A Simple Fall Tablescape

It’s officially fall and it’s almost starting to feel like it down here in Charleston. The mornings are crisp, with a slight bite in the air, but the temperatures still inch their way up by the end of the day. Alas, I embrace those bundled up moments in the early hours, and I’ve started to bring out a bit of fall decor here and there.

Happy Friday! Did anyone else’s four-day week feel exceptionally long? Ours started off with a heater on the fritz- on the coldest day of the year, no less. We spent half our MLK day escaping the cold in Mom and Dad’s room, followed by a playdate at Chelsea Piers. I had forgotten how great their drop-in programs are for the kids, especially during the winter.

Happy first full week of 2020! I hope everyone enjoyed the transition back to reality after the holidays- whether you’re taking it easy or going full speed ahead. I’m somewhere in between. Last weekend Phil and I took a one night staycation on Saturday at our local Delamar, followed by a day in the city with my mom and some friends; so my Monday morning was chock full of a case of the Mondays.

Happy Friday, kids! It’s hard to believe it’s the last Friday before Christmas. Where has the month gone??

This week was our first of Maddie’s winter break, and we’ve been spending lots of quality time together as a family. We’ll be home for the next few weeks, meaning I need to plan some serious activities for our girl.

This week I was able to sneak out of mom-mode for a few really fun business ventures at the new SoNo Collection mall in Norwalk. And it was just what the doctor ordered.

Wednesday night I attended an opening dinner for the new Bloomingdale’s hosted by Juliska. It was so nice to get out and see the beautiful new space; and to socialize with some of my favorite local ladies. Even if I was up way past my bedtime.

Happy Friday!

How is it the last one of the month? October has flown by, and I can’t believe our little babe is already seven weeks old! My thirty-fifth birthday is just around the corner in early November, but I’ll be celebrating with the girls this Saturday; and I can’t wait to get dressed up, kick back and enjoy a drink or two with some friends that I haven’t seen since before I found out we were having Baby Number Two.

Happy Friday, kids!

This week was a short one for us- or at least I made it that way. Phil was off on Monday, and for the third year in a row I accidentally kept MM home, thinking she was off too. I would blame it on all the moving parts around here these days; but, if I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure I would have kept her home had I remembered. There’s really nothing better than these rare days when we can be together just us four , and I would feel weird sending her to school while Dad gets the day off to play.

Another week, another crazy case of Connecticut weather.

This winter just won’t quit; and this mama is just about over it. That being said, snowfalls and cold aside, the sun has been shining; and there’s nothing quite like the sun peeking through over a morning cup of coffee.

This week MM battled her first real stomach bug.

In terms of bugs, it wasn't all that bad. But it still hurt my heart to watch her struggle and feel so uncomfortable in her body. If only for 24 hours.

And it got me thinking about taking care of ourselves as mamas...
