Folks, it’s Friday. Thank goodness! Life has literally be all over the place lately- from Toronto last week, to Providence the week before that, and DC the week before that! And though I have o...
Almost two months ago I wrote a post about Facebook, and about the fact that I’m not on it. Truthfully, I mostly wrote the post for myself- I felt like I had a lot to get off my chest, and I kn...
Last weekend my younger brother graduated from college (congrats, Ted!), and my family had a great time ringing in all his accomplishments. On Saturday evening, following the graduation, we had an am...
Right after college I moved to DC. It wasn’t exactly part of the plan. The plan was to move to New York and get an apartment with two of my closest friends from college. But as often happens wh...
As you may or may not know, a few months back I partnered with Jess Constable of Make Under My Life to launch the Business with Intention workshop. We created a video for the first workshop in Chicag...
When I first viewed the apartment we’re currently living in, one of the biggest selling points (for me) was the open shelving in the kitchen. For years I had dreamed of big open shelves where I...
Hello friends! And happy Monday. I don’t know about you, but I woke up to dark skies and lots of rain, so it looks like a day tucked inside plugging away is what’s on tap for my Monday. B...
Wooooh sorry for the delay here friends on today’s post! When I started thinking earlier this week about what I wanted to write for this week’s Biz Notes addition I was a little stumped. ...
I have a thing for cream cheese. I never tire of it slathered all over a hot toasty bagel or used as the main ingredient in frosting, but what I really love is weaving cream cheese into recipes where...
I’m really craving time outside these days. I know it’s spring, and that’s what we’re supposed to feel, but I find if I spend a solid amount of time outside on the weekends it...
I made this smoothie (and took these pictures) last Sunday when we saw the first sunny skies after what felt like an eternity of grey ones. I decided to snap the photos on our patio since the outdoor...
Did you ever have to say no to something that you really didn’t want to? I did, just last week. And it was for a job. As a new business owner- one job, one client, one order, etc can really mak...
Have you guys heard of Sunday Suppers? They’re a cooking class/dining company that just opened a brand new (and gorgeous) studio in Williamsburg. They hold the most incredible events and classe...
On Friday afternoon I made a commitment to myself- I was not going to check email or Twitter for the entire weekend. I was feeling mentally drained from the week and knew a strict no online socializi...
You guys… I really love Mother’s Day. I swear, not a week goes by where I don’t think (at least once), “What would I do without my mom?” She truly is my rock, I depend o...
As I mentioned on Monday, I spent this past weekend in Chicago running an event. A few months back I partnered with Jess Constable of Make Under My Life to plan a series of workshops geared towards h...
Happy Monday, friends! My head is still spinning a bit from a whirlwind weekend in Chicago. Are any of you from there? I wish I could say I had more time to explore the city, but my time was pretty w...
Last week I started a new series which centers around my work life. Since I now work for myself and this whole business owner/entrepreneur thing pretty much occupies my mind all of the time, this ser...
Hello! I have to admit, I’m still brimming with excitement over the new design. It truly feels like such a fresh new start, pretty optimal timing for spring I suppose. I’ll stop talking a...

I could not be happier it’s Friday! This week started out on a sick note and then quickly transitioned to all my energy being focused on catching up on work. That combined with working most of ...
Hi all! I’ve got a new series to introduce today which I’m really excited about. Ever since mentioning I had officially made the transition to working for myself/starting my own business,...
Hello! And happy Monday! Apologies for the lateness of this post. I was having an all around great weekend and looking forward to a pretty routine week, but then yesterday afternoon I got hit with a ...
Earlier this week I caught an awesome Biz Ladies/ Design Sponge post on How to Escape the Comparison Trap. Are you prone to the comparison trap? I fall into it all the time. I’m really good at ...
So as I mentioned on Monday, I headed home this past weekend for the holiday. I always go home for Easter, and even though we don’t really celebrate the holiday in a traditional manner, we alwa...
Good morning! How have you been? Thank you all for being so patient during my stay-cation spring break. I actually did take a little trip home this weekend, and while it was nothing out of the ordina...
I wish the title of this post meant I was headed somewhere sunny. Sadly, that’s not the case! No no… actually, this here little blog is going on a small week long break. Friends- life is ...
Happy Saturday! A few weeks back I posted about a handful of happy purchases I just made, everything from cook books to an ice cream maker. But the item that got the most attention was the Clarisonic...
Hello! A few crickets this week, huh? Sorry guys, it’s been a busy past few days. Most weeks I reach Thursday and I don’t know where the week has gone. This week though, not so much. So m...
