This Cozy Brunch Makes Us Wish the Holidays Lasted Forever

The gifts have been ripped opened and you’ve said buh-bye to your Christmas Spotify station (until next year), but between now and New Years, you’ve still got a few days of celebrating to do. Since many of us have some time off work this week, it’s the perfect time to invite a few friends for a […]

Merry Christmas (and a few great holiday reads)

Merry Christmas Eve, friends! Hope you’re having a cozy morning and that your day ahead is filled with love and joy. We’ve had a rocky start to the holiday – Henry (among other family members) came down with the flu a couple days ago, and there are few things sadder than a 2-year-old who feels […]

These are the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Planet

It’s a bold claim, I know, but I’ve had these tested by Adam an official cookie expert, and the verdict is in: these are the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet. Since they’re chock-full of nuts, coconut, and oats, one might call them a “monster cookie,” but the fact remains that they’ve beat any […]

Watch Me Make Carrot Cake Trifles in Under 2 Minutes

It’s so close to Christmas I can taste it… especially after filling our studio kitchen with all the holiday aromas when I made these orange carrot cake trifles last week. Click here for the recipe, and watch the video above to see how super fast they come together. Let me know if you give them […]

Orange Carrot Cake Trifles

One of the best ways my mom communicates love is through carrot cake. Seriously. Her co-workers know that it’s gonna be a great day when she shows up to the hospital (she’s a psych nurse) holding the covered dish that houses her famous 3-layered orange carrot cake sandwiched with orange cream cheese frosting. It’s insanely […]

Weekend Notes: Stress-proof your holiday and take a social media break

Good morning, friends! Hope you’re all having a cozy holiday weekend. Ours has so far been full of all the clichés (decorating Christmas cookies, wrapping gifts, sipping hot cocoa by the fire), and I COULD NOT be happier about it. It feels like the season flies by in such a blur that I’m determined to […]

A Chic Handmade Holiday Dinner Party

Around the holidays, adding a handmade touch to the table feels especially in keeping with the sentimental vibe of the season. Crafting your own place cards or centerpieces adds a wonderfully personal touch to the table — and they’re likely to become keepsakes, carefully unpacked year after year. For the holiday dinner party we threw […]

Smoked Salmon Toast with Mustard and Herbs

Most of the parties we host at our house are as casual as it gets: thirty minutes in, everyone’s kicked off their shoes (and usually jumped in the pool). If I serve appetizers, it’s something super simple like homemade guac and salsas or a good cheese with a crusty baguette. The one exception is our […]

J.Crew’s Gift Guide Just Launched & Here’s What I’m Asking For

photos by kristen kilpatrick ‘Tis the season for stacks of catalogs to arrive in the mail each day – and while most of them instantly hit my recycling bin, it’s become a tradition that the minute my J.Crew gift guide makes its appearance, I start earmarking pages to “casually” leave out in hopes that Adam […]

Easy Holiday Decorations That Use Grocery Store Ingredients

Growing up, the holiday event I looked forward to more than anything else was the night we decorated the Christmas tree. We’d turn on holiday tunes, pour mugs of rich cocoa topped with plenty of marshmallows and get to work unpacking the boxes of ornaments we’d brought down from the attic. Later that night, we’d watch […]

Weekend Notes: The Best Hot Chocolate & How to Be More Present

Morning, friends – and happy weekend! Are things starting to feel a bit holiday-ish where you are? Our weekend so far has included an epic sushi dinner at this spot, decorating and organizing our new guest bedroom (stay tuned), and yesterday I did a fun cooking class with Marcus Samuelsson. Oh and last night, we […]

Announcing Our Next Big Design Project

I’ve always been a big believer that our surroundings have a huge effect on our mental and emotional state, but it wasn’t until we moved into our renovated studio space that I realized how much an inspiring environment can truly spark creativity. The light pouring in through the windows each morning makes me so excited […]

This Build-Your-Own Flatbread Party Is Instagram Ready

I love a party where guests do all the work. I know, it sounds counterintuitive, but stay with me because I’m not talking about taking out the trash or unloading the dishwasher (’cause no one will ever want to come to your parties ever again if you make them do that). I’m talking about the […]

How to Prep a Holiday Wine & Appetizer Party in Under an Hour

Over the weekend, Adam and I sat down with our calendars, pens, and glasses of Pinot and got organized on our holiday season schedules. We penciled in dates for each of our company parties, taking the kids to see Santa, dinners with our families, and the couples dinner party we look forward to throwing each […]

Blood Orange & Beet Salad from Athena Calderone’s Must-Read Cookbook

I’m one of those weird people who read cookbooks like novels; I can stay up into the night earmarking pages of recipes I want to try and planning imaginary party menus around them. Ever since I got my hands on the beautiful new cookbook by my friend Athena Calderone, founder of lifestyle site EyeSwoon, it’s […]

Our Cozy Friendsgiving Feast with Target

Welcome to the season of colorful leaves and scents of cinnamon wafting from the kitchen. For my latest seasonal celebration with Target, I invited my coworker besties to join me for a cozy Friendsgiving meal around the table. This fall celebration is dripping in rich jewel tones, warm metallics, and organic elements like wood, berries, […]

Butternut Squash, Spinach, & Goat Cheese Pasta

Since we embraced the opportunity to go a little less traditional with the food at our Friendsgiving Feast, a meatless main with major fall vibes felt like just the ticket since it made my vegetarian friends happy — and ensured that we didn’t overdose on turkey before Thanksgiving actually rolls around. This butternut-squash-pasta with spinach […]
