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. [...]
nyc-etc: no longer empty
March 22nd, 2013
I’m always impressed with the wealth of really stellar programming that Noah and I can enjoy at so many New York City museums. We’ve done“First Saturdays” at the New Museum (site of THIS memorable exhibit – remember the nude sensory tank?). And we recently participated in a special kids’ day at the Whitney, which coincided [...]
winter with a toddler: your “survival” kit
February 12th, 2013
When we dropped Noah’s nap back in August, I didn’t quite notice the change to my day-to-day at first. He has school every afternoon, and even the weekends were easy enough to fill – as long as we’re outside Noah is a happy camper. But once the weather turned, things got a bit more…challenging. Especially weekends. [...]
a break. a pause.
November 24th, 2012
This month has been an especially hectic and busy one – but filled with all good things, so I’m feeling most, most grateful. I’ve taken some time before and after my recent trip to enjoy these sweet and special breaks in the action, and trying hard to just pause and enjoy. Noah turned 4, and [...]
another one rides the bus
November 14th, 2012
Do you ever get a thought stuck in your head about something - a movie, restaurant, vacation spot – based solely on a random opinion you heard? You know what I mean; I do this all the time. And then Mike will say to me, “want to go to (fill in the blank)?” And I’ll [...]
chipper
October 24th, 2012
My challenges with feeding Noah have been well documented here. Though I made all of my own baby food – which he happily gobbled up – and he transitioned beautifully to table food, once he hit the 2-year mark his appetite plummeted. Along with the range of foods he was willing to eat. So the last [...]
the same, yet different
October 17th, 2012
As I readied myself to resume my weekly outings with Noah (if you recall, the “actual” first was shoe shopping), I knew that there would be some changes from last year. Last year I could have easily spent the day at a museum, with Noah content in the stroller for much of the time. Now [...]
brooklyn bound: DUMBO arts festival
October 4th, 2012
DUMBO has quickly become one of my very favorite places to spend the day – and our time at the DUMBO Arts Festival last weekend is yet another reason why. DUMBO (which stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is way cool, with so much to do – especially for families. There are great [...]
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 [...]
