All my life, I fell for the boys who were the romantics… (yes, I know Mom… with the exception of one or two in there – names withheld.)
Even as a young girl and teenager, I always loved the characters on TV and in the movies (they usually got the girl at the end) who were [...]

Being the oldest of 4 boys can’t be easy. Especially when your 3 younger brothers kept coming year after year after year (quite literally). William is my oldest son. He will be 5 years old on September 25th. It’s funny, even when I was pregnant with William, before I knew he [...]

There are moments in life where you know, this is a “moment.” This is something I will remember forever. And you then try as best as you can to tuck that “moment” into the depths of your heart and soul, so you won’t ever forget that exact moment.
I had one of [...]

I’ve had my Frigidaire appliances for 13 days now. 13 days of trying them – and loving every minute of it. I mean, every single minute. Out of all the appliances we truly needed, a washer and dryer set was right up there. Our previous washer and dryer were so old, [...]

I do 2 loads of laundry a day. I wish I could say I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. With my 4 little boys and my husband, I’ve learned that if I don’t keep up on it daily, it gets out of control… and as any mother can relate, I don’t want that. [...]

It’s the summer (well, almost!). I know it doesn’t usually really feel like summer until school is out. For my boys, the last day of pre-school was June 5th… and since then I have been in complete summer dress mode. And if you’re from New England, you know it has only been in the [...]

Ever since I started my series – 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms – my personal blog has taken a bit of a back seat. I have become so immersed in finding and sharing fashion tips, that I haven’t been updating on the boys. As any mother knows, kids change so fast… and [...]

With William and Alexander’s birthdays being this past week, I scoured through tons and tons of photos of them throughout the past 4 years. These are my precious memories captured in time. The moments I won’t forget. The faces that have changed and grown. It was amazing going through the photos…
Or, [...]

My husband and I were at a wedding for one of our best friends in NYC this weekend. It was one of those events that I had been excited about for months. Time with just Matt and me. A romantic getaway. Fancy hotel. Seeing friends from college. And just [...]

This morning was a little hectic in our house.
By the time I got William out of bed, I realized it was 8:15 am. He needs to be at school at 9 am. Usually not a problem… but this morning my husband had an 8 am conference call, so I was on my own.

Back when I was living in New York City and working in the Fashion District, the “Before Children Audrey” would leisurely get her hair blown out at salons. She had time to spare to play around with different hairstyles before work. She took the time to smell different products to make sure she would like [...]

3 weeks ago today I had my c-section.
As all mamas of c-sections know… the recovery is a little different than that of a vaginal birth.
There are definite dos and don’ts for c-section recovery, and I am becoming quite familiar with them.
I remember my OB/GYN coming by the hospital on the day of my discharge and [...]

It’s been 2 weeks to the day since I had Henry.
And there’s one thing left that I can’t wait to do (I’ve already have my sushi, Coors Light, Margarita, hot bath, and lobster roll!)…
Wear my jeans.
Oh, yeah baby… jeans without a front panel, without my BellaBand and without adjustable side straps.
I just want me my [...]
