#OurDailyFeet


Last week I got a pleasant surprise when Eva Chen, former Editor in chief of Lucky magazine, commented that she loved my Instagram hashtag #OurDailyFeet. This hashtag got started when I was trying to pass time as my son napped in the stroller about a year ago and now I use it to tag selfies of Nicky's and mine daily outfits. Recently, I've taken a short break from doing these photos daily as the weather has cast me into less photogenic UGGs and Sorels. Another reason for the pause is that Nicky is becoming significantly more difficult to capture :) However, when I saw Eva doing her #EvaChenPose with her daughter Ren, I realized it's time to bring #OurDailyFeet back!

Follow me on Instagram to see our new outfits and favorite shoes :)

A Toddler on a Train


EN: Few weeks ago I took my son on a trip to the City. To make it more adventurous, we took the train and the Staten Island Ferry. This commute took a little over an hour each way. I was nervous going so far away from home on my own because I didn't know how Nicky would handle it, so I took all the steps possible to prepare. Despite my worries, it turned out to be a great time for both of us. Nicky loved the train ride, looked out at the water and the sunset on the ferry and ran about all excited once we got to Battery Park downtown. Here is how I prepped for the trip:

RU: В прошлые выходные, мы с Николаем отправились в Манхэттен. Я хотела прокатить его на поезде и пароме, поэтому дорога у нас заняла почти полтора часа в каждую сторону. Я очень волновалась, сможет ли он это все выдержать, поэтому готовилась заранее и продумывала каждый шаг. Но, несмотря на мои переживания, съездили мы отлично. Николаю очень понравился поезд, он сидел на стуле и раскачивался в такт. На пароме он смотрел в окно, не оторвать. Ну, а когда мы доехали до Battery Park, в Downtowne, я выпустила его гонять и он был абсолютно счастлив. Вот как мы собирались в поездку:

Blizzard 2016


EN: We are completely and totally snowed in! When they said there is going to be a blizzard, we thought, oh, it might snow a bit. But no one was expecting the roads to be shut down and for the snow to pile up as high as two feet!! Despite all the warnings, we ventured outside because everyone started to develop cabin fever. Nicky stubbornly held on to my hand and dragged me into the snow. I am now super thankful for all the winter gear I got for Nicky and myself as we came home still warm, dry and very happy to be back inside :)) 
Here is what we are wearing in the snow:

RU: Нам обещали что будет снегопад, а мы не верили. И еще смеялись, какие очереди в магазинах, чего это все бросились закупаться едой. Но сейчас, когда выпало уже больше пол-метра, снег все идет, ветер сдувает с места, а в городе ввели комендантский час, нам уже не смешно. И я очень рада, что запаслась вчера едой, водой, и самое главное, памперсами)) Все же, не смотря на запреты, мы два раза выбрались сегодня на улицу, ибо дома сидеть уже совсем невмоготу. Николай хмуро взял маму за руку и повел в сугроб. Ветер его сносит, а он все равно целенаправленно идет и идет... Гулять так гулять! Вернувшись после этого всего домой, я подумала как же хорошо, что я затупилась не только едой и памперсами, но и хорошей зимней одеждой. Вот что мы носим в снег:


For Mommy:


For Baby:
8. Columbia Snow Pants (super warm and easy to walk in!)

For Staying Healthy:
11. Sambucol Elderberry Syrup (to boost immunity)

Surviving Winter with a Toddler

Stroller is Kolcraft

How cold did it get in the last few days!!! Nevertheless, I got Nicky all dressed up in his head-to-toe winter gear and took him outside. But he wouldn't have it! He stood on the porch for a few minutes, then turned around and headed back for the house!!! After much convincing, he finally agreed to get in the stroller and go for a little walk. A few minutes of pushing the stroller later, I realized I forgot my gloves and, as my hands started to slowly turn blue, I thought of all the things I still need to get to make it through the winter with a toddler.

Here is a few things you will need this winter:
