I am overwhelmed. This whole pantry thing has me thinking maybe I’ve bitten off more than I can chew right now. I wandered aimlessly around the aisles of Target this morning while Pea was at school, just looking at my list and looking at the shelves and looking at my list and looking at the [...]

My quest to reorganize my pantry has turned into a project of monumental proportions. Although we have a pretty little kitchen, it is just that. Little. It’s galley-style and so short on counter space and even shorter on storage space. And for someone who loves to cook as much as I do, it can be [...]

With all that’s gone on in our home over the last few weeks, I’ve gotten a little lazy in the kitchen. First, there’s Pea’s desire to eat nothing but cookies. And then there’s my husband, who’s been around the world for what feels like an eternity. When he’s gone, it’ s a lot easier for [...]

I am tired. We sleep trained Coco a few weeks ago, to great success, but the brief trip to NYC really did us in. She’s back to waking up again every two hours or so and I just don’t have the energy to let her cry it out right now. It’s so much quicker to [...]

I have found it! The foundation that is going to give me back at least a small semblance of healthy young skin! If you recall, last month I had a nasty run-in with the rearview mirror of my car and realized that alas! I do not have the right skin to be getting away with [...]

Before I had kids, I was a voracious reader. Since I can remember, I’ve been inhaling books at an alarming speed. I read all of the classics during my four years of high school… for fun. I made lists of books to read, I wrote notes in the margins of my books and I spent [...]

Several months ago, my husband had a show in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was a whirlwind affair, he basically flew in, worked around the clock, then flew out. There was not much time to see the sites, let alone load up on traditional Russian souvenirs. But I had asked him to please, please bring back [...]

Just kidding about the pork chops. But this was a banner day in our household, as Coco had her first taste of real food. Mommy made a homemade batch of applesauce for my littlest (and rapidly growing) girl and it was a winner. After the initial taste was met with a puckered up infant version [...]

The awesome week we had planned in NYC for our family turned out to be little more than half a day of misery. Well, not all misery. But a good amount of it. We flew in, no issues. Got to my brother’s office to pick up his apartment keys. Let ourselves in, rested up and [...]
