As of last weekend, we are done with weddings in 2014. I have loved each and every one, but I’m kind of excited to have some more low key weekends on the horizon. That said, my weekends seem to be filling up pretty fast… In celebration of the brand new Lego store in Flatiron, Madison…

I’m off tomorrow to wedding number nine – the last one of the year. The rest of the weekend is wide open and I’m looking forward to doing some sort of activity that feels particularly “fall” to take advantage of the season. On my way to meet friends for dinner in the UWS last week,…

Despite a beautiful Indian Summer weekend of temperatures in the low 80s, we’re really beginning to see a shift in the weather. I don’t mind the occasion to pull the cardis out of my closet, but my body is not reacting so well to the change. I’m in the process of staving of a cold…

I’ve been taking it very very easy this week in preparation for my big 10K this weekend. I’m not nervous yet, but I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune once it’s actually race time. Have you ever seen a green plum? Me neither. But they exist, and I found them at Trader Joe’s. And…

After yet another wedding this past weekend I’m looking forward to having the time free to relax. Because I’ve been traveling a lot recently, I’m hoping this weekend affords me the opportunity to catch up with friends around here. The door to the kitchen at Cohen’s Retreat is pretty much better than any restaurant swinging kitchen…

Everytime I come back to NYC after being home I have the desire to go back. This is nothing new. But now I really reeeeally want to go back because I’ve gotten a taste of my Brooks. He’s a newborn so he’s not doing much, but even in the week that I was there I…

The Konters are on cloud 9 right now because last week on July 22nd my nephew, Brooks Lawrence Konter, made his grand entrance into this world. I am home right now enjoying every moment with him and already beginning the process of spoiling him rotten. That’s why Godmothers exist. My precious little Brooksy, only a…
