Wonderful Week

This post was supposed to go up last Friday, but last week and weekend were sort of nuts. I was so stressed and anxious and worried and an all around crazy person and I almost don’t even want to type the reason why because in hindsight, it’s so silly. But here we go anyway: potty training. I read a book and decided the time was maybe right, and after a solid week (plus two weekends), I finally realized Georgie wasn’t ready. So we stopped. The relief I felt after making that decision was out of control. I went from having tension headaches every afternoon (I never get headaches) to feeling so elated I thought I was on drugs (I wasn’t). It was the right decision for us, and even though it took a lot for me to get there, I’m really glad I eventually did.

So, here’s to a wonderful week 🙂

A Few Things… 

Are these clear knee mom jeans for real?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, you are the BEST.

Are you watching Girls? I love it, and since this is the last season – how do you think it should end?

Net-a-Porter for kids just launched – it’s called Maisonette, and it’s expensive but adorable. And you’ve got to be kidding me with the cuteness of this bunny knitted romper. I love this for Georgie, and also this pillow. Eek too cute!

Some helpful tips for making mom friends at the park.

Absolutely in love with this beautiful dress.

This looks like the best invention ever for when your kiddo is sick. And here’s a great review.

Sunglasses of my dreams.

Hitha’s green enchiladas recipe looks so delicious. I drooled a little bit reading the post.

This mini cashmere crew is precious. And priced well!

Cute spring dress!

I love this (for me :)) – how pretty is the blue?

Wonderful Weekend

This week was a really good one. Georgie was in such a happy and goofy mood (I think those two year molars are finally breaking through!) and we had a few beautifully sunny and warm days. Everyone stayed healthy (a small miracle for us these days) and Georgie went to her first ballet class, which she loved. Tom was in London all week (he just landed at JFK as I type this, YAY!) so most of my evenings included wine and binge-watching Friends, while eating Easter candy.

This weekend is going to be freezing, so we are planning to cozy up and enjoy being back together again!

Have a lovely weekend!!

A Few Things…

Nutella facial? Yes please.

This chair looks like the comfiest thing ever.

I want to write a longer post on this topic, but for now: I loved Chrissy Teigen’s essay on postpartum depression.

I never thought I would use the words ‘chic’ and ‘stamp’ in the same sentence, but here you go – chic stamps!

Beautiful bags.

These ‘sparkle pops’ for sick or fussy toddlers are the best idea ever.

Really liking the idea of these calm-down jars as a way to tame temper tantrums, or just for a fun activity.

Yes, Princess Charlotte 🙂

This Modern Love column is particularly emotional and so beautifully-written. It totally tugs at your heart strings so read it with a tissue! And here’s the husband’s response.

These healthy peanut butter chocolate cups look SO GOOD.

The new ‘Fearless Girl’ statue on Wall Street is incredible.

OMG this is equal parts hilarious and so mortifying I don’t think I can watch it again.

I love iced coffee when it’s warm out – how cute is this tumbler and these ice cream ice trays?!
