Currently Loving May 2026 Part 1

It has been up and down weather in NYC this month, but so much to love and (also look forward to). Here is what I am currently loving:

 

1. Noah Kahan “All Them Horses”

 

I love Noah Kahan. Deep love. And I love his new album — especially this song. I have listened to it over and over again recently and every time, I love it more. Highly recommend.

 

2. Lilacs

 

Is there anything more nostalgic than smelling lilacs? My mom is highly allergic to lilacs, and yet growing up, we had a lilac tree upfront, and it was her favorite flower. So every time I see lilacs, I smell them, and remember how much I love my mama. I love you, Mama!

 

3. Mother’s Day Card

 

Mother’s Day is this weekend and I am fortunate to have the best mama in the world. And I loved this card so much.

 

4. Being a Mother

 

Of course, being a mother is the best gift I have ever been given. And my kids are everything. Nothing brings me more happiness than being with my kids — and so FaceTime with them is a second close.

 

5. Frida Kahlo at the MoMA

 

Frida Kahlo at MoMA. Go see it! I loved it. Such vibrant colors and images.

 

6. Simple Flower Arragenements

 

This simple arrangement at Fleming brings such joy. It is jus two flowers — and it looks so perfect.

 

7. Tulips 

 

I know — so much flower talk — but aren’t we so lucky with all the flowers this month. This flower garden in Central Park is a hidden gem and I love it.

 

8. Caffe Panna

 

Best ice cream in NYC. Hands down.

 

9. In Love by Amy Bloom

 

More flowers — but this time a book with the author about a flower 😉 I LOVED this book. So sad, so depressing, but so beautifully written. A must read — it will fly by.

What are you loving this month? I love how it is almost Spring, the sunshine, the later nights, the big moon, fresh air.
