Hi there, Lilly is 20 months today, which feels so old all of a sudden (and I guess I’ll have to start counting her age in years, not months, soon?). We’re heading to Great Barrington and North Adams next weekend (on the agenda: MASS MoCA, Tourists, and Rubiner’s) and we took almost the exact same trip when she … Continue reading Fridge stocking, healthyish cake, and midwinter upgrades

Hi all, I hope you had a lovely long weekend. My parents were here, which meant Rob and I changed very few diapers and had the luxury of catching up on work and reading. It was also a balmy eight degrees in New York today, so we took that as a cue to stay inside … Continue reading Baking with toddlers, dry-skin remedies, and one excellent pasta recipe

Hi everyone, So it’s January! I was having dinner with friends and we were talking about how, unlike when we were in our late 20’s, no one seems to be cleansing or abstaining from alcohol this year. My theory is that a) we’re old now and go out less anyway and b) we’re generally less interested … Continue reading Project rice, drugstore updates, and other new things for a new year

Hi everyone, Happy weird Fourth-of-July-on-a-Wednesday week! We’re up in Maine, which is sleepy and wonderful. Our agenda for this week is pretty minimal: daily trips down to the beach; reading on the porch; and plenty of grilling. Oh, and and to see Incredibles 2 with my sister and a giant tub of popcorn. Here’s what’s going on … Continue reading Dispatch from Maine: G&Ts, porch reads, and baby blocks

Hi there, I hope you’re having a great week. Personally, I think it feels more like a Thursday than a Tuesday but what can you do? Serious stuff first: Like many of you, I’ve been horrified/confused/angry about what is happening with family separation along the US border. Two useful stories: first, a NYT piece about how … Continue reading Serious stuff, not-so-serious stuff, and the best advice I got for Lilly’s birthday

Hi there, I hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s crazy to think it’s already June, and extra crazy for us because Lilly is about to turn one year—!!! It really has been the longest shortest time. We’re throwing her a little party next weekend and since she can’t talk yet, we went ahead with an Italian aperitivo … Continue reading Let’s talk about summer because I can’t believe Lilly is about to turn one

Hi there, I’m back! From Italy, where we spend a magical week in Tuscany with my parents and Lilly, and from my little newsletter hiatus. The last few weeks have been a bit nutty with getting ramped up at Hungryroot (more on my new job here) and then getting ready to leave for our trip. But … Continue reading Dragging a baby across the Atlantic, Italy travel musts, a new spritz

Hi there, Big news here! I have a job. And not just any job—one that I’m crazy excited about. I’ve joined Hungryroot, a NY-based company that makes it easy to eat healthily on an everyday basis. My role is VP of Brand and Customer Experience, which means that I’m responsible for making sure every aspect of Hungryroot—from … Continue reading Life update (!), Catskill recs, and baby SPF
