The Artist and the Storyteller

I imagined myself getting to hear the up-close-and-personal romances of interesting people, doing truly interesting things together as couples.

Weekend Notes

Hey friends, hope you’re all having a cozy holiday vibe-filled weekend. Yesterday we bundled up and took the kids out for brunch and a long chilly walk around the city, then spent the afternoon wrapping gifts, mailing cards, and watching Christmas movies (Phoebe’s obsessed with The Grinch.)

A Swanky Cocktail Party to Toast the New Year

It feels like a new hot spot opens in Austin every weekend (because it does), and our list of must-try restaurants is starting to get a bit out of control. After checking out Eberly’s bar for Landrie’s birthday bash last month, we were smitten, and couldn’t wait to get back to try their contemporary American cuisine in that stunning midcentury dining room. For our most recent girls’ […]
