The end of summer is always a little bittersweet: hello, cooler temps and pumpkin spiced lattes, goodbye lazy days and afternoons by the pool! This fall I’m determined to hold onto a little bit of summer’s more carefree attitude, and part of that means taking time to indulge in those take me away moments that help us […]
I’ve got to admit, one of the most fun parts of having a 3-year-old daughter is that I finally have an excuse to plan parties with incredibly girly themes like “Woodland Fairy.” And now that Phoebe is old enough to have strong opinions of her own, she gets to weigh in with a birthday party wish […]
Are y’all having a good start to the week? If you’re like me, it can be tough to dive back into the workweek after a fun weekend, so I always try to put something a little escapist on the calendar for Monday morning. I’m super excited to roll out a new search feature on the blog today […]
Before I had Henry, I have to admit that I thought girls had all the fun when it came to fashion: could a boy possibly compete with the thrill of picking out sweet dresses and girly accessories for Phoebe? Well, turns out that Henry stole my heart to such a degree that everything is as thrilling as […]
Hi guys, hope you’re having a great weekend so far! We’re doing our best to soak up the last vibes of summer with a trip to the farmers’ market, a homemade batch of frozen margaritas, and mainly just spending as many hours in our swimsuits as possible. Can’t believe it’s the last weekend before Labor […]
TGIF! And just because school’s in session doesn’t mean we have to kiss summer goodbye quite yet. As long as temps are in the triple digits, I’m still wholeheartedly embracing rosé season, and this slushy cocktail is the perfect way to do it. It’s a fitting drink to close out our #SipsForSummer series, but be sure […]
Well, it’s happened: my baby girl just up and decided to turn 3! It’s bittersweet to look back at photos from when she turned 2 and realize how much she’s grown from a toddler into a little girl over the past year; one with a full-fledged personality, sense of humor, and definite opinions about everything! […]

It’s Monday! And if you’re like me, that means clean eating to make up for the sins of the weekend (rosé, fries, and an inordinate amount of caramel corn… check.) Let’s start by talking about these roasted lemons. They’re a new thing for me, and I currently want to put them in everything (i.e., last night […]
Hey guys! What are y’all up to this weekend? After a really busy workweek for both Adam and me, it’s been nice to just chill the last couple of days. We got last-minute childcare for an impromptu date night on Friday (bliss!), and the rest of the weekend has been lounging in the pool with friends, […]
A few weeks ago, we shared the highlights from the FEED Supper we threw at Josephine House… and today’s a really exciting day, because host sign-ups open up to everyone on FeedProjects.com! To get you up to speed, FEED Supper is a global grassroots dinner party series that happens between 9/16 – 10/16 with the goal of raising […]
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 […]
Have you ever been on vacation and had such an amazing meal that, for the rest of time, you feel transported back whenever you taste something similar? That’s what this drink does for me. A few years ago, Adam and I went to Cabo for a weekend getaway and ordered the day’s special from the poolside bar (is there […]

Weeknights are one of my favorite times to get together with friends. Not only is it an unexpected time to have a party, but the anticipation of a social event makes a middle-of-the-week workday so much more fun! I know, I know: the thought of cooking, hosting, and cleaning up sounds like a lot to tackle after […]

Can’t believe that August is here! This has been one of those weekends that makes me wish summer would last forever. Patio brunching with friends, swimming for hours, grilling dinner at dusk with a glass of rosé in hand… It’s definitely my favorite time of year. Although I have to admit that I did spend […]
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 […]
