I have a problem, and there’s no getting around it: lately, I’m constantly running late. Even though I don’t think that most of my friends would describe me as an especially late person, the truth is that I’m always running slightly (5 – 10 minutes) late almost everywhere I go, and the constant rushing often leaves me feeling stressed […]
There are few things in life I love more than a breakfast date, and (as you’ve probably noticed from my Instagram feed) there’s one spot in town that dominates my pre-noon rendezvous. Josephine House is a charming bungalow in Austin’s equally charming Clarksville neighborhood, and its whitewashed wood, marble countertops, breezy patio, and perfect pastries make […]
If I’m eating lunch at my desk, most days it looks something like this: a healthy grain like quinoa or farro leftover from last night’s dinner, plus whatever cooked veggies I have on hand, some raw greens and usually some chopped up avocado because, let’s face it: avocado makes everything better. A sprinkle of herbs, […]
I have to admit that I’d been feeling a little “off” this week — just kind of down-in-the-dumps for no other reason than possibly hormones and tiredness. Yesterday I decided that I refused to waste a gorgeous summer Saturday by being in a bad mood, so I put my to-do list on hold and spent the day splashing […]
Next up in our #SipsForSummer series is this to-die-for Spicy Paloma that Ashley Rose from Sugar & Cloth created. I can’t wait ’til the clock strikes 5 today so I can let get this happy hour rolling. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of cocktails with a spicy kick! Don’t miss […]

Y’all know that I love a great summer cocktail — and who doesn’t love a bright summer mani?! – so I couldn’t have been more ready to dive into summer with Target Style for a little shindig that’s all about experimenting with some new nail colors inspired by my favorite cocktail of the season: this […]
One of my favorite memories from growing up was when my mom would surprise us on a random weeknight with the announcement: “Banana splits for dinner!” She’d set out bowls with bananas and vanilla ice cream, then all the accompaniments: homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, fresh berries, toasted pecans, strawberry sauce, and of course, cherries […]
As a naturally nosy curious person, I love those articles that show what different people always keep in their bags: I’m fascinated by the little things that they can’t travel without, and it’s always a great way to discover cool new products. Since my must-haves have evolved since I became a mom to a toddler, and then […]
It’s here! the much-hyped Apple Watch finally landed on my front porch 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been (mostly) wearing it ever since. It’s really my first foray into wearable technology; Adam gifted me a Fitbit for Christmas a couple years ago, and I must not have really understood the strap mechanism since it fell […]
Happy weekend, darlings! Hope yours has gotten off to a great start. I’ve taken a couple weeks off from posting our usual Weekend Notes, since frankly, time has been a precious commodity since Henry was born, and also, I’ve been making a conscious effort to set a slower pace during these summer weekends and not try to do […]
Excited to launch a fun new summer series today that’s going to take your Friday happy hours to a whole ‘nutha level. We’re teaming up with some of our favorite sites around the web for the biggest cocktail party ever over the next few weeks, and today we’re kicking it off with one of my […]
If y’all are following #CSBookClub on Instagram, you know that I’m currently making my way through The Untethered Soul, a weighty read by Michael A. Singer that explores the questions of who we are, and how we can discover our true identities through consciousness. It’s giving me a lot to think about, and so far, the […]
Taken a look at the calendar lately? It’s hard to believe how quickly this summer is racing by and that the Fourth of July is only 3 days away! The 4th is one of my favorite food days of the year, and I’ve been scouring my recipe files for ideas on what to toss on the grill (there’s still […]

I’m a big fan of brunch as one of the most fun times to invite friends over for a meal. It always feels way more laid-back than a dinner party, and everyone arrives feeling relaxed and happy after sleeping in that morning. For the first post in our series with Blue Diamond Almonds, I decided to organize […]
If I had to choose the fantasy that I return to most often, it would be to live near the beach. There’s nothing that relaxes me like the sound of crashing waves and the scent of saltwater. I’ve heard people say that when you live at the beach, you start to take it for granted […]

Hey y’all, happy weekend! Hope you’re having a good one so far. We’re brunching and hanging with our dads to celebrate Father’s Day. I feel incredibly lucky to have a dad who is always there for me and loves me no matter what; someone who I can count on to be there whenever I need him (and even […]
This is one of those recipes that can hardly be called a “recipe” because it’s really just assembling a few ingredients… but when it comes to appetizers, isn’t that really the best kind? When I’m racing to get dinner on the table and throw on some lipstick before guests ring the doorbell, the last thing […]
*editor’s note: While Camille is taking some time to enjoy her new bundle, we’ve invited a few of our favorite foodies to stop by and share their most loved seasonal recipes. We’ve still got Kate’s Spring Potato Pizza on our minds, and thought we’d lighten things up a bit with today’s perfectly summery salad, brought to us by the […]
As I type this I’m savoring a rare quiet Saturday afternoon: Phoebe and Henry are both napping, leaving me to satisfy a serious urge to bake with this strawberry-almond cake that’s been on my list for awhile. It’s currently in the oven and the scent in my kitchen is making me ridiculously hungry… I’ll let […]
