To kick off the warm weather travel season, we thought it was time to take a little road trip. Nothing that was too much of a long haul, but had beautiful scenery, fun things to do with interesting stops along the way, and plenty of great food, wine, and craft beer. We decided on […]
There’s no better way to see the fall’s famous fiery display of foliage, than with a road trip through the Northeast. So, when’s the best time to hit the road? Typically, leaves first begin to change color in the northern parts of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire around mid-to-late September. In these states the vibrancy of […]
Pop quiz: how are you doing your hair these days? Right now, my nine-month-old baby Emiliano is in that “grab and tug everything” phase, so I’ve been looking out for styles that keep my hair out of reach. For the past year, I’ve been a fan of claw clips (wear my hair like Rachel Green? […]
The new Netflix rom-com series, Nobody Wants This, follows a Jewish rabbi (Adam Brody) and an agnostic sex podcaster (Kristen Bell) falling in love to the disapproval of everyone around them. The first episode drops tomorrow. If you’re religious, have you dated someone outside your faith? Would love to hear about your experience, if you’re up […]

Also included in this […]

Each fall season, DIYers are getting more and more creative with the ways they are decorating these super squash. This year, instead of only carving that traditional Halloween jack-o’-lantern, change it up a bit with these amazing and […]

But if you volunteered to host this year, getting ready for turkey day can bring on on some serious stress. After planning your menu and shopping for your feast, cleaning […]

I poured over heirloom seeds online and set one reasonable-seeming goal: to hold a single vegetable in my hand that I’d grown from a seed. Spring rolled around. When I opened the […]
This fall, I’ve been inspired by women wearing monochrome looks (mostly black, brown, grey, cream, and white)… Jacket, T-shirt, jeans, flats. So, I tried my own last night — just added a chore jacket because it was chilly. Please ignore the giant shoes that my teenagers never put away! Bodega flowers always make me smile. […]
