Keeping it Real – Life Lately

Life

Happy summer! We had a lovely weekend of Mexican food, relaxation, and celebrating Em’s dad at Brooklyn Brewery. I think it’s kinda funny that we eat Mexican food so much since leaving Dallas – it’s obviously not as good as it is in Texas, but you can never go wrong with tequila and guac. As you may have seen on Instagram stories, Emerson had a big sleep regression/mental leap and was skipping naps, scared to be in her crib alone,…

Day in the Life: 17 Months

Life

7:10 – I hear Emerson whining and call Matt to see if he can get her. He does and they read books for 10 minutes before he brings her to me in bed.  We roll around for a while, and I’m embarrassed to admit, we watch my Instagram stories together and look for dogs. 7:35 – We get up, and I realize Emerson is soaked – her diaper is somehow unhooked so I change her diaper and put her in…

‘Rents Do Brooklyn

Weekends

Matt was on a much-needed guys weekend with his dad, so my mom and dad came to visit me Emerson.  She was so quiet and shy when they first arrived, but quickly warmed up when Grammie brought this giant beanie baby out of her suitcase. We did a little shopping for spring clothes for Emerson at the Gap Outlet…

Restaurants

Emerson seemed nervous on the subway and held on to her stroller:) We made our way to Rockefeller center to see the tree, and quickly realized that the crowds were miserable, especially…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Life

– I took Emerson to the local ‘Cat Cafe’ as a fun indoor activity, and there were 28 (!) cats lounging in one room. I’ve never seen someone get so excited. But I was a little worried about the cats as Emerson squealed and charged towards them. I bet they were all rolling their eyes. -Speaking of cats, don’t you love this label? I got a shipment from Winc (<–referral link) and enjoyed this red even more after my visit…

Bald Head to Brooklyn

Life

Hey y’all, So sorry for the lack of posts. Thanks for your patience as I get my life together. We spent 10 days at my parents house on Bald Head before we arrived in Brooklyn. It was a much-needed rest after the craziness of the fall and moving out of our house.    I absolutely loved being away from cars and having nothing but a grocery trip on the agenda each day. I fall more in love with the island…
