every day just got better
My husband and I had a pretty incredible dinner at Fig & Olive in Scarsdale six months ago. I love the warm glow of Fig & Olive at night — and I’ve thought about the Moroccan tagine I ordered since.

Brunch used to be a staple in our house. Then we had Harper. Suddenly, going out to breakfast on a Sunday meant a trip to the local diner, lots of greasy bacon included.
If you miss the smell of warm sweet rolls on a Saturday (remember that basket of goodies at Sarabeth’s!) as much as I do, consider hiring a sitter for a “date day,” rather than a date night. Don’t feel guilty about leaving your little ones home on a Saturday or Sunday — it’s a few hours — and it’s totally legit to want to see your husband in the daylight hours sometimes too.
