Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie

Today was the first full day Chris had off in months.  We slept in, ate pancakes at 10:30, then met the inspector at our almost new house (all's well on that front), and spent a bunch of time together as a family.  Chris got l[...]

Chocolate Velvet 3.14 (Pie)

If you're nerdy like me, there is only one way to celebrate March 14th, a.k.a. ∏ day. And that's with a delicious homemade pie, of course.  I almost baked a "healthier" fruit pie (the kind that I have been known to also le[...]

Strawberry Syrup

One of my favorite things about summer's abundance is making up for our fruit-starved winters with fruit overload.  Though Nantucket doesn't have the same local variety that comes with pick-your-own orchards over every hill as in the H[...]

Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter and Walnuts

Barely Changed from Bon Appétit, February 2011 See more recipes here. I have to apologize now for this recipe.  It's chocolately.  It's gooey.  It has a shiny, crackly crust.  It has browned butter.  Basically, it is the most delicio[...]

Risotto Rice Pudding with Brown Sugar and Vanilla

Adapted from Joy the Baker See more recipes here Rice pudding is one of my favorite quick late-night desserts (as you can see by the yellowish lighting in all the pictures!).  It's sweet, but not too much, and the milk provides the he[...]

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
