To beat the inactivity of driving everywhere and sitting at a desk all day, I’ve been running in the morning. Although, the word ‘beat’ implies that I’m winning something and unless its weight gain, the two times I’ve gone jogging during the month we’ve lived here is hardly triumphant.
Regardless, I’ve finally completely weaned the baby. [...]

Posted by lovemedaily on June 4th, 2010
Its questionable that my one year old is unaware of his ability to bite. He does not bite his favorite mommy parts, but he will unleash his jaw power on anything and any one else. “Ouch!” can be heard from any given family member at any time so long as he is around.
He just bit [...]
The case of the missing baby clothes
Posted by lovemedaily on May 19th, 2010
My 5 year old never dealt with competition for her clothes. But then again, we didn’t have all these naked stuffed animals when she was just a babe.

Say it with me “Ramps are for Wheels and people with Ambulatory concerns”

That is my stroller. And although I wish I pushed it 26 blocks to and from school with children as light as those pictured, my 5 year old is probably the combined weight of the two shown. It’s my minivan for the sidewalk, just as heavy and just as burdensome on available space.
Once before I [...]
For the Love of Innocence
Posted by lovemedaily on April 14th, 2010
You see that symbol of my daughter’s fleeting youth? The fluffy pink Minnie ears adorned with a plush tiara and veil that her uninhibited innocence graced the streets with?
That whimsical head dress, the last minute accessory she would put on to exclaim, “I’m ready!” before leaving our home is a true testament of my daughter’s [...]
Raising Kids in NYC
Posted by lovemedaily on April 13th, 2010
We moved to Manhattan 3 years ago. In our bags, we packed all the stereotypes we’d heard of the place and the people we’d meet here. Some came to fruition, most did not. New Yorkers are not mean monsters. On the contrary, they are quite the helpful bunch. Though, there is a prevalent arrogance of [...]
Where did this come from?!
Posted by lovemedaily on April 10th, 2010
I was waiting for my Rock Hard Body Abs exercise video On Demand to start as I finished the chocolate cream cheese icing I’d just made myself when I heard it. My daughter was writing her friends little notes, an activity she’s loved as of late. Stuttered sounds constantly ring throughout our home like a [...]
I might be doing my job right.

This week has been one of hits and misses, the misses coming before the hits. Monday, I went to bed seething with blog envy and self doubt and woke up Tuesday being asked by Scary Mommy to guest post. Huzzah! Wednesday, I wrote this post about my daughter nicely strewing our dirty laundry across the [...]
Mean Girl
Posted by lovemedaily on April 8th, 2010
We’ve all been able to watch our children interact with other kids. We’re proud when they are generous. Our heart warms when they are kind. We gain confidence in our parenting skills when they show compassion. We don’t want to see our child being the push over or the bullied. We want our children to [...]
Happy Easter
Posted by lovemedaily on April 5th, 2010
Today, the weather was beautiful. There was a light breeze. It was a cool and sunny 70 degrees. Everyone was bright and cheery, happy to celebrate the holiday in the warmth of Spring.
My family woke up sick with sinus colds. We are in the company of sneezes, dry throats, and snotty noses. Yep. If you [...]
