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 – July 9, 2017 – Reading and Recommendations
It felt like both a very short and very long week with the 4th of July holiday smooshed into a Tuesday. We debated about keeping Charlotte up for the fireworks this year. She’s two and a half, so she kinda knows what they are, but a 10:30 start time is also pushing it way past … 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 11, 2017 – Readings and Recommendations
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
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 – May 28, 2017 – Readings and Recommendations
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
Sunday Morning Coffee: Menu Planning and Readings for April 30, 2017
It’s been a beautiful week, and we got a glimpse of close-to-summer weather yesterday. Charlotte’s been wild about the chance to get outside and is loving spending time on the swings and slides in the neighborhood parks. Here’s what I’ve been eating and reading this week:
Sunday Morning Coffee: April 9, 2017
It’s warming up a bit, and we spent the weekend trying to get out and enjoy the weather. The first of the flowers are starting to peak through the what has been a very wintry landscape for the past several months. A weekend that had such promising weather was overshadowed a bit by the fact … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: January 29, 2017
I snapped this photo waiting on the doorstep of Charlotte’s daycare. It’s a picture of the sun setting over Boston, and I realized we’re starting to get daylight for just a bit longer. We’re coming out of the dark days of winter, and I’m trying to be present in the moments with my work and family. … Read more
