Our European Adventures

We just returned from our annual work/vacation in Europe – the same trip on which we discovered the Svan Chair nine years ago in a Stockholm baby shop!
We had a busy schedule that didn’t afford much vacation time, but we were able to steal away for many special moments. In fact, the day we arrived [...]

A New Favorite Book

My son will be 17 months next week and we love reading. Other than going outside, I think reading books is his favorite thing in the entire world.
But it’s not just books. His new found fascination is with picture albums. He loves looking at our wedding album, his baby book and other [...]

The Working Mommy Club

One of the happiest days of my life was January 8th last year when I discovered I was pregnant. I was so excited to become a mother! My beautiful daughter, Lea, was born September 19, 2009. The first 15 weeks of her life, I was at home with her and I got [...]

First Birthday…where does the time go?

can’t believe it’s possible that one whole year has gone by. One year ago today my water broke, and my husband and I headed to the hospital for a LONG 27+ hour ordeal. But that seems SO long ago.
I’ve been back at work for 9 months! It feels like I [...]
