Brooklyn Staycation

Brooklyn Life Weekends

For once, the long weekend actually felt really long! I realized Matt hasn’t had a day off where we stayed in Brooklyn since Christmas, so it was wonderful to just relax at home for an extra day. Matt’s parents actually came up on Saturday, and we had so much fun showing them our new home. We spent Saturday morning going for a run and cleaning our apartment, and then we hit the promenade as soon as my in-laws arrived.  It…

Southern Spring

Durham Life Travel Weekends

Heeyyy, I spent the week down in North Carolina, and I just couldn’t get over how green it is. And we had bright blue skies Monday-Saturday. Aside from two flight cancellations, a crying baby who didn’t want me on the phone and computer, and waiting all day to figure out my plans, the actual solo plane ride went well. We got on an 8:30pm flight, and Emerson stayed up until we landed at 10pm, and then finally feel asleep. Tuesday,…

‘Rents Do Brooklyn

Weekends

You guys are amazing – thanks for all your support! I had such a fun weekend with my parents in town. 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…

Christmas Moments

Hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a lovely time. We were down in my hometown of Hillsborough, NC visiting family and friends. My parents actually bought a new house for retirement and this was our first time staying there! I’ll leave you with a few highlights from our trip. A solo run on the very cool River Walk in Hillsborough. I’m not much of a runner outside of quick jaunts with the BOB, but this trail left me…

Happy Birthday Emerson Grace!

Life

I had to work on Thursday, but my mom was able to be at home to meet the carpet cleaners and mosquito guy so that my house was ready for the birthday party (and the market…). Work days always fly by, but I tried to stop and think about my labor and visited Emerson in the nursery IMG_5970.jpg IMG_5971.jpg IMG_5975.jpg IMG_5986.jpg
