Harlow came home from school really fired up about Earth Day. She decided to create a poster telling people to do the three Rs— reduce, reuse and recycle.

It had started snowing Sunday night and kept falling for the next 24 hours, blanketing the city in snow. There is nothing I love more than NYC covered in white.

May we all have the big baking energy of a 8yo who makes a giant doughnut cake for her own birthday, during a pandemic, when she can’t even invite friends over to help her eat it.

Harlow bakes Halloween themed sugar cookies, calls melted butter disgusting, screams for napkins, and has Mazzy on as her special guest cookie decorator. Enjoy!

Mazzy has a history of dressing up as badass women for Halloween. Harlow, on the other hand, has been dressing up as the world’s biggest style icons since before she could walk.

Our plan depends on our schools’ plans and NYC’s plan, so nothing seems set in stone. But here’s where we are right now: Mazzy will be doing school remotely, while Harlow attends in-person ...

I told the kids that school was canceled for the rest of the year. I honestly wasn’t expecting a huge reaction (we’ve assumed this all along), but Harlow got really upset.

Her name is Frankie. She is the cutest ever and we all don’t know what to do with ourselves except stare at her PRECIOUS FACE.

As per usual, when it comes to holidays, Harlow is ALL IN. I was going to skip Easter this year, since it’s not really our holiday, but Harlow had other plans.

We don’t sell Girl Scout Cookies online. I prefer to make the girls really work for every sale, just like I did when I was a kid.

At Harlow’s 7th birthday party… there were pandas. There were doughnuts. There were panda doughnuts. Yep, that’s right. We celebrated with a panda doughnut baking party at Freshmade NYC.

We decided to switch it up this year and spend New Year’s Eve in Vermont, skiing, sipping hot chocolate and eating s’mores.
