We had a relaxing and fun-filled weekend, which was nice after a sad week. Matt lost a classmate and was glad to have a distraction when we hosted a taco night for one of his former co-workers + wife. I made margaritas for everyone in an effort to quickly use up some of our liquor. We picked up brisket from the local butcher and bought all the fixins’ for some epic tacos. We need to do this more often! It was such…

I hope y’all had a nice weekend. And I hope those who have any relationship with motherhood were able to find some peace in yesterday’s holiday. I was talking to my doorman this morning, and he said his country just has a huge holiday to celebrate all women, but nothing for men. It’s funny because I was thinking yesterday felt more like husband’s day because Matt did so many nice things for me:) We had gorgeous weather in Brooklyn last…
These Mondays come and go so quickly! We had a low-key weekend with all of the usual routines. Friday, we had a fantastic dinner with friends at Celestine, a swanky and romantic restaurant with incredible views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. We opted for the family style menu and all the food was wonderful. We had such a great time, and it was a treat to be out on the town. I think I woke up on the wrong…
Happy Monday. Hope y’all had a great weekend. We did a lot of relaxing and, surprise, surprise, eating! We mixed it up on Friday night, and instead of pizza and wine, we had thai food and tequila:) I finally bought some Reposado to have at home and we enjoyed my favorite spirit-forward marg-ish drink: 1 to 1.5 oz reposado tequila .5 to 1 oz orange liquor (like Grand Marnier) juice of half a lime few drops simple syrup We tried…
You guys are amazing – thanks for all your support! I had such a fun weekend with my parents in town. Matt was on a much-needed guys weekend with his dad, so my mom and dad came to visit me Emerson. She was so quiet and shy when they first arrived, but quickly warmed up when Grammie brought this giant beanie baby out of her suitcase. We did a little shopping for spring clothes for Emerson at the Gap Outlet…
Hi y’all, How it’s going out there? We had a tough week (colds, molars, Matt traveling) followed by a fabulous weekend. Friday was our typical pizza and wine night. We switched things up by using pesto as the base instead of red sauce (although we used a thin layer of red sauce too), and I thought the pizza was one of the best we’ve ever made. It also had parmesan and mozzarella, chicken sausage, and a blend of mushrooms sautéed…
We have done so many fun things lately! Last week, we had an excuse to do a little mid-week exploring, as Matt’s sister was in town for work. We took Emerson to DeKalb Market Hall for lunch. I had a spicy thai crepe and it was such a treat! I need to go back because there are so many more things I want to try. Though it was chilly, we also got coffee and enjoyed a nice stroll along the…
Hey y’all, So sorry for the lack of posts. Thanks for your patience as I get my life together. We spent 10 days at my parents house on Bald Head before we arrived in Brooklyn. It was a much-needed rest after the craziness of the fall and moving out of our house. I absolutely loved being away from cars and having nothing but a grocery trip on the agenda each day. I fall more in love with the island…
