      • NYC, Hair-ports, And So Much More
        01/25/10
        This weekend I headed to NYC and felt like a teenager again. I flew seven hours from LHR, Justin flew five hours from SFO, and Jared and Matia flew a couple hours from ORD---all of us landing at JFK.

        And to think, airports haven't been around that long but these days we use them l

      • Sisters and the Brothers
        01/20/10
        My good friend Michelle came to visit London for a few days, along with her sisters, and I think my boys thought they came just for them. The brothers woke up almost every morning with Michelle pampering their every need. She warmed up milk for Grant and Lennox and played a few rounds of dominoes or

      • T(B)oy Basket
        01/15/10
        The boys are getting really good at hide and seek lately. Usually, they can't stand the pressure when I come to find them, so they'll pop out of wherever they're hiding. But today, they remained silent lying inside this toy basket until I got really close to them, called out for them,

      • 'Twas a Rainy Cinni Day
        01/14/10
        So my friend posted on her blog her family's recipe for amazing cinnamon rolls. And when I read it, the rain poured down outside. So, I instantly got it into my mind that I needed those rolls smelling up my house on such a cold, rainy day and then finding their way into my belly.

      • Once There Were Two Snowmen
        01/13/10
        Fresh snow today and my mom opened the back door for an afternoon of adventure.

        While the boys and my mom were in the midst of building Snowman #1---a beady-eyed midget no taller than a toddler, Justin came home for lunch. Justin started a snowball fight, and #1 was used as battle mate

      • Better than Ice Cream
        01/11/10
        I did something today that I swore I'd never do. Lennox was in a foul, fussy mood all morning (his canines are coming in) and didn't eat his hamburger at McDonald's. So, when he saw the twins eating their ice cream cones, he begged for one, too, and I got back into line and bought one

      • In the West End
        01/09/10
        While most days are all about the boys, today was all about the girls.

        My cousin Nancy, who lives in London, scored tickets to the sought-after play The Misanthrope, a modern-day version of Moliere's play by the same name. Playing at the Comedy Theatre, the main actors Damian Lewis

      • Backyard, Please
        01/07/10
        One of the best features of our English city home is our English city backyard. I love that the boys can go outside for 5, 10, or 60 minutes and be in a place that is secured and yet free from the indoors.

        Now that the weather is cold and snowy, that fact doesn't change.
      • Chop Chop
        01/04/10
        After much convincing, Justin agreed to let me take the boys to the barber shop for a little chop-chop. We both love their billowing round curls, but they take a little work in order for them to look presentable. Since neither of the boys love the 30 seconds it takes to gel their hair down, the deci

      • What a Girl Wants
        01/01/10
        My nieces Ivy and Mazzy took a double-decker with my mom today to see what specials the New Year had to offer. To add, if possible, to the London treasures they had already procured. They couldn't take home the neon pink heels or the comfy over sized chair, so they settled for a new pair of glo
