ridiculous deliciousness from krause'sNearly six months after purchasing our tickets, (good thing I bought them way back when - they would cost much more than $425 each right now), Griffin and I are heading to Cali this afternoon.

Go(ing) West, (with a) young man
In just about a month Griffin and I jet to California for our special Mommy and Son trip.

Ladies’ Weekend
Okay, so maybe it wasn't really a "weekend," merely a Wednesday afternoon until Thursday evening, but nonetheless we crammed enough fun stuff and food into that window of time that it felt like a weekend. If there was a theme to our brief jaunt to Manhattan it would be something which involved estrogen, wine, shopping, Mario Batali … Continue reading Ladies’ Weekend
NYC – Just like I pictured it.
Henry Street Settlement HouseYesterday I chaperoned a student field trip to NYC. I've been on this trip a few times and always enjoy spending the day walking around the Lower East Side with 30 teenagers - no, really, I mean it. Most of the kids have never been in this part of the city before … Continue reading NYC – Just like I pictured it.
