nyc food blogger bake sale
April 30th, 2012
My friend Elizabeth (of the delicious hand pies from a few weeks ago) recently posted about her participation in an upcoming bake sale, to benefit two very worthy causes. Share Our Strength is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to end childhood hunger by 2015. They encourage Americans to host bake sales within their communities to [...]
blove: inward facing girl
April 27th, 2012
Of all the careers I’ve had in my life (and there have been MANY), I wish more than anything that I could have been a graphic designer. I’m completely passionate about the appearance, design and packaging of – well, everything - and admire those who do it well. Seriously, I watch documentaries about fonts, people. Alas, [...]
about face, part two: foundation
April 25th, 2012
Foundation seems to be one of the biggest make-up challenges for women – so I’m devoting an entire post to the stuff. First things first: You need foundation. Yes, I’m talking to you. Foundation evens out your skin tone, provides a base for the rest of your make-up and offers protection from the elements (sun, pollutants, etc.). Today’s foundations [...]

My weekly outing with Noah was less “let’s do something fun that Noah will love”, and more “Chelsea’s home for spring break and I really want to go here. And Noah will get a cookie out of the deal”.

April 20th, 2012
Last month I received an e-mail from the wonderful Sarah Bryden Brown, inviting me to the very first ”Blogstar Sunday Supper”. I looked at the guest list and immediately had this thought: Was this a mistake? Followed by this: What could I possibly have to say to all of these way more experienced and successful bloggers? And [...]

I have never put much stock in psychics or fortune tellers. Till now. I had the absolute pleasure of attending Blogstar’s Sunday Supper this past weekend, hosted by the lovely, engaging and uber-supportive Sarah Bryden Brown. I can’t wait to share my experience with you but I HAD to tell you right away about the amazing gift bag I [...]

April 14th, 2012
Help me, people. I had so many plans for the blog this year – new features, recipes, tutorials. But ever since I opened this book, all I want to do is bake recipe after recipe. I dream about Ritz crackers, covered in melted butter, sugar and salt. I stare longingly at pictures of Pretzel Ice [...]
valkommen!
April 12th, 2012
One of the nicest surprises about raising Noah now (versus when Chelsea and Conor were little), is the vastly improved design of most things baby-related. There are so many more options for beautifully designed, well-made furnishings, toys, books and equipment to choose from – especially in the area of contemporary design. So imagine my delight in discovering the [...]

April 10th, 2012
After almost 20 years as a make-up artist (13 with a major cosmetic line, the last 5 with the American Cancer Society’s “Look Good Feel Better” program), I’ve learned a thing or two. So I’m really excited to share with you some of my favorite tips – tips that you can easily fold into your busy day, to [...]

April 7th, 2012
Wow, people – busy, busy weekend! Passover started last night (for desserts read here, here and here). Easter is tomorrow. Aaaand, did you know that today is National Coffee Cake Day? I really should have known this, having just barely missed National Blueberry Popover Day last month. I even shared with you the link that [...]
