There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t. And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative. So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras. The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust. It was a cruel irony.

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions. From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute. Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
