6 weeks postpartum here and I feel remarkably seen… the walk to CVS in particular! Sending love from another tired, milk-heavy being.

Congratulations and welcome back 🎈

Last week I held the Shabbat themed “what is your Roman Empire?”. Guests were required to dress as a topic they think about often.

Truly it was an excuse to make exclusively your recipes for the menu. Served up the squash soup with lentils and herbs, eggplant parm, & lemon pepper browned butter pasta, with a side salad and browned butter sours.

This time with your baby is incredibly sacred. Stay in the bubble as long as you want. With so many other aspects of your life in public, keeping this special moment for just you and your husband makes sense. Congratulations! I'm super happy for you.

Take Lindsay’s good advice. Stay in the bubble as long as you want. I led a business meeting by phone the day after my son was born and although it went fine, I regret it all these 32 years later. Kinda silly I know but still a bruise on my heart for deciding wrong!

2 weeks postpartum here and hear you on all of this. Here for the newsletters and the recipes when and however they come. Glad you're committing to authenticity during this raw and transformative time because how could it NOT change/shape/shift how you operate and express yourself in the world? Welcome back and congratulations :)

From the moment you announced your pregnancy, I was so excited to see Alison Roman do motherhood. Very excited for this chapter of your legacy

You encouraged me to chip away at a block of Parmesan like it’s a cheese board cheese. Which I did this morning while simmering soup with a Parmesan rind bobbing in there. I’m happy you’re back writing. And that you’re a mom!
