursday with Noah” post. And I still can’t believe almost a whole year has passed since I decided to take this once-a-week with my boy and just disappear for the day. And although it felt like an ending (and I felt sad, as a result), I know that it really [...]
thursday thoughts
August 30th, 2012
So here I am, back to Thursdays with Noah. Where did the summer go? I loved the fact that my outings with Noah were on Thursdays, as that was typically my “day” with Chelsea over the summer. And while her work schedule didn’t allow for as many adventures this year, we managed to squeeze a [...]
some changes, a final(ish) good-bye, and love on a plate
August 28th, 2012
Hi all! I hope you enjoyed my guest posts last week – I missed you! I have so many exciting things planned for my little blog over the next few months, but for now it’s all about transitions. The last few summers have felt like a revolving door at my house. Chelsea comes home in [...]
woke up, it was a chelsea morning
July 30th, 2012
Our last Thursday was our “last Thursday“. And it was hot. Blazing hot. The kind of hot that should have sent us right to a pool- any pool – or sent the boy to school for a morning in the sprinklers, followed by a nice cool nap indoors. No way. Noah was starting camp on [...]
redux
July 23rd, 2012
I’m heading out shortly to meet Chelsea for a girls’ overnight in New York City. By now you know that our family loves its traditions. Whether it’s the same “first meal” at Disney, handmade signs for a birthday, or a movie date to celebrate the beginning of holiday break, we’ve gathered enough over the years [...]
a bakery, a bridge and a birthday
June 17th, 2012
Sometime in March: Me: So Chels, your 21st birthday is coming up - how should we celebrate? Chelsea: You mean, other than THE CAKE? Me: Yes. Chels: I don’t know – how about drinks and desserts in the city? Okay – I could do this. I’d gather her good friends at a cute dessert place, followed by drinks [...]
“it noah’s turn”
March 5th, 2012
In thinking about my recent trips with Noah, 2 things came to mind: 1. He is so flexible and accommodating – this kid is game for just about anything. 2. There was a preponderance of activities that were decidedly “adult”. One of Noah’s favorite expressions of late is “it Noah’s turn”. And I realized, yes, [...]
all the young dudes
January 3rd, 2012
No pictures today. No recipes, no gardening tips, no museum outings. I’m just sitting here with my thoughts – and thought I’d share them here with you. I took Chelsea to the airport last night – she left for Paris for a month-long study abroad program with her university. We’d been planning and preparing for [...]
