Welcome to October. While we’ve still had warm days this week, it’s starting to feel more and more like fall around here. I think we’ve been to the splash park for the last time of this year’s summer season. I’m beginning to plan Charlotte’s Halloween costume and trying to help her remember what trick-or-treating is … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee — September 17, 2017 — Readings & Menu Plan
We took Charlotte on a cruise of Boston harbor mid-week as part of an end-of-summer celebratory outing with David’s company. The weather was a bit spotty with a mid-ride downpour, but we had fantastic views of the amazing skyline and brilliant clouds and sunset because of it. It was, ultimately, a low-key week and a … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee — August 6, 2017 — Readings & Recommendations
We spent the week on vacation, laying low and slowing down. There’s a lot to do to get ready for our second baby, and I also really appreciated the opportunity to take a break from the frenetic pace of work from the past few weeks. We also had the chance to get away for a … Read more

My dad snapped this photo from the window of his plane as it departed Minneapolis, en route for a visit to us in Boston. The back-and-forth between MSP and BOS is very familiar to me after over a decade living on the east coast and heading home for holidays. My parents are back in town … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee – Readings and Recommendations – June 18, 2017
The week started with blazing heat, or at least 80s and 90s feels hot relative to what we’ve had so far this summer, though by the end of the week, temperatures had retreated into the 60s. It’s always a little interesting to plan dinners ahead of time in weeks like this because you’re grilling and … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee – June 4, 2017 – Readings and Recommendations
Better late than never was my motto when it came to this week’s National Donut Day. We grabbed a few (delicious choices: glazed sour cream and apple cider donuts) on Saturday morning as we were out and about at the library and the park with Charlotte. Just in time, too, as it started to rain … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: Menu Planning and Reading Recommendations – April 23, 2017
A gray, cold, rainy week with breaks of sunshine peeking through. On my way home from work, I saw the daffodils out in bloom, their brightness and color contrasting against the slate river, cloudy sky, and bare trees. A sign that more and more color, warmth, and sunshine is on its way. Here’s what I’ve … Read more
