(Note: I am currently traveling for a month in South America, and am on a short blog hiatus while I’m away. I wrote this post before I left and scheduled it to post. While I’m off on a quest to see the amazing animals of the Galapagos and the Amazon, I thought it would be… Continue reading Backyard Birds of Brooklyn

Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.8.15)
This morning I’m spinning with my team at Cycle for Survival in Bryant Park to fight rare cancers. This is my fifth year participating, and it’s a charity that means a great deal to me. Rare cancers are underfunded by major drug companies, even though cancers classified as “rare” make up about 50% of all… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.8.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.1.15)
There is icy sludge surrounding my city, but let’s not let that stop us from getting all cozy and talking about books and other great stuff this week, sound good? Good! First of all – it was a delightful week in blog-land and Twitter-world meeting a lot of new-to-me Book Bloggers thanks to this lovely… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 3.1.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.22.15)
This week was packed full of social events and very little reading or blogging. I spent a lovely afternoon with my friend Kristen who was in town from San Francisco. I hosted a happy hour fundraiser for my Cycle for Survival team, and co-hosted a baby shower for a dear friend. For the shower, I baked Devil’s Food… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.22.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.15.15)
It has been a cold, gray week in NYC. The sun came out for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon, and we took advantage of the slightly warmer temperature by going on a long walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Staten Island Ferry, riding the ferry there and back, and then walking back home. The… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.15.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.8.15)
This week was extra good due to Graham’s return. He was back in England for a few weeks but arrived in Brooklyn on Tuesday. :) He caught a little bug on the flight here, so we’ve had a low key week. Tonight we’re venturing out for burgers and then heading to BAM to see Hannibal Buress. He’s… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.8.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.1.15)
I made it back to New York on Wednesday, after the airlines decided that the world was not ending due to snow. I celebrated my return on Friday with a visit to Strand and a lovely 4 mile walk home across the Brooklyn Bridge. Without planning to, I somehow timed it perfectly so that I was… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 2.1.15)
Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 1.25.15)
It’s another cold, snowy Sunday in Michigan. It’s snowing big fluffy flakes that slowly spin as they gently make their way to the ground – the kind of snow that looks so perfect it almost seems fake. I’m supposed to fly back to NYC tomorrow, and am watching the approaching East Coast winter storm with… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch (Weekly Recap 1.25.15)
Sunday Night Lunch
One of my goals for 2015 is to blog more often, and so I’ve decided to jump on board the Sunday Weekly Recap train. I’ll post (most) every week with updates on life, books, travel dreams, links to stuff I enjoyed this week, etc. I’ve decided to name this weekly post “Sunday Night Lunch” in… Continue reading Sunday Night Lunch
2014 In Review & Photos
2014 has been pretty wonderful to me. At the beginning of the year, I shared the news that I was quitting my job and traveling around the world. I planned to travel for 4 months and then settle back down. I ended up meeting an incredible English guy in Australia and extending my travel the… Continue reading 2014 In Review & Photos
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas, friends! I hope your holiday is filled with love and happy moments. And books. G and I are having a cozy little Christmas in Brooklyn. We got each other a few small things to unwrap, and filled our stockings with a few treats, but it’s been a very non-commerical Christmas. It’s been so… Continue reading Happy Christmas!
Teux Deux
Forgive me, but I need to majorly nerd out about organizational tools for a post. I’ve tried a lot of different methods and applications for organizing to do lists and life in general over the past few years. Wunderlist. ToDoIst. Apple Reminders. Checklists in Evernote. Pen and paper lists (which I still use frequently for short term… Continue reading Teux Deux
