I was trapped on the recliner with a sleeping baby in my lap so I took the time to “spring clean” the blog. It definitely needed some sprucing up – and a name change. It’s hard to believe how fast the time has flown by…no more baby blog…Claire’s a toddler now! I hope everyone likes the new look! And just in case you weren’t ready … Continue reading Spring Cleaning the Blog
Is laundry truly a chore when you have such a sweet helper? Claire LOVES to help hang out clothes and since it’s so warm and sunny lately I think we’ve only run the dryer once. This week is a bit of a wash though, it’s been raining for days and days. I was running out of indoor play ideas when the basket of dress up … Continue reading Launderer!

They were our neighbors across the street and we spent many afternoons holding secret society meetings and munching on wild onion grass and the anise that their mom grew. Having a space for the kids kept us out of trouble (for the most part) and gave us a sense … Continue reading Kids Only!
Excuse Claire’s hair in these videos, it far exceeds her regular disheveled look. We took a tour of all 5 boroughs of NYC this day since traffic was so bad coming from NJ. Claire slept most of the way (thank goodness) and had a major case of carseat-hairitis. http://www.youtube.com/get_player The rest of the videos are uploading (slooooowly) to Claire’s YouTube channel. You can check out … Continue reading Easter 2009
