Lately

Lately…

I am absolutely loving everything about Everlane, an online shop carrying beautiful basic wardrobe staples at fair prices ($15 for super soft and comfy basic t-shirts that you’ll live in!). The BEST part though is that for each piece, they give you information on the factory it was produced in and guarantee fair labor. I just love that. And those new loafers? Swoon.

I am cooking exclusively this week out of David Lebowitz’s new book, My Paris Kitchen. So far, I’ve made the French-style pot pie (topped with mashed potatoes!), the caramel pork ribs, the celery root puree and the raw vegetable slaw, which I am currently noshing on right now as I type. Tonight I’m making his stuffed vegetable recipe and tomorrow I’m doing his version of chicken under a brick. It’s the best cookbook I’ve cooked out of in awhile and is just so gorgeous. Highly recommend!

I’m trying to commit to doing two yoga classes (podcasts or power classes on the weekends) a week and some short barre3 videos during naptime. It really improves my whole day when I can squeeze in a short workout…even just 20 minutes is a game changer!

I’m mourning my grandpa, who passed away a few days ago. Thank you all for your sweet comments regarding that! I am thankful that his passing was peaceful and he was surrounded by his wife and daughters. I’m happy my brother will have a friend up in heaven now!

I am so excited our fall tv shows are back on! We are super addicted to Parenthood, Homeland, Modern Family and New Girl. What about you?

I am loving weekly farmer’s market trips, MOPS meetings every other Tuesday, Waldorf baby class every Monday and early evening stroller walks with Grayson. I truly can’t believe he will be five months old next week!

I am looking forward to a family trip to Yosemite at the end of the month! We’ve rented a little cabin for the weekend and can’t wait to get away and disconnect.

I am canning hot pepper jelly (above photo!), apple butter and applesauce. Loving fall produce!
