Urban babies are cool
I frequently babysit the cutest little girl in Tribeca. She is a NYC baby- has super trendy clothes, has a nanny, goes to music, gym and soccer classes, already interviewing at prestigious preschools and is so adorable.
We often read a ton of books but this is my favorite: Urban Babies Wear Black. Each page has something an urban baby does. I will usually read saying: Urban Babies drink ___ and she'll fill in: latte's. Or Urban babies go to the opera. Urban babies know how to hail a taxi. My favorite is the urban babies go to yoga. And actually she has been to yoga once before w/ her mom. So when we read that page, she'll then get on the floor and do the downward dog pose. Did I mention she's not even two years old?

Overheard in New York
No, no, this isn't from the website- which I occasionally check and aside from the crudeness - it cracks me up or leaves me wondering who these crazy people are in my city.
I overheard what I'm about to tell you while I was waiting for an interview. (And to keep yall updated, the job hunting is going ok and progressing but leaving me exhausted and missing my old company, old co-workers and everything that was normal and comfortable. And I've also come to realize that it's probably not cool when they ask me what I really want to do with my life, to answer that I just want to get married, have children, read to them every day, make crafts and make dinner. Yeah, let me know where I can interview for that. But that's the update.)
Back to the point.
Setting: two male co-workers in an office next door chatting.
"Dude, what I've learned from the past four months of marriage is: Happy Wife, Happy Life".
And both erupt in laughter.
And I'm sure it's probably soooo true.

This News Just In
Well you'll never guess what.
So, before I moved to New York City, I lived on Long Island. I lived in Lloyd Harbor or Lloyd Neck- same thing. It's located on the North Shore of LI, right near Huntington. I lived there when I was a nanny and grew to love, love, love the area.
Now, guess who's moving there.
Brad and Angelina!

Um, hello. Why do they have to move there now that I'm gone!??! Let's just say, that Nicholas and Alec could potentially have some pretty awesome playdates w/ Pax & Maddox. And, well, I don't have a job. Perhaps I could be Knox and Viv's new nanny.
So, that's the latest news. I will leave you with my favorite pictures of the boys at Caumsett State Park, back in the day. Surely a place where the Jolie-Pitt crew will have many a picnics.

All I've got
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
