ReplyDeleteThis one is MINE (I hope!!!!!). I was pretty much raised at the ocean and Lake Winnipesaukee when I was in New Hampshire until I was 19, and now I'm stuck in the stinky Utah desert. Blah. Can't wait to move back to the east coast (and never leave;)! When I go to the beach, I have to have a novel to read. And my family. Without them, I don't enjoy it nearly as much!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, love.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item to bring to the beach would either be my camera (if I don't plan on being in the water much) or beach chair.

ReplyDeleteMan Emily, I am sure I#m not the only one who has been waiting for months to get some much wanted information from you. I know you#re happy to not be pregnant for the first time in many years, but we need your mommy advice! ;)
ReplyDelete-How is it possible that you showed so late in your pregnancies? (genetics?)
-How much weight did you gain aprox. during pregnancies?
-Were you able to breastfeed after you lost weight so rapidly after giving birth to Lydia?
-Any tips how to avoid stretchmarks?
-Did you work out while pregnant?
-How the heck do you get your children to sleep ?
Please! we need an article tackling these questions ;) xoxo
