blove: lovely things
May 13th, 2013
Whenever commenters on my blog list links to their blogs, I try – as often as I can – to take a look. While I respond to each and every comment I receive, I also want to give a fellow blogger the courtesy he or she has shown me by reading my blog and taking [...]
favor-”ette”: an empty mustard jar
May 8th, 2013
Well, almost empty. I actually thought I had shared this with you already – oops! This is a good one – and so easy. If you use jarred mustard, here’s a great tip for getting every last drop out of that little jar. When there’s about one to two teaspoons of mustard left in the jar (you’ll [...]
i can’t/she can: talking with children about cancer
May 6th, 2013
I know – heavy stuff for a Monday morning. When I decided to launch this new series last month, my goal was – and is – to not only introduce you to great bloggers, authors and “creatives”, but to impart some meaningful information that you would not otherwise find here at D D and D. [...]
let’s hang out!
May 2nd, 2013
I’ve got an invitation that you simply can’t refuse. The Brooklyn Flea. A fabulous cause. These cookies. And me! Yes, I will be “working” at the Flea this Saturday, doing a shift at the NYC Bake Sale, to benefit No Kid Hungry. This is a remarkable organization, which I wrote about last year when I [...]
couple of things
April 26th, 2013
Hi all! Before I share this month’s links I wanted to catch you up on what’s been happening around here lately! First – a short recap of my “wheat-free” month. If you recall, I decided to go wheat-free, not gluten-free (yes, there IS a difference). And I was not nearly as rigid as I was [...]
blove: brooklyn supper
April 15th, 2013
Gosh I love doing this series. photo courtesy of Elizabeth Stark Brooklyn Supper is a must-read blog, penned by the talented and lovely Elizabeth Stark, along with her equally talented and lovely (awkward?) husband Brian Campbell: “[By] highlighting seasonal ingredients, we hope to start a conversation and inspire readers to get to know local foods, [...]
favor-”ette”: fabric paper glue
April 3rd, 2013
I’m as much a fan of this week’s favor-“ette” as I am of its creator! The last card holder I bought was way back in 2003, when I had my landscape design business cards printed. I got it at J. Crew (of course), in green (of course), and it’s been with me ever since. Well [...]
i can’t/she can: “blog with purpose”
April 1st, 2013
I’m so excited to introduce this new series to you all! I really love collaborating with other bloggers – especially when they can share their expertise and offer something a little different from the “usual” topics you’ll find here. “I Can’t/She Can” (and maybe a “he” once in a while?) will do just that, and [...]
blove: living on love
March 11th, 2013
Today’s “blove” is yet another example of what a gift blogging has been to me – specifically when it comes to connecting with people whose paths I never would have crossed otherwise. This “community” of (mostly) women – who are (mostly) younger than me, from all walks of life, all parts of the country, and [...]
#2 (thoughts on two years)
February 20th, 2013
“Year two? Bring it”. image credit: Homemade Serenity That’s how I ended the post I wrote about my blog’s one year anniversary. And here we are, a whole year later. I tried to think of a clever title – something witty to say about the number “two”. This is what I found: Two’s company. It [...]
