A very quick posting, as I have just finished the five-day process of transporting the boys from Jerusalem to our new home in Washington, DC and I cannot even think about shopping right now–I am just that tired. But not tired enough that I can resist posting this photo of a five-months pregnant Alicia Keys [...]

Last night was one of those rare, perfect evenings when I was home alone with a bottle of nice red wine, a full bag of red Twizzlers, all four boys soundly asleep by 8pm, and because my husband was working quite late, a computer all to myself so I could shop online uninterrupted (we share [...]

When it becomes time for all of you to shop for nursingwear, I am happy to say that there is now a good selection of nursing T-shirts and nursing camisoles out there from which to choose.

I have been a terribly delinquent blogger these past few days and I am so sorry.  I will not torture all of you with stories of what it is like to be staying in a hotel suite with three jetlagged toddlers and one jetlagged baby.  Suffice it to say, there is not a lot of [...]

I’ve never been pregnant in January and February before and damn, it is tough to say no to the gorgeous spring fashions that are showing up all over the stores.  I so want to indulge in a cute romper or one of those hip jumpsuits, but I think no matter what your style sense, we [...]

We are just back from taking Oliver for his first haircut. Here is a photo of Oliver before the hairdresser took out the scissors, looking very pleased with himself. Things deteriorated very rapidly from there and he screeched for a full 10 minutes while this poor woman cut his hair. Oliver doesn’t really have much [...]
