Clementine Art Amazing

[August 31]

These days we do a lot of drawing, painting, sticker collage-ing and the such in my house.  Avital has found art and I love it!!! What I don’t love is all of the nasty ingredients so many companies we all grew up with and love include in their products.  ”Non-toxic” is not so cut and [...]

Williamsburg Eats: Mesa Coyoacan

[August 30]

We had the best weekend staying around Brooklyn.  This summer has been so hot in New York that we’ve been running out of the city every weekend to avoid the heat and find some swimming opportunities.  We decided to hang around this weekend and enjoy some time at home, visit friends, and take advantage of [...]

Vegan Lemony Blueberry Bars

[August 27]

Let me start by saying that I am no kind of baker.  Seriously!  I’ve ruined more desserts than I’ve successfully produced.  For the most part I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m way better off buying my baked goods rather than actually baking them.  I’ve found my go-to’s in the neighborhood and they [...]

Le Creuset Cast Iron Goodness

[August 26]

To be honest, I had to do a little thinking on what I was going to write today.  Nothing was shouting out at me, so I figured I’d do a little snooping through my pictures, kitchen, closets to see if I could find something that I wanted to tell you all about. Turns out, I [...]

Steer Clear of: Factory Farmed Eggs

[August 25]

As I’m sure you have all heard, there is a ridiculous recall on some 550 million eggs in the United States.  Now while I could spend this entire post giving you all reasons to cut eggs out of your diet and your life completely, I won’t (I’ll save that for another day).  Today my aim [...]

A Day In Livingston Manor

[August 24]

So basically, my father-in-law has had a bit of a dream for a long time now to start a camp for underprivileged kids.  Long story short (check out the site here for the long version): Steve grew up in the Bronx with not too much opportunity when a Dartmouth grad got into his father’s cab one [...]

Tacos, Burritos!

[August 23]

First, let me say sorry about the no post friday!  I was out in Connecticut at my parents’ house and the internet was down all weekend (yes I had a minor breakdown and some anxiety, but I got over it quickly and luckily it was the weekend!). I headed out to CT on Wednesday because [...]

A Little Herbal Trick of the Trade

[August 19]

So, I’m on my period this week (which is a good thing because it means I can start trying to get pregnant again!), but it’s not a good thing because the discomfort is killing me! I’ve been popping Advil more than I’d like, so I decided to consult Risa to see what herbal remedies she’d [...]

Sticky Fingers DC: Vegan Bakery Worth A Visit

[August 18]

As promised, here’s my dedicated post to DC’s own (and superfabulous) Sticky Fingers (vegan) Bakery: I’ll start by saying that the site does not do the bakery justice.  It’s a decent site, but a supercute bakery.  When my friend Casey introduced me to it, I immediately googled and scoured the site (of course).  I obviously [...]

Babies babies everywhere

[August 17]

So, as you all know, we’re trying again to make a baby and have serious babies on the mind.  The thing is we also have babies popping up in our lives left and right (which means that thing inside me which is looking for a baby to squeeze is actually getting babies to squeeze every [...]
