Bagels used to be one of those foods that I never considered making because they already seemed to be perfected and perfectly wrapped waiting for me in the bakery aisle. That was until I came across this recipe in Rue mag. I decided to make these the other night once the kids were in bed. […]
I imagine that a dining room may not be a big deal to most of you, but this is the first time we’ve actually had a room specifically for dining. Not a coffee table, or a nook or a breakfast bar. A real dining room. We make it a point to eat as a family […]
Stripes are everywhere right now. I’ve recently had fun sporting my striped espadrilles here, and a striped cotton skirt here. I don’t think they can actually be called a trend, but I’m happy to see them everywhere I look. Above you’ll find a number of pieces that caught my eye. I’d gladly sport any of […]
Madewell top, LOFT pants, Kate Spade sunglasses, Marc Jacobs watch, Bloomingdales bangles, Macy’s necklace, Sam Edelman sandals (similar) We decided to take a last minute trip back to Hoboken this weekend. We’ve been gone for only three months, but it feels like an eternity. It was a whirlwind of seeing friends, dining out, walking (oh […]
All too frequently I get the desire to redecorate our home. I was in a home decor store last week and found myself envious of the owner who was rearranging her store, again and again. Unfortunately, that’s not very practical. I have a hard enough time getting my husband to lift the couch for […]

Highlights require a lot of maintenance and it’d be great to have a little break on the up-keep. I’m hesitant however, because […]
Since our children happen to have birthdays that are two weeks apart, it seemed fit to have a combined birthday party. I figure we’ll get away with this as long as we can. We were leaning towards a Peter Pan/Tinkerbell party, but when my son decided that Captain Hook may show up he nixed the […]
Anthropologie top (old), Target necklace, Kate Spade sunglasses shown below (old), JCrew shorts, JCrew Espadrilles, Michelle watch As soon as these shoes (seen previously here) and shorts arrived from JCrew I knew I wanted to pair them together. We threw a Mickey/Minnie party for our son and daughter over the weekend and although I wasn’t […]
I had a request from a close friend of mine to post about dressing post-baby during the summer. I’m not in this position this year, but I have been twice in the past. The summer months can be brutal, and on top of that you’re trying to lose baby weight, haul around a baby (and […]
