Nothing’s better than settling into a sunny spot with an iced coffee and a good book in the summertime, am I right? The sheer act of making a summer reading list of all the books I want to read over the next 3 months feels like a physical reminder to make time to slow down […]
I’m obsessed with grilled octopus and whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I have to order it. But I’d always been a little intimidated to make it at home, until I read my friend Gaby’s recipe for octopus tacos in her genius new cookbook, and decided to try it myself. I couldn’t believe […]
The countdown to summer has begun, and I consider Memorial Day weekend to be the official kickoff. This year, since my birthday happens to fall the day after, we’re inviting friends for a dinner party on the back patio with food coming straight off the grill and a “bare feet required” dress code. When our […]
We talk quite a bit around here about cleaning up our social media habits in order to be more present, healthy, and not fall prey to the rabbit hole of the endless scroll. But during a recent 48-hour “digital detox” (more on that soon), I realized how much of my mental energy is also consumed […]
Morning, friends! Hope y’all are having a wonderful weekend. Ours has been full of lazy hours by the pool with the kids, running errands around town, and sunset rosé with a few good friends. In other words, it’s feeling like summer, and I couldn’t be happier about it. This Mother’s Day is extra special in […]
photographed by chanel dror These are the perfect snack because they look and feel like a cookie… but it’s a healthy apple slice in disguise! Perfect for satisfying those afternoon cravings for something naughty without the guilt. We slathered on peanut butter “frosting,” then let everyone choose their favorite toppings.

photos by kristen kilpatrick So far, my thirties have been all about discovering balance, trying new things, and finding deeper levels of inner confidence — in other words, the best decade of my life so far. That said, my birthday next month marks the move from “early” to “mid,” and it’s officially not too early to […]

photos by kristen kilpatrick It’s no secret that Austin is flush with amazing restaurants, but when it comes to choosing a spot for a truly special night out, there are a few that I return to time and again. Lenoir, with its imaginative prix fixe menu and jaw-dropping vintage chic interiors, is tip top on […]
photos by Hannah Haston It’s hard to describe life in Austin without mentioning tacos. The two are basically inseparable, and since it’s not out-of-the-question that I might start a day with breakfast tacos and end it with fajitas, you could say that I’ve gotten pretty good at putting fresh twists on the classics so that […]
featured photo via tigmi trading Morning friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. We had a fun night out with friends at new Italian spot Il Brutto on Austin’s eastside – it was one of those nights where the conversation and good wine flowed so freely that before we knew it, I was rushing home […]

images by Kristen Kilpatrick Now that the weather’s getting warmer, there’s no way I’d rather spend a sunny Sunday afternoon that shopping for plants to add to my growing collection (pun intended.) While Adam’s the master of our backyard landscaping, I’ve started quite the indoor garden of my own made up almost entirely of succulents […]
photo by luisa brimble via design*sponge Hi friends, hope you’re having a great weekend! By the time you read this, I’ll have been completely unplugged from all devices for 36 hours, with another 12 to go. For our next Wellness Report, I’m taking one for the team and trying out a full-blown digital detox, and […]

photography by Kristen Kilpatrick If I had to choose my go-to meal for serving a big crowd when I’m short on time, there’s no question it would be a whole roasted side of salmon. It’s a trick that I picked up in my first job as an event planner for a catering company — we […]
It’s hard to believe I’ve been running a business for 10 years. Some days I still feel like a total rookie (what’s a form 1099 again?), and then I have a coffee chat with a recent college grad or speak on a panel at Create & Cultivate, and realize that I’ve learned quite a bit […]
photos by kristen kilpatrick Now that I’m eating breakfast more often, I’m faced with a new conundrum: how to make my morning meal healthy, quick, and most importantly, not boring. Since smoothies check all the boxes, I make one for brekkie most days of the week, but sometimes I just don’t want to drink my breakfast, ya […]
images by kristen kilpatrick I’m always happy when I have an excuse to cross over to the east side of Austin which just keeps getting better…. and the list of restaurants I want to go to keeps getting longer. Hillside Farmacy is a longtime fave because of the ultra charming décor, but also because this […]
photography by Kristen Kilpatrick If there’s one menu item that’s a constant on our Easter table, it’s some type of roasted carrots. Not only are they on-theme (hello, bunny food!) but sweet spring carrots show off the bounty of the season and have so much natural flavor that they don’t even need to be messed […]
featured photo via sf girl By the time y’all read this, I’ll be on a ranch in West Texas with friends (and lots of kids under the age of 5) not doing much besides watching the river go by and wondering if it’s too early to bust out the chocolate chip cookie bars. After this week, […]
