Summer season is here, and we got a taste of vacation this past weekend out in the Hamptons -- we played on the beach, taught my city kid to love the sand as much as the pavement (took some teaching, believe me), took long drives to bucolic wooded Shelter

"Back to sleep" is drilled into all of our new mommy heads. It is recommended that all infants sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS (if you were a newborn of the 70's like I was, then you too were most likely a belly sleeper!). ...But along

This weekend we have a family wedding to attend and will be bringing Cooper with us. This will be our first road trip and first time in a hotel with him! I'm a bridesmaid in the wedding, and when I first found out we'd have to stay over for two nights

It's Friday night and I'm beat. I totally spaced on my blog post today--Friday's my day. The baby just went to sleep and I'm psyched to just lie here in my sweats, log onto the web and chill. It's not easy to have a high pressure job and to try to be
