New Year Intentions
I’m not a fan of resolutions. I’ve tried them in the past, made lofty goals to be more organized, go to the gym, start drinking water with lemon at every meal, and to stop saying the word ‘like’ whenever I get nervous, but it seems as quickly as I make this list, I am reminded of how hard and daunting it seems to keep these … Continue reading New Year Intentions
Christmas: Seaside Style
I meant to share these pictures earlier, but I was too busy on the beach doing a whole lot of nothing with my boys. So now that we are back at home, and my boys have rediscovered their gifts that Santa left them, I have a few minutes to spare. Christmas decor a la beach! Enjoy! Continue reading Christmas: Seaside Style
Saturday Stroll
The boys and I took a morning stroll around our beachy ‘hood. I love how the dusty, gravel roads are adorned with these overgrown, magnificent grove trees. And how all roads lead to the beach… Continue reading Saturday Stroll
Seaside Post Office
The Seaside Post Office is beyond charming. It makes me want to buy extra-fancy, monogrammed stationery and write hand-written notes to send to my people. It makes me never want to send an e-mail ever again. If I ever become a postal worker, I want to clock-in here. Continue reading Seaside Post Office
Seaside Sunset
We are welcoming the New Year at the beach. The ocean is beautiful and serene here on 30A. The daily pace is slow and leisurely. It saunters. It relishes. It rejoices. It exhales. Last night’s captivating sunset was a reminder of that. Continue reading Seaside Sunset

I’m Dreaming
…of a white Christmas. However, it looks like we may have to settle for sunny and mild in the Midwest instead. Which would be fine any other time of the year, but…it’s December. Mid-December. And Christmas is a week away. And I need snow. My kids need snow. I need to see my puppy frolic through his first snow. Not to mention I have two … Continue reading I’m Dreaming
Chasing Waterfalls
We took the boys to the zoo yesterday. The weather here has been exceptionally lovely, and I feel guilty when we aren’t outside enjoying it. The fresh air yesterday also allowed for a much needed break to clear the head and heart. I’ve been to the zoo countless times, but on this occasion, for some reason, I kept noticing how many waterfalls are all around … Continue reading Chasing Waterfalls
Classic Clutch
I just discovered this beautiful custom-made clear clutch from MNO.logie. It’s equal parts retro glamour and elegantly modern. The clutch comes with a detachable and interchangeable pouch inside, so you can choose from a black, white or leopard print pouch, depending on your mood. You can add a personalized engraving for that one-of-a-kind custom feel too. Timeless. Continue reading Classic Clutch
First Glance
Welcome to cityMom! My name is Genevieve and I am a…wait for it…city mom! If you would have asked me ten years ago if I would be living and raising a family in the city, I would have wholeheartedly said you’ve got to be kidding. I just never thought it was an option. But flash forward and here I am, with two young boys and … Continue reading First Glance
