Coconut-Lime Lemonade
In a large glass filled with ice, combine good-quality lemonade with a teaspooon of cream of coconut (it needs to be at room temperature in order to liquefy), and a generous squeeze of fresh lime (optional: add 1.5 oz rum to each glass to transform this into a perfect summer cocktail hour beverage).
Rotini with Asparagus, Smoked Mozzarella & Prosciutto
Can you tell that I'm maybe compiling a bunch of these to have ready for the arrival of The Small One? Yes yes, I'll freeze a whole bunch of stuff to have at the ready for those first couple of weeks, but honestly, I'd rather spend the before-bed hours with my family than with the stove...

Accessible Decor: Clean & Simple Stripes
The keys to this easy, pretty look are navy and nature: keep things simple with a basic blue-and-white palette, add a few textured elements like a wooden window covering, soft throw, and woven screen that doubles as a headboard, and you've created a classic, lovely (and inexpensive) bedroom.
P.S. For retro-looking metal tables like the teal one pictured above, keep an eye out at places like Housing Works - sometimes they'll get influxes of metal tables and chairs from schools that have a great midcentury look and go for next-to-nothing. Even an old metal child's desk can make for a great side table with a little imagination.
