get your veggies

We are about to pick up our very first CSA (community supported agriculture) delivery of the season. I am thrilled to be able to get 10 to 20 pounds of organic produce a week for just $25 and to support a local farm in the process! If you are looking for farm fresh products in New York City check out Just Food. Nationally, Local Harvest has a superb database of CSAs, farmers' markets, co-ops and more. Get out there and eat your kale!

best tank ever

Straps wide enough to hide the now-required bra? Check

Long enough to avoid looking like a plumber when bending over? Check

Tight enough to keep playgroup from turning into a peepshow? Check

Inexpensive, available in many colors and machine washable? Check, check and check!

Drumroll please...

I present you the Women's Stretch Tank from Old Navy. Brilliant in all twelve colors, alone or under spring's crisp white jacket.

the pitter patter of tiny feet

has been replaced by the clomping of little shoes. This weekend we got Little Man outfitted in these adorable sandals.

They have easy off Velcro straps, great ankle support and are waterproof! No worries here about dashing through the fountains in the park or jumping in the puddles left by all of our summer rain.

What better way to kick off a new blog than with a popsicle party? It's hot hot hot here and the official start of summer is just two days away. I love these Tovolo molds--chic enough for the adults but with a base to catch the kids' spills. Since they are available at Bed Bath & Beyond you can have instant frozen treat gratification.

Add some pureed watermelon, a splash of milk, a dash of sugar and you have the makings of a perfect summer day.
