Thankful // 2019

Thankful for healthy, happy kids who are so loved by our village and are growing into kind, opinionated and curious people of their own. Parenting ain't easy, but at least it's never dull.

Thankful for a husband who loves me in a way that I never dreamed possible. A husband who makes my happiness a priority and works hard alongside me to make this life possible, to work towards our goals together and provides all the support I need to be the woman I strive to be.

Thankful for these legs that keep letting me run and the best group of people to spend those miles with. People who have become best friends, therapists, babysitters, travel buddies and my motivation to keep at it.

Thankful for a neighborhood filled with people who treat every kid as their own, support each other through the hard times and cheer each other on in the good times.

Thankful for work that is fulfilling, meaningful, challenging and with people who inspire me.

Thankful for this little rescue dog who has become such a beacon of happiness and love for our family and everyone he meets.

Thankful for a family to look forward to spending Thanksgiving with in a cozy house on the quiet Cape. For leggings and sweaters and magazines being my main plans aside from enjoying their company.

Thankful today, tomorrow, and every day.

5 Things I Love // 1

I love a lot of things and I really like to share these things, so I am starting a new weekly post just to talk and share and maybe hear about what other people love. Love it! First of all, I hope everyone had a chance to reflect of the life of Dr. King today, whose words never become antiquated. Today more than ever his speeches, his work and his method of non-violence are great examples of how to fight for social justice. Every year I spend some of this day talking to Maddie about Dr. King's message and I can only hope that it helps form her and inspire her to be a change agent in her world. On to much less meaningful things now: five things I am totally digging. 1. Nars blush in Orgasm . I have had this on my to-buy list for ages and was forced urged by my husband to finally buy it Saturday afternoon before a date night. I love it. It is the perfect color, the perfect amount of shimmer and actually lasts the whole day. Sold. 2. Bastille Kitchen in Fort Point. Spea...

Good-Bye Green Line

Tonight is officially my last night as an Allstonian. Or a Brightonian. I won't even live off the green line after I wake up tomorrow morning. No more 45 minute train rides that stop every block, no more "This train will run express to Packard's Corner". Tomorrow when I wake up I will pack the cat into his carrier, grab my purse and my husband will drive me and this baby in my belly to Dorchester, to our home, where we will have our first baby, our first wedding anniversary, where we will be "mom and dad" for the first time instead of just "husband and wife" or "Stef and Matty". I will use the vacuum cleaner Matty bought last night, the first new vacuum cleaner I have ever owned in my twenty nine years, and I will hang up pictures from our wedding, our trips to other states and time zones, pictures of our friends and our families. And on Monday I will wake up and catch the Red Line into work. It won't take too long, despite being fart...

Winter Wish Listing

I feel like I have been home a lot lately. Like, way more than usual. It probably has a lot to do with the mass amounts of snow that we have been getting and the hibernation mode that puts me in as well as the fact that I have been going to the gym in the morning now, so I get to come straight home, which is awesome. This is going to be the last winter in this apartment, which of course has been making me stare at the walls and daydream about our new apartment, and I have decided that there are only a few things that I want that I don't have now: One or two of these little buggers would make me very happy, maybe just one since they are 85 pounds. Did I mention that they can climb trees?? So cool! I miss having a bedroom closet. I have a wardrobe, which I love, but I also have a serious addiction to clothes...and shoes...and jackets...and having an equally fashionable husband. Not having the storage space just plain sucks, and I refuse to live without a closet anymore!!! I want more...
