I've always been a pack-way-in-advance-of-departure kinda person, but when you have a 6 1/2 hour flight with a toddler on the horizon?
I've been packed since Saturday. And I don't leave until tomorrow (tomorrrrrrowwww! I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER SOME SUNSHINE PLZ).
Oh, and this time? I remembered the extra pants.
Interested in trying out lower-lid eyeliner, but in a more subtle way?
Me, too.
This is what I've been doing lately when I feel like going a little more dramatic than my usual top-lid-liner-only look.
I'm a big white-in-the-winter person (as we saw yesterday)...a big white-all-year-round person, actually.
Really: is the "don't wear white after Labor Day" even a thing, anymore?
I don't think so.
A couple of years ago, my friend Stephen and I were hanging out on a cold winter day, complaining about the weather and how we didn't want to go outside or do anything, really, except for stay right where we were on the couch, and he said, "You know what? Enough of this hating-winter stuff. We should make some hot chocolate."
That I just unfroze the pipes in our basement all by myself.
LIKE A PROFESSIONAL.
(It's not actually that hard.)
Yesterday was bad.
I had an ultrasound appointment up in Connecticut, and planned to be back home by 3, before the storm was supposed to get really severe. I made it most of the way back with no traffic or snow at all, but around Stamford (about half an hour from our house) the cars on the highway came to a virtual stop, and the blizzard picked up in what felt like seconds.

P.S. Don't worry about the "follow the link to enter to win" thing; it may look kinda spammy, but that's the new "legal" way to hold giveaways on Facebook, as opposed to just asking you guys to comment under a post. It also makes it much easier for me to make sure that I'll be able to get in touch with the winner.
A few days ago, shortly after I made our announcement, I got an email from someone who said that I was "crazy" for having another baby now, with a husband who's in business school in another state. And while I'm not sure the comment was especially well-intentioned...I still thought that it was interesting, because it brings up a question that everyone wonders about - worries about - when it comes to when to begin (or expand) their own family.
OK, so expecting a baby for the second time?
Really different than the first.
It's different in good ways (I'm more chilled out about the whole process, mostly because I keep forgetting that I'm pregnant) and not-so-good ways (I'm sicker and about ten thousand times more exhausted), but the definite, one-hundred-percent most fun difference?
