Welcome to THE CITY CRADLE where event planning, design and motherhood collide.
When daddy turns the kitchen stool over and pushes him around no one can stay sad for very long.
His smile becomes infectious touching every possible heart in its vicinity.
Oh my goodness- That smile… that smile. Do you see that smile? It is incredibly contagious around here,
Especially on days the tears rain down…
On those [...]
How you know you have a life long dear friend?
You get your daughter dressed up to see her…
in the dress she wore as a little girl.
The exact dress her mom made for her and she wore when she was a baby,
because it was given to your daughter to wear.
That is the mark of a [...]
We bought them a little blue table with two red chairs in hopes they would sit together reading throughout the day, learning words- little scholars in the making.
It seems though they have concocted a different plan for this piece.
The books end up quickly forgotten on the floor,
climbers, gymnasts, acrobatics and the like…
anything as long [...]
Here is a little insight into my brain for all of you: I accidentally say something aloud (ie. etching would look great on baby bottles) then I get so excited I cannot even stop to go pee before needing to make it happen.
As, it turns out…
Etching does, in fact, look quite fabulous on sippy [...]
This weekend we are having a housewarming party complete with raspberry truffle smores (I think they sound heavenly). Next week, full on melted chocolate, I will share all the details with you. After the party, I’ll be snuggling up to my sweet Valentines both big and small. Hope you have a very lovely long weekend.

We had new family pictures done a few weeks ago with the babies. Can I just say it is nearly impossible to get 5 adults and 2 babies all looking great in one shot.
Especially when you are being chased out of the hotel by security, because who knew, you are not allowed to do [...]
This weekend I am finishing off an incredible week where I have given myself extra time to rest and process some major upcoming decisions. I am feeling exceptionally grateful for our wonderful family and all of our lovely new San Diego friends. This weekend I will also be sneaking away with the hubby- enjoying a [...]
We have entered into a new stage of baby life around here- Toddlerhood.
Two toddlers- complete with tantrums, discipline and the mischievousness that comes from freedom of movement. We’ve been reading through the book Toddlerwise to gain some wisdom, it has been so incredibly helpful. I would recommend it for parents of little ones.
One idea the [...]
If you have been following here for awhile you will remember all the crazy questions I put up with answering the first years of the twins life. Thankfully, much of the craziness has subsided lately (although I did get an Octomom comment the other day, which had me reminiscing).
Now we get asked one simple question, [...]
In moving the twins room we have had the chance to adapt to their growing toddler needs. One of the obvious room fixes was to create a area were we could sit together and read. We created a spot on the ground that will prevent one baby from crawling right off the chair midway through [...]
