Life lately
Sarah is planning a trip (sans kids!) to visit a friend in Nashville next month. Abby is celebrating the birth of two friends’ first child and remembering both the joy and challenges of those first days with a newborn.
Reading lately
Sarah read the sequel to Gone With the Wind—Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. She enjoyed it, but some of the magic was missing from the original.
Abby is listening (and laughing) to Catherine Newman’s latest book, Catastrophic Happiness: Finding Joy in Childhood’s Messy Years.

Eating lately
Abby expanded her enchilada repertoire to include black bean enchiladas. Instead of chili con carne, she used this chili gravy recipe for the sauce.
Sarah’s been loading up on purple radishes from the farmers’ market and sauteing them in butter and salt.
