Outside the Kitchen - Soren's Purple Plate

Outside The Kitchen is a page where you will be able to find a lot of interesting topics that have little to do with food: motherhood, friends, relationships, health, moods, travel, birth stories, life with a baby, hobbies, life in Manhattan with kids, etc. One of the first segments coming up is a section called Interesting Moms, which will cover amazing, creative, hardworking, glamorous, and down-to-earth moms - all of whom are my dear friends - who will share their thoughts, fears, enjoyment and philosophies on pregnancy, giving birth, raising kids, having careers, carving out time for themselves, marriage, and in general what's important in life. Please stay tuned.
