An apple a day? An ode to one of fall’s most ordinary and extraordinary foods (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is something wonderfully uncomplicated about an apple. No ingredient list. No health halo emblazoned across a package. No influencer required to explain how to eat it. Just twist it from the tree, give it a quick polish on your shirt, and take a bite. Recently, my children and I joined some friends for apple picking at Tukenâs Orchard in West Alexandria. We wandered between long rows of trees, filling our bags with whatever looked sweetest and ripest. Some apples were deep red. Others we
The Dolly Parton prescription: What gives our lives meaning may also matter to our health (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dolly Partonâinspired cookies created by Ashleyâs Pastries capture some of the sparkle, color and joy she brought to the world. Ashleyâs Pastries / Contributed I have loved Dolly Parton for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I remember watching â9 to 5â with my mom, and my sisters and I sang the song around the house.

Read excerpt
This week, my kids and I found ourselves huddled around my phone, refreshing my email more times than Iâd like to admit as we waited to find out who their teachers would be for the new school year and â just as importantly â who would be in their new class. The excitement and anticipation of a new school year have officially arrived. School supply lists are slowly being checked off, open houses and sporting events are filling the calendar, and our family is beginning the familiar transitio
Why the beach feels like medicine, and ‘the ocean is your dance partner’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every year or two, our family packs up and heads to the Outer Banks. What began as a childhood tradition for my husband â who grew up spending summers here with his family in North Carolina â has become one of our own familyâs favorite traditions. This year felt especially meaningful as we gathered to celebrate my mother-in-lawâs 70th birthday. Family traveled from several states to spend the week together in a place that has quietly held decades of memories. There is something special a
