My five year old rarely makes food requests other than grilled cheese, so when she asked for chicken soup I nearly ran out the door to buy the ingredients. This recipe is very healthy and relatively easy. The best part is that you can really throw in any leftover pasta and a whole variety of… read more

Fashion: I want…

October 8, 2015 Leave a Comment

Since buying our home I have been on a fashion shopping freeze. Unless you are a chair, a roll of wallpaper, a sconce or a lamp – you should not be beckoning me to buy you. Nothing but things for the home for the foreseeable future for this gal! That being said I have been… read more

Art: Zaria Forman

October 2, 2015 4 Comments

I came across the exceptional artist Zaria Forman in only a way that the heavens above could manifest. Her father is a neuro ophthalmologist. (Yes, brilliance runs in the family.) I went to see Dr. Forman when my son JT, at 6 weeks old, presented with what we feared was a serious eye problem. While we waited… read more

Cool Things: The Flying Pool

September 23, 2015 1 Comment

Would you? Could you swim in this suspended pool? Looking at it fills me with equal parts terror and exhilaration. As “swim season” is wrapping up it felt appropriate to feature this incredible architectural feat.
