Things I Love: Swedish Baby Clothes






How cute are these? I love basics in stripes and bold colors. I don't see us dressing baby in many outfits with sayings on them...(you know the ones)

I love how cozy these pieces look and that they are good quality organic cotton.

Polarn O. Pyret has beautifully made clothes for bebes and tots. I can't stop gushing while checking out their site! I wish they had a shop in New York!

Till Whatever Do Us Part: Has America Become too Blasé about Divorce?


A interesting article here:

An excerpt:
The point of living isn’t to be in a perpetual state of fairy-tale ecstasy; it’s to find the meaning of life, the meaning of your life. And the point of marriage, I think, is to create meaning, with every happy and sad memory, every hardship overcome, every kind act, every moment of acceptance, every triumph, every child, grandchild, pet, and friend you accumulate together. The point of staying married until you die is to have a witness to your whole life, to the meaning you built. In the end, you can look at your spouse and say: Somebody knew me—and I knew them.

Little Boy Blue




Some of you already know...but it looks as if we're having a baby boy!

S and I were both in shock. We thought for SURE that it was going to be a girl. Nonetheless, we are so excited.

Sometimes before bed, we lay awake talking about what we think his personality will be like. Will he love bugs and dirt and little boy adventures? Is he going to think we are really old? (Probably! haha)

Often I'll just find myself smiling at the possibilities and what ifs. Only five more months until baby boy is here. I guess we'll find out then.

Meeting Baby P

So tomorrow is the big day. The baby becomes boy baby or girl baby.
Eeeeee! I am so excited! It feels like this week is creeping by. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to get a vote of what you may believe baby P will be.

After we find out I will share our own thoughts...

Movie Night

Thank you all for your warm wishes and congratulations yesterday of our exciting news. It was a day filled with lot's of love from around the world!

Now that that's out of the way, I can talk about more pressing matters...

Like whether or not this movie looks interesting. I can't tell if it will be great or too sci-fi(ish).

What do you think??

Here it goes...


I've been waiting months to write this out and yet I can't find the right words...

We're having a baby.

I was thinking of posting a funny video or something else clever but decided against it. What I'm feeling is such a pure joy and excitement that it doesn't need gimmicks.

There are so many emotions and jumbled thoughts to write about but for now, these are the only words that I can piece together.

S and I are great. Bambino is great. All is perfect...

Teen Dream



I was on the bus today and just thinking about how my life has changed since I was sixteen. Why sixteen? I guess because it was such a big deal to me. I remember wondering about how amazing everything would be once I turned sixteen. I don't know what I thought was going to happen but I swore I felt different the next day. So what would my sixteen year old self think of me today?

She would think I'm doing pretty great. (I think...)

Some thoughts from the sixteen year old me:

-I've been to some pretty cool places (and still more to come!)

-I have a cool husband. Seriously. I think teen me would think S was great. In fact, if I think of what I was looking for in a boyfriend then, it doesn't really differ that much. (Maybe a few things...)

-I probably thought I'd have more money saved up by now. (oops!)

-Although I DO live in New York City. This is impressive when you're sixteen. And now? See above.

-Evident of my sorry savings, I have managed to obtain some fabulous shoes/clothes/books/records/knick knacks that would make teen me jealous.

-And more importantly some AMAZING friends! (equally jealous!)

-I am following my dreams and trying to indulge in my passions. Teen me was afraid I wouldn't be able to.

-I have a great relationship with my parents despite those awful fights (eek!)

In short, sixteen year old me would probably think that I am turning out to be a damn cool "adult." Ha! Who would have thought? Although, she would be pretty upset that my real life was not at all like Dawson's Creek.

What would your sixteen year old self think of you now? Be honest...
