{My girl, on top of the world.} I was nineteen the first time I decided that feminism was a load of crap. I was a co-president of NYU’s Women in Film association, had nearly completed my minor in Women’s Studies, was one of only nine women in my class at Tisch’s prestigious Kanbar Institute for Film and TV, and I… Read more →

Must Love Dogs
Seven years ago, when Scott came home from the restaurant he managed and told me he was going to start a dog walking business, I was not super psyched. But as it turned out, this was no ordinary dog walking business. Scott and his partner Jesse had big plans, and they got to work FAST on putting those plans into… Read more →
Friday Never Hesitates
It has been so mega awesome having my nieces here this week. Dee could not possibly love them any more, and really, neither could I. {Also? I took that picture with my iPhone. WTF technology?} You guys know I saw Eva be born, right? Can you believe she’s 7? I totally can’t. In other news, have you seen this video?… Read more →
A Little Obsessed: Furniture Shaped Like Animals
As you may know, I’m pretty stalkery/obsessy about all things designed by Christiane Lemiuex and her Dwell Studio team. So it’s no surprise that I fell hard and fast for their Gazelle side table from the moment their first furniture catalog (which, if you’re not signed up for, is like a beautiful love letter to mid century style that comes… Read more →
Some Things Just Shouldn’t Be Photographed And Posted On The Internet. (Even I have standards.)
[First of all I have to say that today is Dee’s first full day of school/camp without me having to be there, and THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME. I feel weird. I feel liberated. I feel psyched. I don’t feel sad. Is that wrong? It’s hard to feel sad when kiddo is so excited to go, and we reunite reinvigorated, right?]… Read more →
Purgeday Thursday on Tuesday. Or Whatever. It’s Back. Yes, Again. Because Life is a Cycle.
I can tell when I need to purge because I literally can’t think straight. (Or manage a regular blog-posting schedule.) It’s a cycle I’ve hung on to for almost as long as I can remember. In elementary school it was my back pack and the cubby under my desk. In High School, it was my locker and my car (and… Read more →
A Week In Pictures (That’s Like THOUSANDS OF WORDS)
Is that cheating at blogging? Whatever, I’m doing it anyway, because I am unhealthily obsessed with Instagram. I know I said I would post the return of Purgeday Thursday this week, but then shit stopped being polite and started getting real, and also I just suck terribly at self-imposed deadlines. But soon, friends and lurkers. {Like you care.} Happy Saturday! Read more →
Baby’s First Graphic Novel
Our friends Nick and Chelsea (who are having their first kiddo in October — WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE NICK AND CHELSEA!) stopped by over the weekend and gave this awesome book to Dee: {The Power of Cute by Cherise Mericle Harper} Read more →
The Greatest Purge I’ve Ever Purged
Sunday night, Scott and I collapsed onto the couch, a little sunburned, totally exhausted, and really, really happy. Nope, we hadn’t spent the day at the beach. (Not that you thought we did, since I bombed pretty much every form of social media available with news of my purge) We had an epic, massive, awesome Yard Sale. Let me remind… Read more →
I’ll Have A Heart Melt On Rye
This week, Scott threw his back out. Which sucks. Except then this happened: He’d been laid up for a day or so, and she asked for what had to have been the thousandth time for him to come play with her. Again, he declined (though I kind of love the way it so clearly pains him to say no to… Read more →
