    eyes + ears // 17

    (image via)

    i grew up in boston for 16 years, and every year, going to the marathon was a big exciting day. we never missed it. hopefully – this event in the future, that should be filled with so much joy and strength, won’t be tarnished by such a terrible act.

    also, patton oswalt had a really sweet statement about the tragedy. read it here.

    eating this : the best bruschetta ever

    i’m all for some bruschetta on baguette, but the jumbo version on a big thick piece of bread kills it.

    now that pretty heirlooms are showing up at the grocery store, it’s time to take advantage.

    on a warm afternoon, i love making this for us to sit outside and nosh on with drinks.

    get GOOD THICK BREAD. i got a thick rosemary garlic loaf that was baked that day.

    THE BEST BRUSCHETTA EVER
    makes four pieces

    3 heirloom tomatoes, thickly chopped
    one loaf fresh bread (sliced into 3/4″ thick)
    a bunch of fresh basil
    olive oil
    kosher salt
    3 cloves garlic
    herbs de provence
    red chili flakes
    cracked pepper

    chop the tomatoes and mix together in a large bowl with enough olive oil to thickly coat. add two minced cloves of garlic with all the spices to taste. let it marinate for about an hour, mixing occasionally.

    slice up your bread and heat a pan with oil. make sure each side of the bread is covered with oil and fry each side for about 2 minutes or until browned. cut the head off a clove of garlic. as soon as it’s removed from the heat, rub the garlic clove onto the top side of of each piece of bread.

    spoon the tomato mixture on top of each slice and add the chopped basil and season more.

    have the most delicious heart burn ever.

forever obsessed with this tradition (that we just forever obsessed with this tradition (that we just started years after my son was born, so don’t worry it’s not too late for you either!)

gift your kids an ornament every year that’s significant to them or represents that year of their life, and keep them all documented in a little notebook for them to look back on when they’re all grown up and don’t even remember the things they once loved 😭

(we decided to start when arlo was already 5, so we just cheated and backdated every year of his life with an ornament)

got this idea from @leahfayegaeddert 💛

#cozychristmas #christmastraditions #christmaswithkids
october, i loved you! beautiful and brisk and magi october, i loved you! beautiful and brisk and magical 🍂 

izzy turned 3, arlo hated nyc, and i stood in front of lots of red trees it was so awesome !!!!

ps so excited for my first christmas in a big house full of fireplaces and mantles!!!! 🥹
our first halloween in CT, a new garage door to st our first halloween in CT, a new garage door to stand in front of and basically the first time we didn’t do a group costume because the kids insisted on doing kpop and neither gid nor i wanted to be garth lollll 

plus a trip down halloween memory lane
our annual spooky dinner! we’ve been doing this our annual spooky dinner! we’ve been doing this every october since arlo first became completely obsessed with halloween and while the the table settings and the menu has changed, the concept has stayed the same — 

i go to town on the table with our halloween decoration box and we eat by candlelight, it’s a last big send off to halloween season before we trick or treat and i just hope someday when they’re parents they keep this tradition alive for their own kids 😭😭😭😭 or maybe i can just be the spooky grandma

happy halloween!!!!!
