I’m back, made a human

My last post on ways to prepare for baby two is comical. I’m so glad I wrote it. Remember that phrase: ‘Wanna hear god laugh? Tell him your plans’- it IS funny. We have been good. Living inside a tornado. Our new baby girl, Maeve, is a very good baby. Healthy, happy, and we haven’t been […]

In the days before baby 2

Just thinkin. Laying here 39 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl and wondering if there is a list somewhere of things I should/could be doing to prepare. Everything practical is ready and we have one week left…approximately. Already working from home. The needed stuff has been pulled out of storage, lovingly washed and folded […]

Bird Soup and Weekend Updates

Elle in the garden making soup for some birds. Shot with the Leica de-lux. The instrument that has made me feel like I’m always catching the good lighting. Some recent updates: Elle’s Dad has been in South Africa working this past week and nearly being trampled by a mop of elephants. True story and how […]

Elle’s

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. […]

The Whole30 because I’m over 30

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 […]

For when you miss a lentil

I am starving. Day 17 of this Whole30 cleanse and I am so sick of meat- I want to dive my face into this bowl of lentils. This is my day 31 meal of choice. With 4 glasses of Pinot Noir. The only thing convincing me to stick to this cleanse is the Whole30 timeline […]

A more inspired road.

A few seasons back, I wrote a post on wanting to have a career to love and I’d like to report- for the first time in my life I believe I’ve found myself on a road that feels inspired. Through contrast, advice, and many interviews I noticed my values started to stand out. I sought lots […]

If anyone else still cares about Meatloaf…

My mom never ruined meatloaf for me. Thanks Mom!  So I approached it with an open mind in my adult life and found a recipe my family loves. Paul Prudhomme – you taught me how to make something delicious! Cajun Meatloaf. If you’re moderately into football and the temp is under 60 degrees, this is […]

Learning to Sleep. Again.

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 […]

Sweetness of a pocket purse

“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
