Beach Necessities

[May 28]

Memorial Day Weekend is notoriously the first weekend of summer (regardless of that fact that Summer 2010 doesn’t start until June 21st).  And regardless of the fact that it is often not the most sunny and beautiful, we all prepare for hot days at the beach (or pool, or park, or stoop…) hoping for at [...]

The Taco Truck

[May 28]

Last weekend we trucked out to Hoboken (pun intended;) to visit the superdelicious and uberfabulous Taco Truck.  Just a few months old and already engaging crowds, The Taco Truck is a new venture from my old friend Shachar and her husband Jay. While The Taco Truck isn’t vegan, it is about as environmentally responsible as [...]

Bark Brooklyn

[May 27]

My friend Michelle and her son Ike (a.k.a. Avi’s boyfriend) met up with us the other day for some play time and lunch. Though it was entirely in the opposite direction of their home from where we were kicking the ball around, Michelle and Ike trouped over to Bark with us for some veggie dogs [...]

80′s Cut-out Top

[May 26]

I snagged this supercool new-to-me top at Guvnor’s and am loving it!  It’s the perfect combination of cute and comfy for going out.  I love finding great new vintage for my closet.  It means I’ve got something that no one else has AND I’m not contributing to the craziness of manufacturing and all that is [...]

I Learn Something New Everyday: BPA’s Are Hiding In Our Canned Foods

[May 25]

Ok, so yesterday I recommended using Muir Glen tomato sauce, but today I take it back. After reading yesterday’s post, my aunt called me to let me know that tomatoes in particular are dangerous to eat from cans (most cans that is).  Bisephenol A (a toxic plastic) is used to line most tin cans.  It [...]

Sunday Night Dinner

[May 24]

Sundays are my lazy days.  Even though we’re often on our way home from somewhere (which means packing, traveling, unpacking, etc) I just don’t feel like doing too much. The thing is, often on weekends we wind up eating out a lot or eating with family which means off our normal diet.  By Sunday afternoon [...]

Bensimon Sneakers

[May 21]

For Mother’s Day this year, we wondered into Madewell to buy Richie’s mom something cute.  We wound up getting her a fab long necklace and a printed scarf.  The thing is, I wound up with a few Mother’s Day gifts too! One of which is my new set of kicks.  I snagged these awesome high [...]

Sweats for Sitting Around

[May 20]

While I’d love to pretend that I’m capable of looking cute all day every day, it’s so far from the truth that I couldn’t even pull off the lie let alone actually looking the part.  The truth actually is that while style is really important to me, comfort plays just as big a role (if [...]

Anniversary #3

[May 19]

Today is our 3rd Wedding Anniversary and I just can’t believe it.  While at the same time it feels like our wedding was a million years ago, three years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Anniversaries and birthdays make me think about what I have, what I want, and what’s good and [...]

Clean Up Clean Up Everybody Everywhere

[May 18]

Chatting with my friend Stacey yesterday, we figured out that what being a mom of a toddler really boils down to is figuring out which snack is right for which time and always having that snack on hand (and enough of it for seconds oh and another snack for when they get bored of the [...]
