National Geographic - China forges ahead with ambitious national park plan. The new system aims to benefit wildlife and people alike, but balancing conservation with the development of a tourism industry can be tricky.
Vogue - What’s New on Netflix in September. Now that I’m almost done binge-watching Yellowstone I’m going to need something really good to fill the void next month! Any recs?
Veranda - These Are the 15 Most Beautiful National Park Lodges in the U.S. Fun fact: Frank and I were almost married at the Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island. Ultimately we decided it was too far for my family already traveling from Belgium to NY, but I still think about how lovely that would have been.
New York Magazine - Say Good-bye to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. This one really hit close to home - no more Blue Hill, no more Chef Barber. What do you think about the new plan?

make - Crispy bean cakes with harissa, lemon, and herbs. I made these and served them over a bed of micro greens - so good! More and more I find myself looking for meatless recipes to supplement chicken or a burger. These bean cakes are delicious and filling. For sides, I made hummus, a fresh cucumber salad, and put out my favorite kalamata olives.
tea - Our number one most used kitchen appliance is this compact tea maker. I use it to make loose leaf tea, to boil water for regular tea, and Frank uses it ever morning to boil water for his French press. We’ve had it for over a year now and I’m shocked at how much we use it. I love that you can select the temperature of your water which is important when making tea, but has also come in handy for recipes. Highly recommend!
mr. sun - This Surya rattan sun arrived last week and its even better in person! Originally I was going to put it in the boy’s room but I’m actually thinking I’ll use it in their bathroom or the playroom (basement). Right now he’s been hanging out on the living room mantle and they greet him every morning!
makeup - This is the best under eye concealer I’ve ever tried. Period. It doesn’t cake, it doesn’t show creases, and it stays on.
movie night - Frank surprised me with an outdoor movie last Saturday night! In case you missed it, here is the post on Instagram. It was one of my favorite nights of the Summer. This is the portable projector we used and he attached it to this tripod. We don’t have a professional “sheet” yet so he just used one of our old fitted sheets (LOL) and it was perfect! Highly recommend outdoor movie nights! Don’t forget the bug spray:)
