What I Did This Summer: A New York Bucket List
Summer is on its last legs, teasing us with crisp and blustery moments before seesawing back to sticky heat. Fall is my favorite season, in general but especially in New York, so I am thrilled at each hint of sweater weather that whistles down the wind. But even so, I will be a little sad…

Late Spring Playlist 2018: Derby Hangover
Getting back into the swing of real life after the Kentucky Derby is a little bit difficult, we’re not gonna lie. This last week back in New York felt longer than most, and we’re still struggling with not being able to spend all our free Saturdays sipping mint juleps in the sun (or, in our…

Early Autumn 2017: Ring Them Bells
We’re moving into early autumn here in Brooklyn. The sky is still sunny, but there’s a crispness in the air that marks the inevitability of sweater weather (our favorite kind). But even as we thrill to the first hints of fall, we find ourselves reflecting fondly on the summer coming to a close. And at…

Early Summer 2017 Playlist: Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain
If we were back in Kentucky, summer would be upon us already. School would be out, the weather would be warmer, and the pools would be opening. But alas, we are not in our beloved home state, and while we’re happy to escape the influx of pollen and dander that the season brings, there are…

Late Spring 2017 Playlist: Call to the Post
It’s our favorite time of year y’all. Winter has finally ceded the reins to Spring, flowers are blooming, and it’s time for the most decadent and depraved event in all of the South. Dust off your seersucker and unpack your fancy hat, it’s Derby Time! Now, as we reiterate each year around this time, while…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

Autumn 2016: Rain-Soaked Highway
Autumn has rushed into Brooklyn. The air is crisp and cool. Zelda is unfurling her cavalcade of scarves. Kids are heading back to school. and Scout is heading back below the Mason-Dixon line on a 12-hour road trip to attend yet another wedding (she’s actually quite excited about this one), and Zelda is off on a journey her…

August Playlist: Summertime Sunshine
Summer is coming to a close, and we’re all very sad about it. While we won’t miss the heat or the humidity or the smells of a New York summer, there is a distinctive scent of reality check in the air as we head into fall. So before the last of these long, lazy days…

July Round Up
It’s summertime in the city, and the living in our parts is decidedly sweaty. The heat has seeped in everywhere, even in places that should remain blessedly cool (see: Scout’s workplace, Zelda’s apartment). Zelda spent much of this month drowning in politics (#newsroomlyfe), while Scout was besieged by hordes of summer campers (#museumlyfe). But we…

June Round Up
June busted out all over the place this year and flew by in such a whirlwind that we can’t quite believe it’s almost gone. We’ve been busy bees this month: We both went home for the weekend (on separate occasions), we both saw the Dixie Chicks (once together, Zelda twice), we saw some great theatre…
