Eat. Drink. Live.
The weeklong birthday celebration for Sam kicks off with dinner with Grammy and Leighlo. Cheers! Leigh with a drink. Cocktails! Presents! Books from Grammy and LeighLo: Chicken supper. The Brussels sprouts got a little crispy. Yum! Love this photo of […]
It’s started, guys. She’s performing for us. As we sip our Bronx Cocktails (thanks Cherril!), she’s not throwing away her shot! Them’s some moves!
Just around the corner from Rockefeller Center is a pretty decent burger place: Bill’s. I remember when it first opened the blogs were all a’Twitter about it, but the cool factor seems to have, well, chilled out, and now it’s […]
Wow! You’re three! We invited the neighborhood kids and a few friends from day care to celebrate. It was a mess. It was loud. It was lots of fun. Painting! Ashley helps Maloaa. Isa, Ella, Julia, Claire and James: Amol, […]
A little morning birthday party at Susan’s to celebrate our little girl’s third (can you believe third?!) birthday. Hats for everyone!
Sam’s first time with sushi! We tried a Bento box with dumplings and a California roll. And a pork ramen for me:
On Christmas morning, I didn’t take many photos. Too sick! Sondra and Leigh came over, and Sam opened a few presents. This year, she received: a singing microphone from the O’Donnells; some card sets from us, including “crazy faces” and […]
Little Sam, helping out on Thanskgiving morning. Recipe for Parker House Rolls coming!
For Sam’s second birthday, I took carrot cupcakes with maple-cream cheese frosting over to Susan’s and had a little party with her day care friends. Rachel helped them with Pin the Tail on the Donkey and afterwards, we all headed […]
Samantha was so taken with the cherry tomatoes at one stand at the Pleasantville Farmers Market that she, well, took them. So we bought them, natch, and let her snack on them. Cutie.
Having fun with strollers, backpacks, baby and bags. Some SCF fans may remember this photo from Facebook last week. “Samantha is heading off to Port Authority. No, she’s not a bag lady.”
Susan, Samantha’s wonderful caregiver at White House Day Care, arranged for a petting zoo to come to the house for an afternoon. The kids went nuts! We had a good time, too, watching them! A few pics:
An early supper at the ranch: takeout from Cassie’s and the last of this lettuce crop from Sour Cherry Farm. (More is on the way!) The cousins all sat together. Cuties. Laurie! No photos of Sondra, Leigh or Greg […]
On the hunt for Kewpie Mayonnaise and a few other Asian sundries, we headed to Hmart in White Plains for this week’s groceries. Afterwards, we had to have lunch, of course! Sam had dumplings. But she sure enjoyed my Singapore […]
A sweet little video where Sam and Hunna pick blueberries. Listen closely and you can hear what we’re joking is her British accent on the word “blueberries.”
Images of summer! Shivering shoulders, chattering teeth and blue lips. Check!
Bebe? Bebe? Bebe? Her newest and most used word these days. She also loves playing with bebe and her “hah” (hat). As she turns 18 months — a year and a half? Really? — here are a few other things […]
Just hanging on the porch, pal-ing around.
Samantha “helps” Daddy water the garden, and mom takes in a Broadway show, Orphans, with her Godfather David Rubin, visiting from Virginia. Our life, in pictures.
Four families gathered at Kelli and Patrick’s for a fun-filled Easter egg hunt, kids dinner and a big ol’ plate of ham. We started with bloody marys and smoked salmon pizza and ended with lemon-chocolate tart. All was delicious!
All dressed up for church. Adorable!
Just a few sweet ones of the sweet one.
Mommy heads to work and has an especially hard time saying goodbye. Oh, the heartbreak. The pangs kill sometimes, don’t they?
I know what you’re thining. What? Sam hasn’t been to the library yet? I know! Crazy! She loves books! The children’s room at the Nyack Library has low shelves with lots of colorful books and puzzles and a few toys. […]
When some tickets for the circus became available at work, I thought to myself, nah. She won’t get it. She’s too young. But Greg said, No! She’ll love it! Maybe she won’t get it as a “cirucs,” but she’ll love […]
What a blessing to have two sweethearts on Valentine’s Day! Miss Susan helped Samantha make us a Valentine, and Greg brought home two single roses, one for each of his sweeties and a nod to our first Valentine’s Day, when […]
We got nearly a foot this time, and Sam really got out to explore this time, touching, tasting and playing. A joy!
Boo, Kelli and I took the kids for pancakes. And cappuccinos. For us, that is. Delishy, all.
In the second snowstorm of the year, Samantha got out and walked around while Daddy shoveled. Such a toddler! She did great! Until this happened. Poor baby!
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
