Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Lanie's shirt

Lanie is not fond of her shirt, or perhaps she is just working on a new skill.

Lanie Trying to Crawl


Magic Word

Vivian was supposed to be getting her pajamas on and I kept reminding her.  Finally I went into her room and told her again.
She looked at me and held out her foot and said, "take my boot off mummy."
"Vivian," I said, "what word do you say?"
Very seriously she looked at me, "abracadabra."

Let's Call Her....

Vivian has this strange idea that when Lanie grows up, she will have a different name.  We have variations of the same conversation:

"Mom, when Lanie grows up let's call her Za-Za."
"Um, how about Lanie?"
"No, when she grows up, we'll call her Za-Za.  It's nice.  Hi Za-Za!"
"Um, we'll think about it."

So far we should name her:  Za-Za, Abbie, Videa, La-La, Anna, and some others I can't remember right now.
