  1. As an experiment, I'll only be tweeting as @littlegourmande for awhile. Follow me there!
  2. Old nanny, meet new nanny. New nanny, old nanny. Super awkward.
  3. I thought this was allergies (which I've never suffered before), but it's starting to feel more like just a terrible cold. Guh.
  4. @jennkloc Wow, my hometown library reports you to a collection agency if you owe more than $20 for more than 3 months. It's happened to me.
  5. @jennkloc Me either : / I figure SOMEONE has to support public libraries by paying all those overdue fines!
  6. @jennkloc Many public libraries lend framed artwork for free. Are you sure yours doesn't?
  7. Sometimes, @damgodfrey and I text each other from adjacent rooms in our apartment. We're so close, we can hear the other phone's text alert.
  8. Today may be my best day yet with these kids! Though, that's easy to say now they're in bed and I've got my French Roast. #goodnanny
  9. Mmm, I can feel my skin soaking up the sunshine! It's our first park day of the year. #nannydiaries
  10. @colinmorris Oh, shoot! How did that happen? Are those the Celio pants from Rome?
  11. Sleep disturbed by worsening of sore throat. Torturous.
  12. Cup # 2.5 of coffee and morning playtime with Mira. I'm still exhausted after a weekend of apartment hunting with @colinmorris
  13. I'm going to bed with the window open and I'm uncomfortably hot and yet so, so happy.
  14. @MichelaMargaret Ooh, sorry to be missing that! P.S. @PeteLovering tells me you may be moving to CMH?
  15. I just heard A MOSQUITO buzzing in my ear. I may have veggies sprouting in my bedroom, but it is WAY too early for that.
  16. @PeteLovering Nice to run into you tonight! A YS-in-Columbus happy hour may have to happen soon?
  17. I haven't gone to bed with wet hair in such a long time that this feels like a bit of a science experiment.
  18. Sometimes Mira crawls around with her bottle hanging from her mouth like a dog with a bone.
  19. Should nannies wear 1-piece bathing suits? I've always worn a 2-piece but am debating opting for something more modest. Thoughts?
