one more glass

It’s a Wednesday night and you’ve just wrapped up dinner with a few of the girls at a little place you’ve walked past a hundred times but hadn’t ever been to. You’re a casual two glasses of wine deep and feeling chatty, while simultaneously dreading the next two days of ...

sunday morning musings (005)

Had the second wave of spring birthdays this week and it was both special and sad. There is nothing worse than not being able to properly celebrate the people you love on their birthdays. But we are making the most of it and finding ways to make this year special in its own shitty way! I am BACK to ...

my quarantine cocktail

I’ve been in a cocktail rut! I’m tired and/or bored of all my usual drink choices, so I decided to come up with a new one. It’s basically a faux margarita – less sweet and more tart. So you can, you know, drink more of ’em! Perfect for cinco de mayo and the hot summer ...

Thought this post on COJ was the sweetest. Since I’ve been Quarantining with my family and not in Brooklyn, I can’t stop thinking about how excited I am to FINALLY hang stuff on the walls when we eventually get back to our apartment. I would love to use some of these ideas – ...

twenty six

Today I turn 26 and I can’t believe it. Part of me feels like I should still be in high school, and part of me feels like I’ve aged 15 years in the past 18 months. Part of me feels like “twenty-six, that’s IT?” Kidding, I’m kidding. Mostly. 25 was a RIDE. To be ...

We lost our sweet boy Dudley this week, and every day since has been a blur. We’re going through the motions over here and trying to look on the bright side, but man, it hurts. So happy for my boy, and so sad for us. In the last pictures of him I took, he had a rainbow all over his face and I ...

sunday morning musings (001)

Can somebody invent an app that lets you hum a song and it tells you what it is? I have had the same song stuck in my head for three days and don’t know any of the words so I can’t look it up! Have you ever noticed how much forsythia is in your neighborhood? I hadn’t ever, but I ...
