...and my beautiful holiday kitchen makeover. For the past 30 years I have had a great passion for interior design; for the past several months I have had a great partnership with InteriorCrowd. Last month, I wrote a teaser article, introducing InteriorCrowd and my plans for a kitchen project with them. But, before I write about how it ...
As part of my writing here on this site, I have made the decision to let you, my dear readers, into my life and that means, often times, into my home. You see pictures of us dancing on the living room ottoman, snuggling under my soft, white duvet and writing music in the sunroom. Decorating my home ...
So, this is what I am going to call "Confessions Week" here on Mommy, Ever After. I am about to admit yet another secret of sorts, about which I am simultaneously proud and also a bit sheepish. Earlier this week I admitted that my son is a maniac. And you seemed to get it. That felt ...
Today we celebrated our Anniversary 7. It's funny; I was going to say that it was the best Anniversary that I can remember, but then I read this post from three years ago and I realize that it is impossible to even try to compare. We are absolutely and completely different people than we were when ...
It started with a chair. Well, two chairs if I am being honest, but if you get the reference above then we are automatically better friends than we were before you opened this post. More on that, later. Two years ago, just after we closed on our new home, I went with my parents to the Rago ...
I am a Jewish girl who loves Christmas. I don't think I am particularly unique. I do not have a tree in my house, nor do we celebrate in any religious way. My child attends a Jewish preschool at a Synagogue. But Christmas is just the best. It's CHRISTMAS! I have gotten to experience true Christmas twice in my life: The ...
Hello! Broadcasting live from yet ANOTHER sick day at our house, with both kids home, coughing and sneezing. Some folks might get frustrated that their plans (large and small) have to change for another day, so that they may look after their snotty offspring. But oh no. Not here. I feel lucky to be here, still in my pajamas ...
It was one year ago today that my husband and I made our first trip to the baby store, in order to begin picking out our nursery decor. It would still be two weeks before we found out that our Twinkle was a Twinklette, but that didn't stop me from spending hours pouring through books of ...
What does it mean to be the daddy of a little girl? I know that in my house growing up, it meant many things. My dad grew up with 3 sisters. He then had 2 daughters and a female dog. He was a life-long swimmer in the estrogen pond, so to speak. In some ways, my dad is ...
I am a superstitious person. No surprise there. And so, as part of tradition (and superstition, and many other keep-evil-eye-away-itions) we did not decorate the nursery until the baby's arrival. We did paint, and I did glue-gun, but besides that, the room remained empty, only to be filled by our daughter, and the incredible love that was born along with her. Now, this tradition had a ...
