Happy New Year

The girls and I took an extended vacation in Florida this year. We had a great time with Grandma and GG! We really enjoyed the warm weather and visiting with friends and family. Mikayla can't stop talking about Uncle & little cousin Erin, Chuchia Maymie, Debra and Aunt Lina! Now we are back in NYC, locked up in the house for the most part. It is very cold outside. We've seen a few flurries but no snow as yet.

As of today, the countdown to the next baby is 5 weeks! I can't believe it! I have nothing ready, including myself! I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore, but I would never want to rush the little one. I still haven't finalized a name yet. Mark suggested Madison and I'm still leaning towards Lindsey! This entry is going to be a short one. I hear my little ones waking up!

3 under 3!

I am the mommy of three little girls all under the age of 3 years old! What?!?! That sounds so crazy! During my 20's I told everyone I wasn't 'birthin no babies'. There was always a part of me that wanted to be a mom but I never thought I would find love. I never really had any steady boyfriend either so it wasn't a part of my reality back then. Flash forward to my 30's, I moved to NYC, met and fell in love with Mark and now, here I am with 3 under 3. Not only do I have 3 kids but I am a stay at home mom. That means that I'm working 24/7 instead of 9-5! Not only am I on call 24 hours a day but I'm called upon most of the time also! When I was young my mom used to say ' I'm changing my name' and I only recently understood what she meant! I'm sure all mommy's know exactly what I mean. My husband is a great help! He does 90% of the cooking and he is great with the girls! In fact, we just signed Mikayla (2.8) up for swimming lessons a...

Relocation

Almost 5 years ago I moved to New York City with a dog and a car. This week I left with a family! I never could have imagined what my life would become at that time. I hadn't really dated much and hadn't even had a serious boyfriend.  My first apartment was across from where the new Yankee stadium was being built, I worked in my brother's office and knew no-one. My husband is the love of my life and my best friend rolled up in one!  We met while working together and I dragged him all around Manhattan trying new foods, seeing new places and trying new things! We had a blast and fell in love during the process.  Together we have build an amazing family! So, here's the story of our trip: We started packing up our house on Thursday.  How crazy were we to think we could pack it up and get on the road on the same day! Insert sit-com laughter now... By Friday night, 6:00, we were finally ready to do the walk through with our landlord and retu...

Un-Tech my heart

I've been without a smart phone for about 5 months now and life is very different these days. My girls play games less. My friends and family hear from me less. Texting is such a hassle now, too. But some good things are no more texting and driving. More real face time with the people I'm with and best of all, my phone bill is a mere $30 a month! That also means more dough for other things, like food! ( side note: am I the only one who's paycheck  is depleted at the supermarket?) I actually feel a little more free now that I'm not tied down to my phone. Leaving the house without it isn't such a big deal anymore! I wrote that almost a year ago. Today, I've got a Samsung Galaxy that I don't hate. How was my life affected by un-teching it back then? My kids only have 1 app on my phone which, honestly, I play with more. I still don't text and drive...go me! I mostly use it as a clock and to text. I text quite a bit but to only 2 or 3 people, my husband, m...
