My friend Odette Williams, Australian-born, Brooklyn-based author of “Simple Cakes” and “Simple Pasta,” has made a name for herself at drink parties. She always smiles when she talks, which is the most endearing quality. She brings that same laid-back style to her cooking, entertaining and dressing. When I asked if we could take her photo, she joked, “Thanks for thinking of the shabby Aussie.” Here are five looks Odette has worn on repeat… Black coat: vintage, similar. Camisole: Sézane. “I got this vintage jacket during college and it’s still going on! The jacket reminds me of my grandma who loved…
This Saturday, we visited some friends in Fire Island… How pretty is their garden? Lovely rooms. Who wants to jump in? The boys tossed tennis balls and were completely uninterested in the sunset. Never fail to watch Dirty Dancing at this point lol. When we got home on Sunday, I had the kids write thank you notes to the friends who hosted us. It used to be a lot of pushing and pulling to write notes, but now the boys have gotten into the habit and need… slightly less pushing and pulling? The formula we developed is: Honey [friends’ names],Thank…
While I was pregnant with my son, reading a ton of articles and podcasts about new parenthood and mental health, I only came across something about mental illness by accident. Postpartum psychosis, which affects one or two in every 1,000 newborns, includes delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, restlessness, severe insomnia and extreme mood changes. The gist is “it’s very rare, so don’t worry about it” – advice that doesn’t help when you end up being one in a thousand. Especially when you’re like me and have no personal or family history of serious mental health issues and no reason to believe you’d…
What are your plans for this weekend? Tonight I met my long lost love Gemma! She has worked in the UK for many years so I am delighted to have her back in my hands. Hope you had a great time – did anyone get a ticket for Barbie? – Here are some links from around the web… established! Best t-shirt ever. I had this salad at a restaurant last night and it was delicious. 488 Scottish Golden Retriever, Shaved. (New York Times gift link) What a cool red bookshelf in London. Love these beautiful sandals for dinner dates, weddings,…

You guys, what a week. I realize I’ve been trying to keep quiet throughout our divorce process, but that’s not the case. My beloved old therapist described this chaotic period as the video game Donkey Kong, in which you have to try to dodge all the barrels that come at you. Hope your barrel steering goes well too! A few things make me smile… Our lovely nanny brought me this snack plate when I went to work. Brooklyn is full of guys with mustaches (swoon), which gave me an excuse to post pictures of Andy Samberg. Which in turn reminds…
When Zibi Owens suggested that she turn some of the articles into a book, Zibi Owens jokingly told her partner, “Moms don’t have time for books.” But that phrase quickly became the title of her hit podcast and later a publishing empire. The mother of four — dubbed “the Oprah of books” by New York Magazine — also recently opened a bookstore in Los Angeles. “The night before we visited the empty storefront, two team members and I were drinking and discussing what books we were going to bring,” Zippy told us. “We had a big sheet of paper to…
I learned to swim for the first time at the age of 37. I didn’t learn it when I was a kid. Swimming is a compulsory subject in my high school physical education class. Because my public high school is so famous, many freshmen come to the area to attend, even if they didn’t grow up in the upper-middle-class Chicago suburbs. The camera cuts to a group of black kids shivering in shallow water, a 16-year-old lifeguard trying to explain how to tread water, while a gym teacher instructs more experienced swimmers. Needless to say, treading water is not sticky.…
In my career as a food writer, I’ve probably written more stories about how to get kids to eat vegetables than any other. BTW, I have two grown daughters and one of them, as a toddler, only ate one vegetable for months, and it was almost always in the form of french fries. You know how the story ends, right? all the best. But for summer, here’s an idea, because meals are often less structured at this time: Instead of spending lunch and dinner as produce time, try to focus on snacks instead. Here are three proven strategies: Make vegetable…
