A dear friend, and former colleague from our Martha Stewart days (where she was the food director for years), Lucinda is one of our most favorite

One of his songs,  The Partisan, got me thinking …the […]

These days, every time I sit down in our upstairs hallway after dinner I have the same thought. Is this the last time I’m going to watch A Show? “A Show:” This is what Esme, 9, and Eliza, 7,  call what they’ve been periodically performing for us during the small window of time between dinner clean-up and […]

From the Momfilter archives  I first discovered Lena Corwin when her unconventional wedding was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings in 2006

A few months ago, nearing the summit of 45 years old, my ovaries were removed to a soundtrack of “Night Fever” and “Beast of Burden.” I had actually said goodbye to them four and a half years earlier, waiting for the ice pack to numb the spot where I’d get a shot that I affectionately […]

We’ve waxed on before about our love for the English grocery chain Waitrose…but on a recent trip, I noticed their priority parking for parents with kids, and fell even more in love with them.
