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 […]
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 […]
More than anything else, this post is a sentimental photo-montage of my daughter at the beach. It’s really important to me to document her first beach experiences because its so damn endearing how tenderly she discovers the world and finds her jam in new places. She loves greeting crabs and excusing herself around ants. Her […]
All I want to write about is how much FUN I had playing couples games on vacation. Somehow in my life I had yet to organize formal competitions against my family. WHY is it so much more fun than beating your friends?! (the unconditional love probably) For the full picture, we just came back from […]
I google search this article on repeat and I might as well put it somewhere easy to find. Here . Few months back, Lenny Letter published this fantastic read: Timed Conversations: The one trick that taught me how to be a better listener. Wanted to thank Lena Dunham and the editors of Lenny, you have helped […]
