While NYC is still in summer mode, all my family and friends back home are back to school – it’s making me so anxious that my favorite season is plummeting to an end. Now that our crazy heat wave is over we’re in a summer sweet spot over here and I want to enjoy every second.

My beau ran another 10K on Governor’s Island on Saturday. V and I went to cheer him on and happened to walk up just as he was rounding the final bend. Between the hour and a half of travel each way, running around on the island, and lunch, it was a great way to fill up the entire first half of the day, which is always the goal as a parent.

I got to hit up one of my absolute favorite omakase spots, Sushi W, over the weekend. Already plotting my next visit.

Lindsay texted me months ago that she bought two tix for Taylor Tomlimson’s show and did I want to go. YES. I can’t tell you how amazing it is when one of your best friends comes for a visit and you just get to go out and live life. We laughed, we cocktailed, and we caught up. It was everything I needed.
