We’ve had a pretty full week to close out the month of June. My parents are in town, which means there are lots of get-togethers for dinner, and nights run later than we’re used to. It’s so much fun, but I notice the little bumps in the road when I get disconnected from my routines … Read more

We’ve had a lot of chilly days this week, but right now, we’re in the middle of a glorious 60-degree sunny weekend. Everyone is out an enjoying the green spaces in the city.

What a whirlwind it’s been over the past week: our wee one has arrived! A bit ahead of schedule, but all is well, and we’re home and settling in. I was convinced I’d stay pregnant through the month of October and at least a week into November, but instead, we welcomed our baby last weekend. … Read more

We’ve had a bit of a break this past weekend in terms of social schedules and were able to spend some unstructured downtime at home. We chose to use that time to move Charlotte to her big-kid bed and out of the crib, which meant tears and frustration at night and an early riser in … 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

This week has had a balance of hot and temperate days. On the days that are cool for the summer months, I’m trying to take advantage of the absence of heat and cook some of the foods I usually avoid in stifling weather: this week, it was brownies, last week it was cauliflower cake. On … 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

We got our first real taste of summer this week after a drizzly, chilly May and early June. We’ve gotten in to a bit of a routine of having a more elaborate weekend breakfast and then hitting the Esplanade along the Charles River for a bit of activity, nature, and to let Charlotte run around … Read more

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

I hope everyone’s enjoying the weekend. These photos were from a few years ago when David and I took a road trip through Gettysburg and spent the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend visiting around the monuments and cemeteries and retracing Pickett’s charge. It was a somewhat chilly, misty weekend, which is kind of close to … Read more
