My poor husband. Even before we were married, Steve knew he had a lot to live up to as a husband and a father.
You see, I have the greatest dad in the world. I have been blessed with this kind, loving, encouraging, gentle, fun, generous father who has showed me, from day one, just what […]

My husband and I love to travel and explore new places. We rarely begin any journey with an itinerary, and yet we always end up having the most remarkable times.
Yes, we have our “Bucket List” of places we’ve yet to visit, places both near and far… but this past Friday night we stumbled upon […]

What can get me OUT of bed at midnight…
Slip on a fabulous pair of Manolos…
And say, “Hello, lovahs!” like I mean it?
Yes… Sex and the City.
There is nothing quite like Sex and the City. Funny. Flamboyant. Fabulous!
And I got to see all the fabulousness at a sold-out midnight show at our […]

Last night my husband and I took my mother-in-law out for dinner. This was not how the evening was supposed to go… but that’s what I love about life, because the night turned into a lovely golden thread of beautiful memories for all of us.

Tomorrow I will be 30 years old.
30 years old.
I’ve never been one of those people who “dreads” certain ages. I have always embraced each birthday with a sense of excitement, contentment and gusto!
30 will be no different.
My 20’s have been good to me. 10 years of growing… learning… dreaming… reaching… loving and moving […]

We expected rain all week in New England for Mother’s Day.
So you can imagine my delight when I opened my eyes at the usual 6:45am and sun was peeking through my bedroom windows!
But where was my husband?
Downstairs making coffee, breakfast and (gasp!) cleaning the kitchen before bringing up the boys and the news that I […]

I have a bone to pick with this guy:

You know him, he’s the Dyson Vacuum inventor. Sir James Dyson, to be exact.
But I like to call him Sir D, because it makes him sound like a rapper, and that’s cool.
Not so cool? Sir D has led me astray in my domestic duties.
I first started to […]

We took the boys to Philadelphia this weekend. William is obsessed with anything and everything Star Wars. My husband read online that the Franklin Institute was holding a Star Wars Exhibit through the first week of May, so we decided to make a weekend out of it.
Oh, yes. William. Alexander. […]

It’s interesting that Audrey, Jane and I never discuss our blog posts prior to posting them.
It’s not some Pinks & Blues policy…
I guess it’s just that we spend a great deal of time planning, organizing, researching, discussing, emailing, and meeting with so many people about our Pinks & Blues reviews, giveaways and features that, well, […]

It happened last night.
William asked me, “How did you and Daddy meet?”
Funny how that moment changed the course of my life, and that moment is why William is actually here…
So I told him.
October 28th, 1998. I was a Junior at Brown University, Matt was a Senior. It was early in the morning, somewhere […]
