Becca + Nathaniel: Married at the Inn at Mystic
These two NYC-dwellers clicked over a mutual appreciation for Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) and decided to meet up for drinks in December 2013. Nathaniel got sick so that turned into hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows at City Bakery in NYC…but lo and behold there were no marshmallows that day. Not to worry–they’ve returned many…

I can now check off “beautifully-executed-woodland-nature-filled-movie-premier-themed-wedding” off my life list, thanks to you, Matt and Bridget!

The sun here on the coast of CT set at 4:24 p.m. today. But yesterday it set at 4:23 p.m. Things are looking up, folks. I loved this poem last year, and I’ll post it here again this year, because there is nothing as joyful as knowing we have already passed the darkest day of…
Read MoreHow to charm me
Henry, the King of Non-sequitors, just came downstairs, twenty minutes past bedtime, to ask the following: “Dad, what is it like when you are dead?” “Do you come back from being dead?” I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I will put my kid up against ANYONE else’s kid for the world title…
