Lucy Girl, You are ONE today! We first met you when you were just four weeks old. You were one of the smallest in the litter of 12. You were sweet and quiet and wore a pink ribbon around your neck. Your temperament test confirmed that you were the pup for us — tolerant and gentle. And so we brought... Read more
Here we are, baby girl! Another month down, and just four more to go. This pregnancy is seriously flying by. But that doesn’t mean it’s not without the typical discomfort and symptoms. This month I have started to pop Tums — both before and after meals — and I stretch my calves to prevent leg cramps at night. Oh, and... Read more
Better to link up late, than not at all! (1) I went wedding dress shopping with my little sister last weekend. And I may have cried three times. I’m going to blame it on pregnancy hormones. But also? She found the one, and she looks absolutely stunning in it. (2) While the girls were dress shopping, Sam stayed with Poppy... Read more

Yogurt is such an easy, nutritious snack for toddlers. In fact, Sam has a cup almost every night before bed. (Before bath, too, obviously). The kind folks at Quaker recently gave us the opportunity to sample several new Müller yogurt flavors released earlier this summer: Mango and Orange FrütUps plus Pineapple Passion Fruit and Mango Greek Corner cups. As always, the... Read more
If you find yourself in our neck of the woods this Thursday, come on out to SouthSide Works for the eighth annual Savor Pittsburgh.

We were so surprised and thrilled to find out yesterday that we are having … Nick and I were both convinced we were having another boy, and we were so shocked to see PINK balloons pop out of the box. We smiled, we cried, we kissed, we celebrated. I would be lying if I didn’t say I am so incredibly... Read more
