So you’re thinking about getting a Peloton bike? Did you already order one? Now what? I love our Peloton bike. I’ve been on a 90+ week streak (at least one ride every week). When we bought ours, I wished I had a guide to give me some more insight into what I’d need beyond the bike. So here’s what we we found helpful so far. We ordered this bike in March 2020…
One of the bigger toys we gave to Liam is his play kitchen. It’s a cute model from Ikea; very Scandinavian and simple. He loves to make us food and especially loves to make me coffee in the morning. French vanilla, with milk and ice (although sometimes he surprises me with a dash of protein powder and corn). The setup is very simple and I love that the stove lights…
We’ve hit the five-month mark of working from home. No one said this was going to be easy. In fact, it seems like all the people in school who took on the work for your group projects are the ones now doing it again for the pandemic, and we are tired. This is not over because you’re over it. And please arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor. It was a…
We moved to the ‘burbs. Well, Queens. Each of the Manhattan neighborhoods we’ve lived in (UWS, UES, and East Harlem) had their own personalities. Astoria is no different. In fact, it’s been refreshing. I’m so happy to be done with the 4-5-6 on a daily basis. While we miss walking through Central Park to HomeGoods and being able to walk home from work, our new neighborhood has a lot to…
Fall is my favorite season. And my favorite thing about fall? Pumpkins. Not just PSLs, but the actual fruit. Growing up in the ‘burbs, I loved going to Lyman Orchards to pick out pumpkins. By the end of the trip, I’d pick out every pumpkin I could carry. I wanted to carve them all! To further my pumpkin addiction, I made these adorable pumpkin succulent centerpieces. Call me crafty. Fatima…

We finally got a new bed spread! When we first moved in, we were using my old gray and red bedding I got when I first moved to the city. Very masculine, I liked it but Fatima did not. It was made for a twin bed. When Fatima moved the rest of her stuff into the apartment, we outfitted the bed with her duvet set – too feminine. It worked; it was…
