From Connecticut to Houston to Buffalo, quality time with my family
Watching the peanut blossom into a thoughtful, smart, creative and caring little thing
Finishing my manuscript
Going to Duran Duran with my BFF
Plowing through a bit of writer’s block to finish my piece on the Hudson
A visit to Paris!
Shopping less
Reunions! With my mom and brother for a very rare weekend together, with my Babson girls, with my SF crew – so much fun all around
Lots of local travel
That my husband makes me feel warm and fuzzy and crazy lucky
Saving for the peanut’s college education
Having a supportive community surrounding me
That my body has been good to me all these years
Talking to culinary heroes like Will Guidera and Jonathan Waxman for my new book
Getting away solo with my husband for the first time in over two years
That I’ve gotten back to reading and finished the year with some great books (The Interestings, A Free Life and The Nest among them)
