This week in New England we had deliciously warm days and deeply cold days, but no matter what the temperature, I know spring is on it's way. Proof: the light is heart-achingly beautiful, I have heard bird song every morning, and the witch hazel is blooming. I am all hope.

What I am reading: Modern Girls by Jennifer S. Brown. I am very lucky to have an ARC of this wonderful historical novel set in 1930's New York about a mother and daughter both having to make unthinkable choices. It's coming out April 5th!

What I am listening to: Grant Lee Phillips' Ladies Love Oracle. I believe this was GLP first solo project after Grant Lee Buffalo broke up. This record is a wonderfully dreamy, lo-fi collection of stories. Every year it creeps back into rotation. http://www.grantleephillips.com/album...

In the kitchen: I made Dorie Greenspan's Sunday in Paris cake from her wonderful cookbook Baking Chez Moi. Here is a picture:

New favorite: @doriegreenspan 's Sunday in Paris cake. Yum. #baking #dessert #chocolate #peanutbutter #cake #food #foodporn #foodstagram #nomnom

Happy week to you all!
