I love podcasts, we all do. We’ve all got a queue of who-knows-how-many to listen to while we make dinner, if only we could remember to press play while we make dinner.

Fall Decor Ideas

Hello, my name is Mary and I have a home in the suburbs now and the suburbs DON’T SKIP OPPORTUNITIES TO EMBRACE A THEME. That’s right. I have to decorate for fall and stuff now. It’s in the contract. I’m guessing it has to do with actually having storage space for all that off-season stuff. We’re less than 12 months from me dedicating an entire closet to carefully marked rubbermaid containers organized by season and festivity and you know what, I’m not mad about it. (Colette just whispered, “My birthday should get its own wing of the house.”) If, like…

A Guide To Fall Apples

I love this guide to fall apples from Goop. It gets right to the point and isn’t an overwhelming assessment of every varietal on the planet, just the ones that will really impact your baking, cooking, and indeed snacking on a daily basis this fall.
