Five Friday Favorites for Moms

May 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

To be a mother is to know great pride, disappointment, love, anxiety, and joy. It can be the best and hardest job on Earth. We try and toil – comparing ourselves to others – while also promising ourselves we will do it our own way. As I reflect on this Mother’s Day I realize my… read more

Block It Out

May 9, 2013 Leave a Comment

I am having a little thing for the block-heel sandal these days… It’s high enough to give your legs a little va-va-voom but low enough to still be comfortable for running around town. The Lanvin I love. But alas the Zara is in my pay grade. Zara really never misses when it comes to current… read more

Herbal Remedies

May 7, 2013 Leave a Comment

Fresh herbs can transform a meal. A sprig of parsley makes a bowl of soup look regal. A few mint leaves make a cocktail more festive. And without fresh basil – tomato and mozzarella would be a lonely pair. While they are easily found in the produce section – I think growing them in your… read more

Sweet Treats

May 1, 2013 Leave a Comment

I am doing my best to kick a severe sugar addiction but when I just have to have something sweet I turn to these little round cuties. They feel guiltless and are the perfect snack with an afternoon cup of tea. (READ: I eat them with my morning coffee because the addiction is that bad.)… read more

They say the darndest things…

April 30, 2013 Leave a Comment

Today my children tested me. It’s starting to feel like a regular occurrence. I assume they plotted against me last night. I can imagine how it went down. Emma said, “Hey Soph, let’s whine all day tomorrow. And at mealtime be sure to goof around a lot so she inevitably cracks and feeds us both…. read more

In Full Bloom

April 29, 2013 Leave a Comment

Signs of spring are everywhere!   These tulips were clipped from our garden over the weekend. The red is insane! Their appearance makes up for every drop of rain that fell last month.   The only thing I like getting from the garden more than fresh flowers are fresh vegetables. Over the last few years I… read more

Good Night

Gifted

April 25, 2013 Leave a Comment

Do you give good gift? I know I myself feel that my gifts always seem a little lame and limp when settled next to a nice big pile of well-wrapped gifts at a birthday party, anniversary celebration, or baby shower. I’m just not that good at picking, wrapping, or ribboning gifts for others. It is… read more
