I’m not ashamed to admit defeat. My garden this year was a total flop. My theories: 1. A little of me being a bad mom. Busy schedule, not pruning, watering, and feeding them enough. I’m not about to get nominated for any gardener-of-the-year awards. 2. A little of the weather. It’s been so, so hot [...]

An Interlude with Nonna, Compliments of Artsparrow
Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2010.

Months ago, when Pomato Revival was still just a glimmer of an idea, I stumbled upon this cartoon on her blog. I still can’t get over how perfect it is. That floral housecoat, that [...]

Much as we Gaglianos are livin’ the Sicilian-American dream, the Sungarians have been rockin’ the Armenian-American dream since Katherine’s parents immigrated from Bulgaria in the 60′s. She is a master at keeping their heritage [...]

Posted on Wednesday, August 11, 2010.
I’ve been working on my own garden of sorts this summer. I originally had high hopes for planting in the ground, but I ended up with pots along the edge of our tiny urban “lawn” after a difference of opinions with my neighbor on who can plant where. Fine. I’ve moved on. It started innocently [...]

A Necklace for You, A Necklace for Me
Posted on Friday, August 6, 2010.
I’m not one to obsess over the day I have kids. I’m excited about it eventually, yes, but I’ve tried not to latch on to ideals of how I plan to raise them, or what I swear I will or will not do as the perfect parent. Lord knows I’ll probably start messing up my [...]
