Blue Light Blocking Glasses for Under $20

November 19, 2020 by the thoughtful spoon

Blue Light Blocking Glasses // Porter Reusable Ceramic Mug This post includes affiliate links to brands and products that I believe in and love. To read our full disclosure policy, please click here. The jury is still out on if blue-light blocking glasses actually work, but after staring at a computer screen for 10+ hours a day, I figured it couldn't hurt to give them a try. Since returning to work in September and joining the new norm that is working from home full time, I'm definitely glued to my computer far more during the day than when I was in the office. I actually do wear reading glasses, but my yearly optometrist appointment would have been in April, soooooo that obviously didn't happen. I'm pretty sure my ...

Aveline’s Very First Halloween

October 27, 2020 by the thoughtful spoon

This post includes affiliate links to brands and products that I believe in and love. To read our full disclosure policy, please click here.Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore Ah, babe's very first Halloween! I don't know about other moms, but the pressure was real for me to figure out the perfect costume for Aveline. Tim and I had a few different ideas, many of which didn't include us (Halloween 2020 is a bit unusual in these Covid times), but after chatting it through, we knew we wanted to make it a family affair. To give you the full backstory here, Tim's nickname, bestowed on him by his father, is Tigger! We jokingly at first came up with the Winnie the Pooh idea, but after researching and finding that Eeyore costume ...

6 Pieces That Will Easily Elevate Your Fall Home Decor

October 21, 2020 by the thoughtful spoon

This post includes affiliate links to brands and products that I believe in and love. To read our full disclosure policy, please click here. This year has been a whirlwind to say the least. Covid hit NY right as we were welcoming our daughter into the world and with parental leave and our lease renewal coinciding, we decided to take the opportunity to leave the city and spend time closer to family. It's been weird being away from Brooklyn, but after renting a house, hard to imagine going back to a 900 square foot apartment. Regardless of where we end up once this is all over, we've been embracing home rentership, inclusive of adding our own little touches to make it really feel like home. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, so I'm ...

Behind the Name: Aveline Grace

June 26, 2020 by the thoughtful spoon

To preface this, naming a kid is hard ya’ll. Between associating names to people from the past, to potential horrible nicknames, to just plain disdain, it’s a miracle any of us have names! Like any rationally minded person, I’ve been collecting baby names since I was probably 20 years old. Anytime, I stumbled upon one I loved I would save it to a notepad list on my phone to ensure it wouldn’t be something I’d forget. Over the years I had collected well over 40+ names, going back every once and awhile and removing ones that had gotten too popular (RIP Harper and Liam :( ). I still had my favorites but when I got pregnant and Tim and I sat down to go through them, the list started to dwindle and quickly.  Luckily we did agree on ...

March 22nd we packed up our car with our then 10 d March 22nd we packed up our car with our then 10 day old for what was supposed to be a 4 week stint outside the city

Fast forward 9 months and while we’re so grateful for all the amazing moments we’ve had with family... it’s a little hard not to miss the place we called “home” for the past 10+ years 

Crowded subways, bodega conversations, drinks at the dive bar across the street, sushi delivery at 1 am, ferry rides, Summit on the pier... after work spin classes, wine on the roof deck, midnight strolls with the city lights reflecting on the water, the energy... hanging in the park, Saturday morning farmer market runs, New York bagels (and pizza) and above all else the friendships

2020 has taught me home truly is where the heart is but part of my heart will always be in NYC

This month is a special one because not only is Av This month is a special one because not only is Aveline 9 months old but her big cousin (and very best friend) is 3! 

We’ve hit some big milestones this past month: walking with an assist, figuring out steps, and standing on our own.... all with our big cousin cheering us on!
🥳

We love you HMJ!
