Inside our Mommy & Me Balcony Garden 1

Let me just start by saying that I have no doubt at all that the only reason we still have a garden that is alive and well nearly six weeks in is that Riley is in complete control of the process…thank God. After we averted a near disaster in the first few days after planting (see below), I figured that it was best for me to take a step back and let her and her cute little green thumb lead the way. We began our adventure with scouting trips to Lowe’s, Home Depot and our local hardware store (Strosniders) to get...

Smart + Stylish Mom Spotlight: How to Plan Exciting Mommy & Me Adventures 0

Today’s smart + stylish spotlight is on cultural enthusiast, Anjali Da Victoria Lobo, who's a 39-year old Policy Analyst and Strategic Campaigner for Labor Unions living in Washington, DC with her husband, Arv Moorthy, and son, Elan (22 months). I met Anjali last summer, when we were part of the same play group. We bonded over homemade baby food and honest conversations about the beautiful (and crazy!) art of motherhood. Yes, it’s definitely an art, and although everyone’s canvas is different, it’s amazing how much we all have in common at the core. Anjali’s calming...

I owe everything I am to my mom and here's why... 2

My mother never accepted mediocrity in our household and I can't tell you how grateful I am that she never budged...ever.  I'm only the mom I am today to Riley because my mom was who she was to my sister and me.                                           [Mom and me circa 1977 & Riley and me in 2013]At one point in high school, I was obsessed with the soap opera, "All My Children."  When mom discovered this, she made a...

How to Introduce Your Baby to Yoga 0

This time last year, Riley and I had just started our "Mommy & Me" Thursday outings after a looong fall/winter hibernation. Our first adventure was a six-week “Itsy Bitsy Yoga” class at Flow Yoga Center, which was a wonderfully Zen-filled experience for both of us. Riley had just turned five months old; it was her first time around other babies; and she was mesmerized by the new faces, songs and baby-friendly poses.  I loved seeing her so happy and free in the same space where I went for pre-natal yoga while she was still growing...

Family Fun: Our DIY Pumpkin Patch 1st Birthday Party 3

Last week was a HUGE week for BambiniWare--we officially made our "Grant" entrance into the world (sidenote:  I've been overusing "Grant" puns since I got married, but they are so hard to resist!) AND we celebrated Riley's very first birthday!  The launch went off without a hitch (yay!), but as the week progressed, my plans for Riley's outdoor pumpkin patch party slowly washed away with daily rain showers.If being an entrepreneur over the past 10 years has taught me nothing else, I've learned that in order to maintain my sanity, I have to create plans...
