A newsletter devoted to reading, eating, and family dinner, however you define "family" and however you define "dinner." Written by the bestselling author of the Dinner: A Love Story book series including, most recently "The Weekday Vegetarians."

I've been following the Dinner: A Love Story blog forever...now my kids are older and hers are in college but we both still love thinking about dinner! So many easy family recipes plus delightful stories and recommendations.

A little piece of my heart still remains in Seattle, a place I still consider home although I haven't lived there in almost 20 years. I love reading Molly Wizenberg's thoughtful essays, often influenced by life in the Pacific Northwest.

Parent of Adults

By Asha Dornfest

Let's compare notes on life beyond the empty nest. By the author of PARENT HACKS.

I listened to Asha's previous project, a podcast called Edit Your Life, for many years. I know I'm going to blink and my kids will be in college just like hers, so I'm looking forward to reading her newsletter about parenting adult children. Plus, I get to hear about her life in the Pacific Northwest, which always makes me happy!
