2016 The past year was a difficult one personally.  The loss of my mother-in-law to cancer and the continued decline of my dad to early-onset Alzheimer’s were not things that my husband, Nick, and I expected to face in our twenties.  (You can read more about how I...

First, keep them at room temperature! The texture gets mealy in the fridge. Second, unless you’re growing them yourself or buying directly from a local farmer, there’s a pretty ugly side to these summertime goods (and many other crops). Farm workers are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 due to their working conditions and lack of access to healthcare. Some of the conditions are so bad, they amount to modern slavery. For the past several years, we’ve financially supported @immokalee.workers and their fight for fair food. Check out the work they’re doing—it’s important!

As a book-loving family, and with last week’s #blackpublishingpower call to action, I thought our bookshelves were a good place to start.

I know books are just one small place to start in the very large and complex problem of racism, but I hope this encourages you to evaluate your bookshelves and/or create some goals, too.

Last Friday, we went to a family Juneteenth celebration in @summerhill_atl and afterward finally got the chance to try @bigsoftieatl. This is their classic vanilla soft serve with @xocolatlchocolate shell. It was perfectly nostalgic (but even better) and a nice nod to my dad on Father’s Day weekend. #eatlocalATL #dipcone
