Allow me to begin this tale by saying that the last month of pregnancy was nothing short of brutal, filled with a myriad of pains and teary-eyed discomfort.
Overjoyed to share with you my Mama Minute— a candid discussion about motherhood with the talented and inquisitive Lauren Ebersol.
Babies cry—am I right, mamas? They cry when they’re hungry or fussy but most importantly they cry when they’re tired AND overtired. So. Much. Crying.
We left our apartment in Manhattan on March 12 to “stay awhile” in our second home on the North Fork.
Thankfully, my first Mother’s Day wasn’t disrupted by COVID 19 like most everything else in our lives in the last few months.
When I was in my third trimester, a friend of mine reached out to see if I’d be interested in beta testing a new app called Poppy Seed Health—an online pregnancy and postpartum support group. I couldn’t text “YES!” back fast enough.
I went back to work full time this week. It’s surreal to emerge from my maternity leave cocoon only to come back to a new normal in the midst of a pandemic.

Loss of Power, Monthly Food Delivery Amidst a Storm and an Inevitable Meltdown
I’m not sure about you, but we’re having an increasingly harder time getting food delivered to our house. Here in the North Fork there are an alarming number of COVID 19 cases and I am taking no chances. We order all of our main groceries online via PeaPod, Costco and even things from Target, but just getting a slot at PeaPod has become so arduous.
In honor of what would have been Giuliana’s baptism, we hosted a baptism brunch at home over the weekend inspired by me binge watching way too many episodes of Giada at Home.
I woke up on New Years Eve after having a dream that said “this is the beginning of your birthing time.”
It’s time to get serious about being healthy while social distancing. We’ve been cooking wholesome, scrumptious meals that, taken at face value, are fine, but the quantity we are consuming is high and the snacking is unnecessary.
