Do You See What I See

Top corner of the photo....photo bomber in the form of a slumbering baby! D'awwwww.

The meal was delicious by the way. Have been loving these steamer bags of veggies and snapped the pic to write a post about them. Perhaps this weekend!

Broadway and....

Just the other day I reached into the pocket of my coat and found this. Guys and Dolls ticket stub from 2009. 2009?? This feels like a lifetime ago. This was way before Pancakes! Everyone says once baby arrives you can't imagine what life was like before he/she was born and they are right! TV3 I am so glad you are here :) Anyway, the funniest thing about finding this ticket was sharing it on twitter and chatting about the show with a fellow theatre fan. We didn't know each other back in 2009 but we both went and saw this show! We love Lauren Graham who played Miss Adelaide in the show. Love me some good showtunes.

Imagine the giggles I had when I read TheBabyGuyNYC's post "Breast Side Story" . Since entering the sometimes overwhelming world of baby products, Jamie's Gear Guide site has been a place full of information and humor for me while I try to learn all I can about the world of baby products.
If you are a mama looking for a breast pump, like Broadway, just want a laugh or any combo of the above, head on over where you can enter to win a Hygeia EnJoye LBI Deluxe Tote Set and as an added bonus, sing a little song about a girl named Maria...

Almost

I had almost forgotten about this blog. Almost.

I can almost get thru the morning without coffee. Almost.

It's almost Valentine's Day. Almost time for 3 to wear an adorable onesie for this fun holiday.

It's almost 3's 3 month birthday. Almost. Tom's dad use to say that babies get a birthday every month of their first year. How lovely is that?

It's almost time for me to go back to work. And I'm almost ready. Almost. But not quite.

Holiday Eats & Treats

Baby Boy is a month old today. One Month. Time is flying already and veteran moms I'm sure you'll tell me it will only go faster from here on out...

We've got family coming to town next weekend to visit and see TV3. So excited. Our already tiny NYC apt will be bursting at the seams. To make things easier we'll be ordering in some platters of food or using the slow cooker for our holiday meals. Even with baby brain I think ordering in is the best idea I've had in a while!

Perhaps ordering in is not in the cards for you and you're searching for some new recipes to compliment your tried and true family holiday favorites. A great resource fell into my lap this morning by way of Facebook. Side note - is there nothing better than the booking of the face on a lazy Saturday morning??? Anyway, My First Playhouse linked to the flickr account for some great recipes. There's a delicious looking strawberry smoothie in glasses edged with crushed candy canes. YUM.

Hope this helps add some new ideas to your holiday meals!

Myself - Plus 1

TV3 heard something about food and showed up here...

I had a great experience during our hospital stay, but we were at the #1 hospital here in NYC. I was discharged after 3 nights but little man had to spend some extra time getting bigger and if you can believe it, learning to eat. I can assure you now at 3weeks old he's got the eating thing down.
After being discharged I went to visit TV3 and was promptly told by one particular nurse to go home, put my feet up, drink some wine and get some rest. Amazing advice is amazing.
I really disliked cooking during my pregnancy so getting back in the kitchen has really felt good this last week. Somewhere in between all things baby and mommy nap time, cooking has made me feel like myself again.

Yumma eggs over well

I love little tomatoes- makes cutting so manageable and they are a quick snack to munch on too

Grilled chicken - I know we had a bit of a long break there, glad to see you back on my grill pan

I did not cook this. Oh my no. This is a plate of take-out from Dinosaur BBQ. Friends came to meet baby boy and came bearing gifts in the form of pulled pork, ribs, chicken, mac & cheese and cornbread. Delicious. THANK YOU!!!
