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…
Our weekend in Southampton was filled with delicious food, laughter, cocktails, and fresh air. Ashley and Bo have been great friends to us since we moved to Brooklyn, so it was fun to do a getaway with them and the babes. Not only do they like food as much as we do, but they like to cook much more than we do, and did a lot of the dirty work:) Highlights of the weekend included… bay breezes, our personal bartender…
Heeyyy, I spent the week down in North Carolina, and I just couldn’t get over how green it is. And we had bright blue skies Monday-Saturday. Aside from two flight cancellations, a crying baby who didn’t want me on the phone and computer, and waiting all day to figure out my plans, the actual solo plane ride went well. We got on an 8:30pm flight, and Emerson stayed up until we landed at 10pm, and then finally feel asleep. Tuesday,…
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…
We’re back from a lovely weekend on the North Fork of Long Island. I came down with a bad cold on Thursday, so I was feeling bad for most of the trip, but we still managed to have a great time. Even the smallest cold makes me appreciate how wonderful it feels to be healthy! We left Friday morning. Emerson was so excited to see her carseat that she practically jumped in it and then accidentally fell asleep on the…
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…
