Welcome back to Up to Date, with Kim and Tess of Moments Cookbook! And *drum roll please*...it's June! An exciting welcome to the June Issue, we're thrilled to chat about our time at the beach, what we're looking forward to in the month to come, and plenty of rambles/reminiscing about June's of the past. This episode we definitely went a bit off course (in a great way!), since we've been making a point to differentiate the vibes of the podcast from the mag itself. We don't want you to keep getting the same spiel over and over, so let us know if you like the more storytelling/random/chit chat vibes that transpired this time around. As always, think of this as your monthly update in podcast form: rituals, recipes, fashion, and inspiration for stepping into a new season.

Welcome to Calendar Girls, with Kim and Tess of Moments Cookbook! In this November Issue, we’re excited to look ahead to all things good food, great company, and the official start to the insanity of the holiday season.
