Paging Rosie: Grandparents Visiting Pros and Woes
My husband, kids and I are very blessed to have many grandparents in our lives. My parents separated when I was very young so add in some of my step-parents and you have basically doubled the grandparent pool. This can be amazing at times but also incredibly complicated when a new baby arrives. … Read the rest
Trying
I have been rattling this blog post around in my mind for a while now. In the interest of full disclosure I want to tell you I feel really uncomfortable writing it but I feel that the decision to get personal about getting pregnant and my pregnancy was a really good and important one for me and I don”t plan to stop now, even if I hesitate sometimes about sharing.… Read the rest
Mommy Maven: Baby Shower Favors for Under $10
Baby Showers can be an expensive proposition especially for the people hosting the shower. In order to keep the budget manageable I recommend throwing the shower at one of the host’s homes and following the three Cs of baby showers: Cupcakes, Candy & Cocktails (with a mocktail for the pregnant ladies of course). … Read the rest
The Pope Traveling Circus
I often joke that we are the Pope Traveling Family circus because I have to travel extensively for my work and I often take my children (and my husband) with me. Airplanes and hotels can actually be a lot of fun even on a work trip because all the usual rules (well some at least) can go out the window and instead the kids can splash water all over the bathrooms, have chicken fingers for every meal, go on adventures with Mommy around the hotel room corridors and even come with mommy to work!… Read the rest

 I simply love fall fashions. They tend to be more tailored and extra cozy to move us into the colder months. I know it’s hard to think about fall when you’re still sweltering in the heat, but it’s going to come before you know it. |
When I First Became a Mom
Being a Maternity Concierge I am often asked how to solve many of the problems and concerns that come up every day as a parent. While I pride myself on the fact that I often have a pretty good idea of how to help, and if I don’t I will certainly help figure it out with the experts I have at my finger tips and the amazing resources I know are out there but can often be hard to navigate.… Read the rest
Paging Rosie: Introducing Solid Foods
I have to make a confession but when it comes to feeding my children I have been known to go completely batty. It is one of the common factors between me, my clients and all my mom friends and that is that being totally obsessed with the amount of weight our babies are gaining and how much food they are consuming. … Read the rest
