Last summer we took Atticus to Water Lab (a glorified splash pad) at Pier 6 in Brooklyn and it was the funnest! I kept meaning to take the kids and the other morning I said okay we are leaving in 30 minutes and going to Water Lab – its happening. So we left the apartment and squoze onto the subway during rush hour and had a 45 minute subway ride to Clark St. and walked to Pier 6. When we finally got there it was CLOSED!!!!! It was closed for cleaning and didn’t open til noon that day, but when we got there it was like 8am! So we decided to do playgrounds, soccer fields, running on the pier, ice cream, and yummy food all on the pier and it was soooo fun. The kids had a blast and just as we were leaving we saw the splash pad open but by then, they were so ready for a nap. We are pretty strict with our napping schedule and like to be home for their naps so they get the full 3 hours otherwise – it ain’t pretty! I think Pier 6, Top of the Rock, and Sheep’s Meadow might be my favorite spots in the city. Just so pretty!! Love this city.
Have a good day everyone!!!

Omg where is Atticus shirt from?!
This is the cutest post! Funny thing I wanted you to know—I go to a high school in Oxford, MS and we all have laptops given to us by the school. Every single one of my girlfriends along with about every other girl in the school reads your blog ALL DAY LONG. We have this really weird system that blocks websites and last year it blocked your blog for a day or two and literally every single girl in the school like cried about it!!! haha:) We got our computers back on the first day and the first thing I did was check to see if the blog was unblocked and it wasn’t and I was like “omg Amber’s blog is unblocked!!!” and everybody like cried tears of joy hahahaha!!!! We love you and your blog!!! It keeps us going throughout the school day for real.
Hi! Could u please post a sample schedule of Rosie’s day? I am amazed she is sleeping for 3 hours during the day. My baby is one week younger than Rosie and I would love to know how you do it?
Love these photos, your kids are just the cutest!

Hi Amber! You guys have such a beautiful family! I loved the pics and the place! Want to go there when I go to NYC! 🙂 By the way, I’ve sent you a message through the “contact – have a question”… Can I hope for an answer soon? Thank you!!

Hello Amber, you are truly inspiring. I’m starting a business and have hired a nanny part time to allow for “business time” but I end up using the time up cleaning and running errands. How do you do it? You make it seem so easy. David seems to help a lot. My husband works like 60 hours a week so it’s basically me and my 21 month old. BTW, did I mention I’m 7 months pregnant? Yup. Please help.
I cant get over how cute your kids are!! Atticus makes the cutest faces! And you look adorable with your hair in a high ponytail

Hi Amber! I have never left comment before, but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your blog 🙂 I have followed your suggestions on many beauty items (like the Moroccan Oil serum, No. 7 foundation and even hair extensions) and am so happy with them. I do have one question though… I see this bright orange nail color in many of your pictures. What is it!? I am so in love!
Thank you!
I love Rosie’s swimsuit. She is so cute!

how freaking cute are these cuties, I can’t get enough! http://www.oliviaschueller.com/?p=412
That sucks that they were closed! Interesting to know about their nap schedule. When you say it won’t be pretty, are they just really cranky without their naps?
http://www.dressupchowdown.com
Yeah, the only time Rosie is sad is when she doesn’t get a nap on time. Atticus is cranky if he doesn’t get his full nap! My kids love their sleep!
Such a beautiful family! Love that you found Clark street- so fun!!

Same thing happened to me over the weekend but with the pool. I got ready, sunscreen on and all and drove the 20 minutes to the local pool and boom closed!! Glad to see you guys had fun at the pier anyways, the photo of Atticus with your sunglasses on upside down is the best!

We might be moving to Brooklyn Heights which is super close to Pier 6 so this makes me happy that we will have a great play area close by for the kids! Are Atticus and Rosie on the same schedule? I know you’re not a mommy blog but PLEASE make a post about their schedules and any differences/similarities between how Atticus was at Rosie’s age? Pregnant with number two over here and would love to know what to expect/any advice! #2under2
Oh my goodness, these photos are the cutest things. I love the one of your little boy with your sunglasses on upside down. Capturing precious memories in beautiful images. 🙂

3 hour naps? Girl, what is your secret?! I have twins that are Rosie’s age, and I WISH they took 3 hour naps! 🙂 Your adventures inspire me to get out there with my babies and I think of your LONG flights when I’m on a plane with whining twins….Longest we have done is 6 hours. Cheers!
Love these! <3
