Hi all, We’re on our way to Maine for the long weekend and intend to do very, very little. I’m packing not one, but two books (ambitious but have to take advantage of eager grandparents when you can) and am planning on logging as much porch time as possible. Here are a handful of things to … Continue reading Important nut butter intel, belly-friendly leggings, and my favorite strawberry cake
Hi there, It’s gloriously sunny today, which is extra welcome after a very gloomy Sunday. I used to love rainy weekends because they were a great excuse to stay inside and get things done…but with a toddler it’s more of a toy/book/art/screen marathon—anything to keep her occupied. Needless to say, yesterday afternoon we made giant … Continue reading Springtime cooking (finally!), better thank-you notes, and a handful of Mother’s Day ideas
Hi everyone, It’s been a minute, as the kids would say. Things have been bonkers in a good way with work—we’re opening a real-life Hungryroot store in just over a week (!!!). It’s our version of a modern convenience store, with healthy grab-and-go items for your breakfast/lunch/snack needs, as well as all our fresh-cut veggies, sauces, proteins … Continue reading Hungryroot store PSA plus Lilly’s new wheels, tiny fishie love, and a must-bake cake
Hi there, Rob and I are up in the air, on our way back from a much-needed, much-appreciated mini break in Palm Springs. We left Lilly in Brooklyn with my parents and spent the weekend thawing out by the pool and getting our fill of palm trees and cacti. We definitely took the low-key, low-scene … Continue reading Palm Springs, winter salads, and page-turners
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 there, Happy holidays and thank you so much for sticking around while I took a not-so-brief hiatus to get settled into my role at Hungryroot and to figure out how to be a working parent. Neither is totally sorted but things are starting to feel much more normal, so I’m excited to take another shot at sending you … Continue reading Christmas Miracle? (Or: I’m back!)
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
