WHAT I READ IN FEBRUARY 2024

Not the greatest month of reading for me, but it was a short month (😉) and I had a baby smack dab in the middle so I think I have a good excuse for not reading quite as much. Nevertheless, some good recommendations coming your way. THE ENCHANTED HOUR by Meghan Cox Gurdon 4.5/5 STARS The…

ON MY RADAR 3.1.24

Rabbit, rabbit! HAPPY MARCH. When I first moved to NYC, I will never forget my first (very long) winter…. I thought surely we would have spring weather by March 1 and I remember looking out the window in my office at snow and thinking, “wait where’s spring?!” and then realizing that we were very much…

MY POSTPARTUM MUST HAVES

I’m two weeks into this postpartum period with Rory and I thought I’d round up some of the must-have products I’ve been relying on.

Even though I physically feel soooo much better after my second baby, I am experiencing…

ON MY RADAR 2.23.24

I don’t think I’m back officially, but I will be popping in a little bit here and there as I can for now. This year has already really tested me and I realized that I just had to pump the brakes a bit on work, especially now that Rory is here! I am so grateful…

Hi! Popping in with a post I already had in the works and wrapped up during some downtime…. Clearly I’m looking forward to wearing dresses again, especially now that I’m postpartum.

RORY’S BIRTH STORY

Rory Patrick Riordan was born on February 14, 2024 in Morristown, New Jersey.  I have always loved reading birth stories. I wrote my own for Jack’s birth two and a half years ago and I can’t believe it’s time to share the birth story of our second son Rory, who entered the world on Valentine’s…
