Get out your costume and stock up on fun-size candies because it’s (almost) Halloween! I can hardly contain my excitement, as Halloween marks the start of my favorite season of the year. For me, the day signifies the beginning of non-stop holiday baking and countless festive gatherings with friends and family. I’ve rounded up the 10 best Halloween desserts because there’s no […]
Between juggling work, motherhood and family time, getting that uninterrupted, laugh-until-we-cry connecting time with gal pals over glasses of wine and savory cheese plates seems to be the one area of life that gets put on the back burner for moms. But, finding the time to pencil them in should be a priority because talking things […]
photographed by Jessica Attie As children we tend to dream of the place we’ll live as adults, and that our best friends will be right next door. Turns out that street really does exist — we found it in a quiet corner of Travis Heights, a historic neighborhood in South Austin. None of the four […]
I love a warm, spiced muffin as soon as the temperatures begin to drop. I know most jump for pumpkin bread and the like, but I love the simple flavors of maple, molasses and lots of Autumn spices. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a mid-day snack and they’re even great for dessert (maybe add […]
Even as the founder of the beautiful and coveted wedding blog Style Me Pretty and a mother of three, Abby Larson still finds time to entertain and fill her home with the people she loves on a regular basis. Her secret? Keeping things simple and always having a few key ingredients and entertaining pieces on […]
I’ve always been intrigued by the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos (also Day of the Dead), which incorporates symbols that we typically think of as “creepy” like skulls and bones…but is actually a true celebration of departed loved ones and life! Instead of being dark and brooding, it’s a holiday that’s brimming with […]
The window of time during which you can choose how to dress your kid is a finite one. It’s not long before making matchy-matchy outfits that you find utterly adorable is replaced with doling out allowance for them to buy and wear what they want… and Halloween’s no different. Last year we dressed Phoebe up as a pineapple because […]
As promised, I’m sharing a few sneak peeks from inside the pages of my book before its release on October 28th, and these shots from Setting the Fall Table are some of my faves… In the book, each season kicks off with inspiration for setting the table for a dinner party — flowers, linens, dishes, DIY elements, […]
Is anyone else currently drooling over all things pumpkin? Here in Texas, we’ve been greeted by a few too many cold weather teasers, which only beg for constant daydreams of falling leaves and autumn anticipations. Enter dreams of bundling up in warm knits and flannels, the sweet scents of a burning pumpkin soufflé candle, the laughter of children […]
You’ve got the inspiration and your menu is set… the only thing left? Do-it-yourself decor elements that’ll have guests buzzing, and a little piece of the party for them to take home as favors. Thankfully, both details can come together in a flash, and require nothing more than a few materials you likely already own, and […]
If you caught Monday’s ghostly photo shoot, you may have noticed the the frightful bites and creepy cocktails that graced our wooded party. Since they’re perfect for just about any kind of Halloween bash, today we’re serving up the instructions and recipes for both those adorably spooky pumpkin macarons and Camille’s Poison Berry Smash cocktail. […]
I’ve officially been bitten by the salted caramel bug. Salted caramel ice cream, salted caramel sauce (to drizzle over ice cream, of course), salted caramel brownies… there’s something about the toasty buttery flavor of caramel that’s just made for a sprinkle of sea salt, and I’ve recently caught myself fantasizing about how to add more of […]
There’s something so inherently terrifying about the woods. Take me on a hike any day of the week, but as soon as that trail starts to taper off, I’m backtracking faster than you can say trick-or-treat. Since there’s nothing we love more than letting our imaginations run wild this time of year (remember last year’s […]
When you receive an invitation to spend the weekend in St. Helena, you start looking for flights immediately. That’s just what Michael and I did when Julia and Chris Lake asked if we’d be interested in visiting Esser Vineyards, the beautiful mountainside retreat that was Julia’s childhood home. As an event planner extraordinaire who currently […]
