Life Lately

We’ve been traveling! Sarah to Missouri to see the totality of the solar eclipse and Abby to Nashville and Huntsville to visit family and friends.

Reading lately

Sarah read Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House, a memoir by Alyssa Mastromonaco, which was a fun look into the life of a young, powerful White House staffer.

Abby just finished the best memoir she’s read in years: The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying by Nina Riggs. Riggs writes about her cancer diagnosis and life as a young mom–a powerful, beautiful read.

How we roll

We talk about how we get around now and how our transportation situations have evolved over the years. Sarah is part of a car-free family and bikes where they need to go, while Abby’s is a one-car family who loves to walk and bus. On our dream transportation list: a Brompton for Sarah and an Austlen Entourage.

Eating lately

Abby is trying to recreate the perfect macaroni and cheese, as made by our friend in Alabama.

Sarah enjoyed a broccoli salad made by her mom.
