Dream Job :: Travel Writer
When I think of travel, two perfect words come to mind: rest and relaxation. It’s my time to turn off the technology, open my favorite book and put my tired feet up (preferably on the beach). This isn’t the case for Stirling Kelso…traveling is her job, albeit one she loves, so naturally her trips look […]
How To Shop Smart for Antiques
Downton I adore you, but my first love on PBS will always be Antiques Roadshow.

Summer Travel Essentials with The Weekender
It was on a trip to Ireland when she was eight years old that Lauren Greenberg caught that elusive and impossible to shake travel bug. “I took pictures with my mom’s Minolta and wrote in my travel journal every night,” she remembers. Since that first trip, she has travelled the world — celebrating along with […]
Monochromatic Monday :: White Out
There’s just something about summer that has me naturally gravitating to the heavenly hues of all things white. Think crisp fabrics, white sand beaches, fluffy clouds and icy treats…hello, paradise. Thankfully, this summer’s white-on-white trend has got us all pairing our favorite whites with… even more white. Ditching those colors and pulling out our favorite crisp and […]
Weekend Notes
As much as I love to travel, since I became a mom I’ve become much more of a homebody… and nothing feels better than coming home from a trip and having the weekend stretching ahead of me. Yesterday was all about unpacking and getting caught up on housework and emails from while I was away; […]

How to Write a Thank-You Note
I have always been a huge believer in the power of the written word, and teaching Phoebe the importance of expressing gratitude through the thank-you note is something I will start from an early age. We may live in the digital age, but there is still nothing like the feeling you get upon receiving a […]
Weekend Notes
Isn’t the weekend the most wonderful respite from the busyness of the workweek? Especially in the summertime: the days are supposed to be a little lazier and more about enjoyment, yet it’s often difficult to find time to kick back and have fun until Saturday rolls around.

It’s that time of the summer again: toeing the line between sun kissed and sunburnt, nose in my latest novel, always on the lookout for my new favorite lazy day hangout.
