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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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
This is something I have been thinking about lately. I read How to Not Give A Fuck for 24 Hours and thought- at least someone in my family lives up to this practice, Elle gets it ♥ I need to have more fun so I’ve been applying this outlook to my work day… jk… my non fireable […]
Elle slept in on Sunday morning. Hallelujah! And this leisurely start inspired me to make a special breakfast: one that Elle could assist me in making- Yogurt bowls with fancy granola and chocolate coconut shavings. She is so eager to help at this age. Normally I am chopping and flames of grease are flying but […]
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 […]
