I’ve been luxuriating in the company of my parents this week. We played trivia on Monday night as a family (and won first place!), I spent a spontaneous evening relaxing at their place on Tuesday night when I felt like I just needed a break, and we celebrated the fourth of July with grilling and … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: May 27, 2018
It’s so nice to be in the middle of a long weekend. I’m loving this unstructured time with my family. Daycare was closed Friday, too, so it’s been a four-day weekend for us. We’d originally planned to visit my family in the midwest, but that felt like just too much to wrap my head around … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: May 20, 2018
The week felt like summer should be peaking through, but it mostly has been chilly and rainy. The colleges throughout the city are all holding graduations, and the streets and sidewalks are correspondingly packed with confused and frustrated parents trying to figure out Boston traffic. It’s been a fairly low-energy week for me. Will’s been … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 18, 2018
This is a shelfie from my office, reflecting a range of reference texts and non-diet memoirs I pull into my work with eating disorder clients, intuitive eating, and helping others heal their relationships with their bodies and with food. I still feel like I’m in transition mode with getting back into the swing of things … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 11, 2018
It’s the second week fully back and work, and I’m feeling like I’m getting in to the swing of things. I’m loving the opportunity to reconnect with my clients, and I feel like I’ve been able to bring some new ideas to my daily flow after having a bit of time away. It felt like … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: December 24, 2017
This is our first year really playing Santa, and the first year Charlotte kind of understands what is going on. She’s got a sense that there’s a holiday coming up, but she’s still asking about trick-or-treating and has spent the weekend in her Halloween pajamas and carrying her jack-o-lantern bucket around. Family has also started … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: December 17, 2017
It’s still snowy and cold here, and I’m still hunkered down with my new son. It’s a weird mix of planning and looking forward to the holidays, and being so in to the ebbs and flows of the daily routine (or at least trying to establish what looks like a routine). Having a newborn is … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee — November 19, 2017 — Readings and Recommendations
The little one is now a few weeks old. Hopefully the worst of the sleepless nights are behind us. He’s so tiny but is growing out of looking like a wrinkly red newborn and is looking more and more like a baby. There hasn’t been a lot to our days except for getting to know … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee — October 15, 2017 — Readings, Recommendations, and Menu Plan
This weekend is a welcome one full of rest, downtime, and friends. The weeks are getting busier and busier as I try to get everything ready before stepping away from work for maternity leave (and I’ll be another kind of very busy and exhausted), and I’m finding my body is asking for a bit of … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee — October 1, 2017 — Reading, Recommendations, and Menu Plan
Welcome to October. While we’ve still had warm days this week, it’s starting to feel more and more like fall around here. I think we’ve been to the splash park for the last time of this year’s summer season. I’m beginning to plan Charlotte’s Halloween costume and trying to help her remember what trick-or-treating is … Read more
