Hi there, I have an Evernote of pre-baby to-do’s that I’ve been working through and one of them is: Write a newsletter! So here we are. I’m due in less than two weeks, which has me on high alert since I had Lilly at 38 weeks. This month has flown by but I’ve gotten in … Continue reading Baby countdown, summer cooking bucket list, and the great pajama hunt of 2019
Hi all, It feels strange to write about recipes and kid stuff when there are so many scary and sad things happening in the world but I don’t feel equipped to offer much more than this: There are a lot of bad people but many more good, and it’s up to us to be kind … Continue reading Rob’s grill guide (!), summer reading indecision, and hospital bag MVPs
Hi there, It’s going to be scary hot this weekend, which is no joke. It’s a great reason to stay inside, or to seek out the nearest body of water. We’re headed to Boston for a quick trip to celebrate Rob’s sister’s birthday and I’m already lobbying for a matinee movie. Here are some ideas for how to … Continue reading What to do when it’s a million degrees out
Hi there, Happy post-Fourth of July! We were up in Maine with my parents and sister and it was, as my mom says, #thewaylifeshouldbe. Lilly couldn’t stay out of the water even though it was still goosebumpy cold, and we ate all our meals on the porch. Now we’re back in Brooklyn and I’m starting the … Continue reading Toddler swim essentials, inexpensive foot fixers, and a summer salad to make on repeat
Hi there, Rob and I just got back from the Azores, a magical string of Portuguese islands that are just a five-hour flight from New York. I’d never heard of them until my friend and travel guru Brandon raved about his trip there, describing them as “Portugal Hawaii, but with cooler weather.” They’ve also been compared to Iceland because of … Continue reading Your next island vacation, ultra-refreshing summer drinks, and the easiest brow fixer
Hi there, Some news! As I shared last week, I’ve decided to leave Hungryroot. It was an amazing experience building the brand and working with the team and now I’m excited to reset before figuring out what I want to tackle next. I know how lucky I am to be able to take time in between things, especially with … Continue reading Type-A time off, big kid birthday celebrations, and non-terrible maternity swim
Hi all, We’re on our way to Maine for the long weekend and intend to do very, very little. I’m packing not one, but two books (ambitious but have to take advantage of eager grandparents when you can) and am planning on logging as much porch time as possible. Here are a handful of things to … Continue reading Important nut butter intel, belly-friendly leggings, and my favorite strawberry cake
Hi there, It’s gloriously sunny today, which is extra welcome after a very gloomy Sunday. I used to love rainy weekends because they were a great excuse to stay inside and get things done…but with a toddler it’s more of a toy/book/art/screen marathon—anything to keep her occupied. Needless to say, yesterday afternoon we made giant … Continue reading Springtime cooking (finally!), better thank-you notes, and a handful of Mother’s Day ideas
Hi everyone, It’s been a minute, as the kids would say. Things have been bonkers in a good way with work—we’re opening a real-life Hungryroot store in just over a week (!!!). It’s our version of a modern convenience store, with healthy grab-and-go items for your breakfast/lunch/snack needs, as well as all our fresh-cut veggies, sauces, proteins … Continue reading Hungryroot store PSA plus Lilly’s new wheels, tiny fishie love, and a must-bake cake
Hi there, Rob and I are up in the air, on our way back from a much-needed, much-appreciated mini break in Palm Springs. We left Lilly in Brooklyn with my parents and spent the weekend thawing out by the pool and getting our fill of palm trees and cacti. We definitely took the low-key, low-scene … Continue reading Palm Springs, winter salads, and page-turners
