Happy Fourth of July!
From a quintessential American setting, wishing everyone a very happy Fourth of July! The Nantucket fireworks were last night, and while we didn’t venture into town for the festivities, the spirit was evident island-wide, as everyone from storefronts to iconic rose covered cottages proudly display their red, white and blue!…

In fact, her Tribeca apartment, where Lela lives with her husband and two children, was custom built around her love for entertaining.…
Happy Thanksgiving
There are many reasons to be thankful this year but I am always especially appreciative to have my family together for this special holiday. It’s not so often nowadays to have all four children home at the same time. Sometimes it feels more like a revolving door with one coming as another is leaving and while it’s a challenge to keep the kitchen stocked and stay awake for all the late night games, I am fully cognizant of just how fortunate we are.…
