7 years ago —on 7.10.2018 at 1:11am—I became a mom for the third time in under 4 years, and it still felt like the biggest miracle 🫶🏻
I didn’t really document my birth experience / pregnancy journey back then, but I vividly remember enjoying every minute of that pregnancy. I had just stepped away from my full-time tech roles, and it was such a blessing.

Aiden was SO deeply loved from the moment he arrived—and honestly, it felt like he had always been part of our family.
I truly can’t believe my third baby—my first boy - is 7 years old - it feels like just yesterday he was a tiny baby in my arms.
Ariel wasn’t even 4 yet when he was born, and Liv was just 18 months old and barely walking.

I took a walk down memory lane while looking at photos of baby Aiden. Those were such WONDERFUL years—we still lived in Williamsburg, and every day was an adventure with my three tiny sidekicks.
Then the pandemic hit… but that’s another story.
Still, those early days with my first three babies were just DREAMY and blissful.
Ok, I’m crying now 🥹

Aiden my love, you are such a sweet, thoughtful boy, and an AMAZING big brother.
I’m so proud of the little man you’re becoming. No rush, my love—you’ll always be our baby boy.

Wishing you the most joyful year ahead.
These 7 years with you have been a true blessing. We love you so, so much 💙

Once upon a time, in a garden filled with laughter and sunshine, a mama and her girls were making memories. ✨
These tiny, perfect moments—the giggles, the twirls, the races through the grass—are the ones I want them to carry forever.
It’s so true that our ordinary days are the childhood our kids will remember. Let’s make them count 🫶🏻

Speaking of making everlasting memories 🥹
If you’re spending time out East this summer,
I can’t recommend booking a family photo session enough. I recently did a shoot with my daughters and Emma from Briar Rose Photo Co., she’s the newest addition to the team and based right on Long Island!
Whether you’re dreaming of golden hour family moments, beachside maternity portraits, or simply want to refresh your gallery wall, Emma is amazing.

Head to to see more of her beautiful work. Her calendar is already filling up. The girls and I had the best time with her, and I just know you will too. Take my advice and book that session 🤗

Last week I spent the morning with celebrating the media launch of the Butterfly 2 🦋- a beautifully designed, ultra-compact travel stroller that folds in just one second, fits in the overhead bin, and glides like a dream ✨

It comes with spacious storage and a comfy, adjustable seat — making it a serious win for busy families on the move 🙌🏻

It was such a beautiful morning. I wish I had brought my 7-month-old for the test drive — Liam would’ve loved it!
With summer travels ahead (and six kids in tow!), I’m genuinely excited about gear that makes life a little bit easier!

Also, LOVED spending time with my mom crew — always the highlight of my day!

Thank you, for having me, it was such a special morning!!

With summer approaching, are you on the hunt for the perfect travel stroller? ✈️

Amor, ch’a nullo amato amar perdona,
mi prese del costui piacer sì forte,
che, come vedi, ancor non m’abbandona“

“Love, that releases no beloved from loving, took hold of me so strongly through his beauty that, as you see, it has not left me yet.’

Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto V

Celebrating love in all its forms—not just the romantic kind that keeps you up at night and gives you butterflies, but also the love we pour into our children, our friendships, ourselves, and the beautiful, positive energy we bring into our lives. Today and every day ❤️

Quoting one of my favorite verses from The Divine Comedy, because when in Italy 🙃✨

I tend to get emotional with birth announcements, so I’ll keep it brief and sweet! Our baby boy (aka almost Halloween baby) joined our family on 10.30, just a few minutes before midnight, weighing nearly 9 lbs (4 kg) 😱I’m beyond grateful for a smooth, speedy delivery at 39 weeks 1 day, thanks to my amazing OBGYN and my husband’s incredible support! It feels like everything magically fell into place for his arrival 🙏

This is the first official post since his birth, though I did share a few stories during labor and after delivery. The outpouring of love in my DMs was a wonderful gift which I didn’t expect and it truly warmed my heart 🥺
I could not feel more grateful for all of you who’ve been with me throughout this pregnancy journey, thank YOU for being here 🫶🏻

Some highlights from our birth experience / hospital stay:

Posing with my little boy 👩‍🍼
Bathed & swaddled 💙
The proud parents!! 👩🏼👦🏻
FaceTiming the siblings for the 1st time 😂
Before the epidural…😿
After the epidural 👼
Meeting big bro Ethan 👶🏼
Holding him for the very first time ✨

Reality check: I’ve been dealing with postpartum edema since day 3 pp, so my face, hands, ankles and legs are swollen / look puffy.
It’s a common “side-effect” of pregnancy - mainly caused by a buildup of excess fluids in the body during pregnancy, and if you were given fluids via an IV during the delivery it can be even more noticeable. It isn’t the first time that I experience postpartum edema and it should normally resolve within 1-2 weeks.
Keep an eye out for any other symptoms, as it can sometimes indicate a more serious condition (like postpartum preeclampsia).

Another fun fact 😅 at 38 weeks, I developed some sciatic pain (due to the baby pushing on the nerve) which was gone after birth but came back once I got home and returned to daily tasks. The pain should subside within the next few weeks and I can’t wait to RUN around again chasing my besties 🏃‍♀️

Otherwise I feel great and baby boy is thriving and feeding like a champ 🐻🏆
Regular programming on here resuming soon 🤞🏻

“It is no accident, that the comma resembles a fetus-that curve of continuation. We were all once inside our mothers, saying, with our entire curved and silent selves, more, more, more. I want to insist that our being alive is beautiful enough to be worthy of replication. And so what? So what if all I ever made of my life was more of it?” - Ocean Vuon

Love this quote so much!! 🥹 and thank YOU Caroline for capturing these incredibly special memories

On a different note, I feel like I may go into labor soon (I’m 38 weeks at the moment)! Please keep your fingers crossed—for me—for a smooth and uneventful delivery! Sending 🫶🏻

Wishing a very happy (belated) birthday to my partner in crime!
Saying that these past few weeks have been hectic/busy would be an understatement, and yet I can’t fully grasp how we got through Maeve’s, Ethan’s, and our own birthdays so quickly, only to find ourselves here “somewhat ready” 😂 to welcome baby #6!

Jokes aside, I hope you enjoyed sharing your birthday cake with Ethan—it was pink, which was a mistake, but at least it was chocolate-flavored! - the handmade cards and the very thoughtful gift (noise-canceling AirPods—highly recommend lol) the kids and I picked for you!

Seriously though, I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that we will become a family of EIGHT 🤯 pretty much any day now, but I wanted to leave the third-trimester exhaustion/fog behind for a few minutes and officially celebrate YOU with this little post 💙

Buon compleanno + Mazal Tov to the best daddy I know—you are SO, SO loved!!

Stepping into another year, and honestly? I’m not ready.🥹
Another trip around the sun is almost here, and birthdays have never been easy for me, despite the immense gratitude I feel for everything in my life. 🙏✨

Yesterday gave me quite the scare—I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid, and for a moment, I really believed baby 6 was making an early appearance. But it was a false alarm, and he is still cozy inside.

I’m 37 weeks today, and I can’t help but wonder… will the little one decide to share a birthday with me? 🎂👶🏼

I suppose we don’t have many options but to wait… 🤰

How do you feel about birthdays—your own, especially? Do you embrace them, or is it a mix of emotions like it is for me? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

It’s BABY MONTH!!!

Well, I’m *technically* due in early November, but I don’t think I’ll last that long lol 😜

Thank you, *amori miei*, for the cutest reminder, and thank YOU, Caroline for capturing these super precious memories. I’ll cherish these pics for years to come!… and that group photo at the end of the carousel 🥹 (minus Ethan because he’s too cool lol).

About OCTOBER 🍂
A lot of exciting things are about to happen over here! Just to mention a few:

✨ We just celebrated our baby queen, MAEVE, who turned FOUR on 9/30—pics coming soon! 👑
✨ Ron’s birthday 🎂
✨ Ethan’s birthday 🎂
✨ My birthday 👵🏼
✨ Baby’s arrival 👶🏼
Well… maybe not necessarily in that order lol.

I’m not even taking into account school commitments, fall activities, Jewish holidays, and Halloween, of course! (Such a busy time for everyone!)

Given the *big month* ahead, should I ask for a push gift, you guys? 😂🎁

Better late than never 😅
Last week’s recap!

- Back to school was overall a success 🙏
The big kids reunited with old friends, met their new teachers, and are excited about the school year ahead.
- I badly injured my right foot the night before the kids’ first day of school. Let’s just say the thought of a cast or surgery at 30+ weeks pregnant didn’t exactly put a smile on my face 😂 Thankfully, my foot is healing fast!
- Had my 31-week scan, and baby is measuring 2 kg (4.5 pounds) already 😱
- Had a teeth cleaning that felt like a spa treatment (1. I was alone 2. there was music playing in the background lol)
- Maeve’s first three days of school were a success. Today is her first full day 🤞🏻
-It’s really hitting me hard that this pregnancy is flying by, and the baby will be here before I know it! Yet, there are still so many things I plan to do and want to get done in the next 8 weeks—including coming up with a first and middle name for our boy 💙 Your suggestions are super appreciated, and more than welcome!
-Lastly, today is the first full day of school for 4 out of 5 kiddos, and while I miss them dearly, I’m also looking forward to creating some *space* for myself and enjoying the last few weeks of pregnancy and *maybe* relax and put my feet up for once 😜

How is the back-to-school transition going for you?
