Every weekend at the farmer’s market, I can’t resist buying a pound or two of peaches. Especially from the farm that sells peaches from Georgia – they are the juiciest and sweetest! I’m always looking for recipes and ways to use my peaches because I seem to hoard them and end up with so many […]

Peyton has been into fairies ever since we bought A Fairy Friend by Sue Fliess a couple of years ago. It is the sweetest book. The illustrations and poetic phrases about how to build a fairy garden and make fairy friends is a dream. We made our first fairy garden after reading it and I wrote a […]

My Papou came over last week for lunch and while we ate our way through french toast and bacon, we talked and laughed with the kids and my mom. At one point, my papou turned to me and asked, do you think motherhood is more difficult now than it was back then? It’s funny because […]

Okay, so growing up I wasn’t much of a fish person, but over the years and after trying different types, it’s now one of my go-to weeknight meals. It’s funny because the fish I despised the most was probably tilapia and now, ten years later, I’m developing recipes for it – ha! I don’t know […]

As I mentioned in my Barcelona Travel Guide, we booked a private tour to the town of Alella with Adler & Marlow.
