If you haven’t heard or seen the words “tidying up”, “Marie Kondo” or “KonMari” then you must have been hiding under a rock for the past few weeks. On January 1st, Netflix released Marie Kondo’s show “Tidying Up.” She visits people’s homes and helps guide them in her method to tidying up. Now the internet[…]
The holiday season is upon us! Time to panic if you haven’t started shopping yet, right? Eh, with Amazon Prime you’ve got plenty of time. This happens every year but just like winter weather and daylight savings time, we never feel prepared. And my email inbox is filled with so many sale and promotional emails[…]
Family Updates In recent weeks we have had lots of family visits which have been wonderful accompanied by gifts for Ben. This baby almost has a bigger wardrobe than I do! All the grandparents love the chatty happy baby that Ben has become. We have adjusted well to daycare and Ben is stimulated and engaged[…]
Since Ben started day care, I’ve been trying to adjust to being what people call a “working mom”. Balancing work, family and a personal life (I finally got a haircut last weekend as it had been 6 months since my last one) has been a challenge. I consider myself to be in survival mode right[…]
Baby Updates In case you missed it in the emails from Douglas or the Newsletter (if you want to sign up for the monthly newsletter and get #FinLit, head over here), I had my baby! Benjamin George Weitzman was born on July 20th weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz., right on his due date. He must[…]
It’s Baby Month It’s officially due date month! My doctor said to keep walking and moving around to help get baby ready. I’ve been trying to take Jeter for a walk every day, but the heat is brutal. Early morning and late in the day are the only options right now. And even then, I’m[…]
Final Baby Prep What’s new in our lives? My best answer to that right now is nothing yet, thank goodness! We have checked a lot of things off the to-do list. We have assembled the baby’s dresser, done baby laundry and started packing hospital bags. I made a trip to Ikea and the Container Store[…]
A Week of Ups and Downs Life lately has been very much a series of good things followed by something bad. Luckily nothing so far has been too terrible, but it can still make for a rough week. Andrew officially graduated with his MBA with NYU commencement at Yankee Stadium and then the Stern School[…]
Life, Lawn and Garden Updates Since the weather has finally improved we have been able to do some work outside the house. In the fall we had a large evergreen tree removed from the front of our house. It was covering the whole front picture window and growing too close to the house. Since then[…]
After college, I knew I wanted to move to New York City. There was never a question of “should I move to New York”? It was always, let’s do this. I think it had to do with watching too many episodes of “Friends” and “How I Met Your Mother”. That fall I packed up some[…]
