Two years ago, on an October date in Westerly Rhode Island, Jared and I made a wish: to go to Saturday Night Live before we leave NY. I never envisioned waiting in line at 4am but I did drop hints to friends in the industry and the universe. AND last Friday I got the call! […]
Early on in this blog I had mentioned its purpose to be a time capsule, our literal life on Broome. This particular day I came home and there was a special quality to the light in our apartment. I felt awash with gratitude, comfort and appreciation for all the beauty in it. Elle’s room especially. […]
Oh gosh do I know this is expected. After 30 years of age there is only a matter of time before you try a cleanse and want to tell your friends about it. And I am exponentially more predictable because I live in Manhattan..and I write a blog. Whatever, this is a success story. I […]
This sweet Angel has been up half the night and so have I. She ceremoniously climbed out of her crib two weeks ago and we haven’t slept a full night since. The toddler transition into a big kid bed can be a struggle, it certainly was not the cake walk we hoped. However, last night […]
“Look Mamma, look at my pieces!” she said. Filling her purse with first rocks then flowers. She wore her purse to school all week. ♥ just a little sweetness for this day
You know that restaurant that everyone loves, it gets rave reviews and its right by your house- so you never go? The two places like that for me are Raoul’s and Uncle Boons. Both took me approximately 3-5 years to finally go to but now they are my only favorites. SO, here is my Uncle […]
Ahhh, getting to know you Elle. I am singing this song in my mind: Julia Andrews and her chorus of children live in my head. It’s new since motherhood. It’s lovely actually. So- Elle is TALKING. All about the birds and the bees and the foods she eats. It’s the level of Italian I peaked […]
Quick post today, sharing some salad inspiration. It’s been 96+ degrees lately in NY and I am not allowed to apartment cook unless its under 80. So depressing. So lots of salads this week and my favorite is with peaches and burrata. SUPER easy: Arugula, endive, ripe peaches, red onion, a few great cherry tomatoes, […]
This was our first 4th of July weekend in the city and we did not hate it. We pretty much had Nolita to ourselves. Check out Elle in these sunglasses, she looks like she feels invisible. . . I might be projecting. The photo above was taken in our city backyard, Elizabeth Street Garden, as […]
Few things smell more wonderful and comforting than Marcella Hazan‘s tomato sauce and this rainy weeknight I could tell my family needed some hygge. Thank goodness for this recipe, it is so easy! 3 ingredients and it simmers away politely making magic of butter and tomatoes. My dad introduced me to it not too long ago […]
