Victoria is our turkey!

[November 18]

Even though Thanksgiving means turkey eating to so so may people, and that makes us really sad in this house, I still really love the holiday.  All the hoopla and pomp, autumnal foods, flavors, and smells, family, kitchen hanging, squash, brussel sprouts, pumpkin pie, the whole nine. That said, the whole dead turkey thing on [...]

Bounce!

[November 8]

I can’t help but feel like my life is a mini struggle between finding convenience and responsibility. I do my best on a regular basis to make sure that as a family we incorporate safe and sustainable practices, but often at times I know that itís only reasonable that I make some compromises to get [...]

Nature and Art: A Fabulous Combination

[June 9]

I found this video through an awesome blog: Black Eiffel that I read every so often for design inspiration.  I fell in love with this clip and wanted to share.  It reminds me how special this world is and how worth it it is to protect it!  It also reminds me how much more of [...]

Stone Barns

[April 7]

A few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon we took a trip up to Stone Barns with my parents to get Avi some face time with animals and a good amount of fresh air for all of us. It was my first time there and I was thoroughly impressed.  While the farm and restaurant are far [...]

miYim Organic Baby Toys

[April 5]

My sister-in-law is about to have twins supersoon and it got me thinking about what to bring to the hospital for them when they’re born.  We’ve already bought her some necessity type things for the shower, so I thought a little something cute would be nice for when they arrive. miYim is an earth-friendly company [...]

Babycakes in My Brooklyn Bed AND at Disney!

[March 14]

I’ve mentioned Babycakes Bakery in passing here and here.  Babycakes is a refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan, kosher bakery.  And it’s damn good! Every time we’re out to dinner in downtown Manhattan I make Richie do a drive by on the way home for some post dinner goodies (thank goodness they’re open [...]

Holton Farms CSA in my building!!!

[March 11]

A while back, my friend Bret wrote us a guest post on produce, CSA’s (community supported agriculture), and Holton Farms (here).  Since then (maybe even before then) I’ve been totally into finding a local CSA to get me some superfresh and local produce on a weekly basis.  I researched a bunch of programs, but between [...]

Fun Baking Tools I know I usually post about a recipe, but I thought this time I’d share with you  the fun baking tools I have.  These are by no means absolute, must have, I can’t make a cake without them, but they sure are fun to have in the kitchen and make baking a [...]

A New Age and The World of Topshop

[February 23]

Since Topshop opened in Manhattan Richie and I have been a little obsessed.  The clothing is well priced and totally stylin.  Lots of it is vegan, though not eco-friendly or organic per se, but it is easy on the pocket and the eyes. Here’s what I will say for them, they give discounts for students [...]
