One of my best gals was in town this weekend from Baltimore, so she and Diana and I did it up. Ate too much (there’s no way to justify following a giant skillet cookie with a scone), drank just enough, and soaked up the incredible weather. It was a perfect and much needed reunion. I [...]

I took my real camera with good intentions. But I only ended up taking a few photos for a project that’s brewing in my head. These are courtesy iPhone. A baker’s dozen from Two Tarts.

When I’m cooking for more than one (which, let’s be honest, isn’t going to happen because Elliott’s going to cook for [...]

I happened upon Myrtle while walking with my mom to a dinner reservation several weeks ago. Luckily, we were early and had time to peruse the shop – which is chock full of amazing clothing, jewelry, bags, etc. all made by independent, female designers. I stopped in for the second time tonight and left with [...]
