Caught with her hand in the (dog’s) cookie jar. Literally. I think we are in trouble now that she’s figured out how to drag her footstool around to get to things out of reach. Related: I found Winston in a state of bliss surrounded by 4 cookies.

A bit of rain wasn’t going to stop us from weekly pizza night. I taught Charlotte how to stamp her feet in puddles. It was extremely cute but doubled the length of time to walk home.

I always try and wear at least one J.Crew item when I work in their offices. Today I squeezed into the Natasha sleeveless blouse (currently on sale with a further 30% off sale items!) and one of their cardigans. I wore my favorite J Brand pants but I must admit it might be time to wave the white flag on anything without an elastic waist. And btw in case you think I’m still squeezing into my pre-pregnancy jeans then let me assure you that’s not the case! These pants are already 2 sizes larger than my normal size. It’s actually been nice to fit back into them for a while. They were a staple from when I was still shedding baby weight last time.

Have you seen the trailer for the new Great Gatsby movie? It looks amazing in a typical Baz Luhrmann way. I haven’t read the book since it was forced upon me in high school so decided to dip back in.

Every morning Charlotte and I hang out together on the couch. I give her milk and then put my arm around her shoulders and pull her close to me. This morning she brought Baby to the couch with us. She slung her arm around Baby’s shoulders and pulled her close. I marvel every day at the way she learns from us. (Also, Santa jammies in May - hee hee!)

Ditzi, be gone!

I was just having a Twitter ‘conversation’ with some bloggy friends who are also moms about the perils of coaxing toddlers to give up their beloved pacifiers.

We are currently on day 5 of life without the ditzi (pacifier). Charlotte used to get her ditzi at night, during afternoon nap time, in her stroller and in her carseat. And then starting on Friday night we went cold turkey. I thought our biggest problem would be getting her to sleep at night but so far that has been the easiest part of the transition. She admittedly talked to herself and her teddies for a solid 2 hours on the first night before falling asleep but that sure beats the hysterical screaming that I was expecting.

The major problem that we are currently facing is nap time. Oh boy, that’s proving to be tough. On the first day she screamed for an hour (we went in periodically to check on her and calm her down) before she finally fell asleep but then she only napped for half the normal time. Day two and day three resulted in lots of screaming and zero napping. Day two also involved removing all of her clothes & diaper and peeing in her bed. Fun times. She doesn’t actually ask for the ditzi – she’s smart enough to know it’s no longer an option. But I just think she has no idea how to fall asleep in the middle of the day without it.


I’m hoping the naps will work itself out over the next week or so. But if you have been through the same thing and have any tips I would greatly appreciate it!

When I dyed my hair dark brown just before Christmas I knew very quickly that I had made a mistake. It didn’t look that bad but….it just wasn’t me. It’s taken some patience and more than a few lost strands of hair (over-dying your hair results in it breaking off in clumps) but 6 months later I’m finally back to my normal blonde self again.
