Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving? Well, here we are. A rush to the end! Here is what I am loving this month.
Great, fun, light show. Highlight was James Corden — he was amaaaaaazing.

Currently Loving October 2025 Part 2
Here we are, the second half of October, and here is what I am currently loving.
1. Fall Colors
The park is turning red, orange, yellow, and green. I especially liked it this past week with some drama in the skies.
Currently Loving October 2025
There is so much to love right now — and this is what I am loving!
1. Picnics in October
This past weekend felt like summer in the city. 80 degrees in October! I absolutely loved every minute. Toosh and I had a picnic and she did homework and I needlepointed. Loved it.
Currently Loving September 2025
Sorry for my absence last week — back in New York, back to school (for both me and the kids!), back to figuring out the schedule and the flow. And hardest part — back to waking up so early! but now, I AM BAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKK. Here is what I am currently loving this month.
1. US Open
Yes, the US Open just ended yesterday, but it is my favorite two weeks in the city. And my favorite night is always with my favorite lady, Mrs. Mason. This night is hands down, so fun, and now I get to enjoy it with Tusia who LOVES Mrs. Mason, and LOVES tennis.
Currently Loving July 2025
Halfway through summer denial, but here we are. Mid July. And here is what I am loving right now!
1. Breaking 4
Everywhere you go in Eugene, there is some type of homage / support for runners. This is for Faith Kipyogen who is trying to break a 4 minute mile….
Currently Loving June 2025
BLINK and here we are in June. In disbelief at how time flies, floats, and passes. So here is what I am loving right now.
1. My Boy Home
My boy is back from boarding school and I couldn’t be happier to have him home. And with me. And in my arms. He had the best year and I am forever grateful for this experience at his new school, but man, I have missed him. And so happy to be reunited.
Currently Loving May 2025
May here we are! (or Mid-May, here we are!) This is what I am loving right now.
1. Murals in the city
Murals. Love Biggie.
Currently Loving April 2025
April has been cold, rainy, and dreary. But there is still so much that I am loving. Here it is:
1. Othello
Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington both were incredible. The whole thing was incredible — especially the second half. Loved it, and highly recommend.
Currently Loving March 2025
Week n umber 5 million of Spring Break….and here is what I am loving.
Granted, I am a huge Survivor fan, but there is something about this season (season 48) that is so good. I love it so much and HIGHLY recommend it — great for families or solo, but it never disappoints. And Jeff Probst — you are the best host ever.
Currently Loving February 2025
February has been an insanely busy month. On top of the normal parts of life, I have also traveled to California, Montana, and Florida. Yes, lots of times on planes, but of course, all worth it. Here is what I have loved this month.
1. Family Time
We went to California to present with my uncle his story on the Holocaust to the Thacher School. It was an incredible assembly and experience, and I was so happy to have been a part of this special event. And yes, Cruzzie’s jeans are gigantic.
2. Erewhon Hailey Bieber Shake
While we were in CA, we stopped in at Erewhon, which is the most incredible health food store I have ever been to. Had I not had a carry on, I would have bought everything to bring back to NYC. In particular, this smoothie was delicious. Worth the hype.
3. The Getty
Despite rainy and cold weather, we went to The Getty to kill time before our red eye that night. We loved looking at the views, the art collection, and just being there. Highly recommend. And did you know it was free?
In between all the travel, the family went to Governor’s Island to see the Ice Sculpture competition. Although it was fun to see the ice sculpture, it was even more fun just to walk around the island, even in the cold weather.
5. Bedazzling
Bedazzling!!! The new fun hobby! It takes a lot of patience and time — you have to glue every single one of the pieces of glitter (!), but look how fun and cool my AirPods look. Thank you, Tusia!
6. Blockus
This has always been one of my favorite board games — but I always seem to lose the pieces (not good!). We just bought a new set, so here we are playing it. Love this game!
I devoured this book in two days (which says a lot because these days I am a very bad reader). Dark, raw, vulnerable — loved this book.
___
What are you loving this month? Do share! I hope you have a great week.
Currently Loving January 2025
Last week of January — longest month EVER!!!! — it (always) feels like it lasts a full year instead of just a month. Especially this year. Here is what I am loving this month!
I am currently listening to this as an audio book — and I love it so much. Every part of it — and it feels like Mel Robbins is speaking to you as a friend. HIGHLY highly recommend reading it — but even more, listening to it.
Currently Loving Winter Break Edition
Winter Break is officially over, but to summarize, here are my favorite things that I loved from Winter Break (and I hope you all had a great break! Can’t believe it is 2025!)
1. Sunsets
Taken in Mexico — there is nothing like seeing the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
Currently Loving December 2024 – Part 1
Mid way through December, say what??? Here is what I am currently loving at this very moment in time.
1. Funny Meme
I had NO idea about this until I saw this — and now feel so dumb. Thought I would share with you all too, just to make us all smarter!
Currently Loving November 2024
This morning when I was walking the dog, I was in disbelief that there were Christmas lights on so many of the stores along Madison Avenue….but then I realized, we are 2/3 done with November and it is almost December….how did this happen? In any case, Christmas light season here we are. And here is what I am currently loving.
When I went to visit Cruzzie, I thought it would be nice to bring him and his friends something from NYC to CA. It had to be compact, easy to travel with, and something everything would like — which turns out to be candy. Bonbon candy. It was a huge hit and worth lugging it across the country.
Currently Loving October 2024
WELP, October here we are! (or actually mid October!) It has been a whirlwind month of the Chicago Marathon and then visiting weekend at my son’s boarding school. Maybe life will slow down now??? Or not…but in the meantime, here is what I am currently loving!
1. Cruzzie’s Dining Hall
Cruzzie’s school, The Thacher School, is located in Ojai, California. It is the dreamiest place I have ever been — not just the academics, people, community, program, ethics, but also just the pure beauty of the school. Here is the dining hall at dinner. LOOK AT THAT SUNSET. You can eat outside. IT IS INCREDIBLE.
Currently Loving September 2024 Part 2
Almost October — last licks of summer (even though it is September). Here is what I am loving at the end of this month!
1. Funny Meme
SO. TRUE.
Currently Loving September 2024
WHOA here we are. September. Kids are finally in school (I miss them) and it feels like we never had a break. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. Here are random things that I am loving!
1. Hazelnuts
I ate these in one sitting. I love hazelnuts (they are grown everywhere in Oregon) and this combination of sweet and salty are to die for. I bought these to bring back to NYC but then ate them that same day. Oops.
Currently Loving August 2024 Part 2
Fall is around the corner, but still trying to soak up every inch of sunshine and moment of summer. Here is what I am currently loving Part DEUX of August 2024. And please share with me what you are loving too — I always love hearing what people are loving at the moment.
1. Tru Fru
HOLY CRAP THESE ARE ADDICTING. The best little bit of sweetness and dessert. We love them in both dark and milk chocolate — but especially the milk chocolate raspberries. You must get. To die for. Frozen raspberries coated in white chocolate and then milk.
2. Rafting
Currently Loving – Menorca Edition
So much to love on the island of Menorca! Here is what I loved on Menorca during our two week stay. (And if you are thinking about visiting Menorca –DO IT!)
1. Beaches
So many different types of beaches! I loved them all. Rustic, small, popular, chaotic, lounge chairs — every style, I loved.
Paris Dogs
The first day we arrived in Paris, Tusia and I noticed that there were so many dogs walking around. The dogs and their owners looked SO more chic than the dogs of NYC (or the States in general), so we decided to document them and it was so fun! Take a look at these photos — not only are the dogs so cute (and the owners and their style, too) but the background and scenes of Paris, OH MY, I love.
Heels to walk the dog, love it.
Currently Loving Paris Edition
Went on a quick 3 day trip to Paris last week to celebrate Tusia’s 12th birthday and there are so many highlights from the trip! Here is what I loved from Paris last week (and will always love)
1. The Random Street Art
is there anything more beautiful than art all over the streets of Paris? I could spend days just looking at the walls along the streets!
Currently Loving #2 April 2024
The days are long, the weeks are short, but here we are to almost May! So much has happened this month — mainly, going back to school (and teaching) after Spring Break, a cross country tip to visit schools, a family medical situation, more work, more rain, more running, more forgetfulness. Not sure what happened, but the month went WOOSH by. Now, I am getting ready to plan for summer, go BACK to the west coast for a marathon, finish up the school year, and all the other normal busy end of the year obligations. So apologies for the sporadic posts, I am committed to being more consistent going forward. And here is what I am currently loving:
1. Flowers in NYC
Nothing beats the flowers in the city in Springtime. My favorite thing is to look at the difference stages of all the tulips along Park Avenue, the various magnolia, cherry trees, the violets, the pansies, all the bright colors and smells. LOVE.
Currently Loving April 2024
Here is what I am loving (residue from Spring Break):
1. Leaving
Enjoyed this book as I found it beautifully written. I also loved that the author lives in my building. I want to have her over and discuss the book — who wants to come?????
Currently Loving March 2024
And here we are! March! This is what I am currently loving (of course also longer days, more sunlight, sparkling water, hot showers, etc)…
1. Hot Cocoa from Glace
A TikTok trend of Smores hot cocoa at a cute (and small) boutique on Madison Avenue. Worth it! VERY VERY sweet but so fun and different (especially on a cold, snowy day, like we treated ourselves to these on).
Currently Loving February 2024
January was a long year….and now we are at the shortest month, but it’s still winter (which I don’t love) but this is what I AM loving!
1. H Mart Haul
H Mart is a Koren grocery store that has every kind of Asian food that you want. Last weekend, we went there as an activity, and there was so much to look at and buy, we could have all stayed there for HOURS! This was some of our goodies that we picked up. Chocopie — HUGE hit with Cruzzie. His favorite — and now I need to go back and get more for him.
