On being his Mary

Posted on 5:09 AM by paritory
It was far too cold to be outside, but they were far too crazy to keep indoors. Talmage was singing the "I'm a gummy bear" song for the bajillionth time and Ever was following the direction of the old school anthem bearing the same name by "bouncing here and there and everywhere." We must do something, I thought while watching the mayhem unfold in my living room (which doubles as the kitchen, dining room, playroom...

Our Christmas

Posted on 5:02 PM by paritory
I've done an awful good job feeling the holiday spirit this year, and sharing it with my boys as well. Last year was kind of a doozy as far as December was concerned so I feel like we all missed out, but this year, we celebrated Christmas hard core. It was fabulous and peaceful and so happy, and started the very day after Thanksgiving and lasted all month long. It also helps that I did most of my shopping before Thanksgiving because December was...

Gingerbread

Posted on 5:03 AM by paritory
So...the Parker Meridian hotel has an incredible display of gingerbread buildings made by famous New York bakeries on display in their lobby so we decided to check it out. But, then Ever Knight fell asleep in the stroller (after refusing to take a nap) so I had to wake him up (because by this time it was way too close to bedtime for a nap) so things kind of got off to a rocky start. I mean, I look like I'm having fun but Ever, well, I don't think...

I'm raising Peanuts

Posted on 11:42 AM by paritory
James and I surprised the boys by taking them to see a live version of Charlie Brown's Christmas at the Brooklyn Lyceum theatre. Charlie Brown has been a frequent guest in our home since Thanksgiving, and boy are the kids ever grateful that Netflix is so generous with holiday Charlie Brown shows. We knew that this special Christmas date would be a family win, and holy Hannah were we ever right! Talmage and Everett were pretty much a part...

Macy's Santaland

Posted on 7:29 AM by paritory
That sign in Macy's just made me laugh because if seeing Santa was ever a HUGE production, it was at Macy's. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, ah contraire, Santaland is magnificent and magical and totally over-the-top amazing, but compared to all of the other Santa's we've seen it was definitely a production.     The lines are long, especially if you're like us and go the Saturday before Christmas (but show up about an...

Chelsea Market and the Plaza's Santa

Posted on 7:17 AM by paritory
I desperately wanted to go see an art exhibit in Chelsea. It was my third time trying to see it, and unfortunately my third fail. Going to an art exhibit with kids is one thing, but being told you're going to have to wait somewhere between two and four hours to even enter the exhibit, I know my kids well enough to know that we would be one big, fat word: miserable. So...since we were already in Chelsea and I had promised the boys some cool...

Just pretend it has a stamp on it!

Posted on 6:58 AM by paritory
I had every intention of sending out Christmas cards this year. But then December just kind of happened and it was too late, which makes me sad. So, here it is: what my Christmas card might have looked like had you gotten it all postmarked and everything. It probably would have looked absolutely nothing like that to tell you the truth, but I kind of fell in love with decorating that cute little evergreen and it was all over from there....

'Twas the Sunday before Christmas

Posted on 6:13 PM by paritory
'Twas the Sunday before Christmas and I made them wear sweaters, they also wore ties so they could look even better. I wore a sparkly belt and James wore a suit, and we took a picture by our lobby Christmas tree to boot.It was a beautiful day with California weather,which made me less bitter that our family's not together.But from us in New York, to all you on the west,Merry Sunday before Christmas and we think you're the best!!! T in...

The weather outside is certainly frightful.

Posted on 6:48 AM by paritory
My boys were itching to play in the snow after {read: during} our first blizzard of the season. They kind of thought it was the best day of their lives; or shall we say, best 10 minutes of their lives before they were frozen solid and hysterical. What can I say, we have California blood! But those 10 minutes, gosh they were fun. And so was the hot chocolate that followed. Ever wanted to be cuddled and followed me around looking ridiculously...

Botanical Garden Trains

Posted on 5:30 PM by paritory
For years I have heard the greatest reviews of the Bronx Botanical Garden's Holiday Train Show, but tickets are a little bit outrageous so I've not allowed myself to truly dream of how great it would be to visit the exhibit with my boys. BUT...since God is seriously looking out for me (and I mean that truly, honestly, and from the bottom of my heart) we were given four tickets for free to see the exhibit right after our church's Christmas party last...
