Morning, y’all! Hope everyone’s had a lovely weekend so far. This has been the first weekend we’ve been at home in almost a month, so it feels especially blissful to just hang out with nothing on the agenda besides jumping in the pool and grilling dinner. We threw Phoebe a fourth birthday party with a […]
Morning y’all, happy AUGUST? (how is that possible) Today we’ve got the second installation of my What to Read, Watch, & Listen To This Month series where I basically share all the media I’m currently ingesting and loving. The past month has been a little heavy on CNN and national conventions (I’m telling you people, weirder than […]
Morning, y’all! This weekend has been a bit nuts — it started on the Texas coast for Chanel’s bachelorette party in Port Aransas, and now I’m at my next stop in San Antonio for yet another girls’ getaway that just happened to fall on the same weekend. I can’t complain, but I have a feeling that it might be tough […]
Juley Le describes falling for her Boston Terrier as “love at first sight,” and we believe it. Because ever since we laid our eyes on Jameson in this entertaining story about Juley, well, we’ve been in love with him too! Sigh… guess the charmer just has that effect on women. Over a year into our secret admiration, we finally […]
As most of us make efforts to clean up our diets and be a little kinder to the environment in the process, it’s also important to consider the products we’re putting on our bodies and bringing into our homes. Today’s post, in partnership with Seventh Generation as part of our Living Green series, is all about the simple […]
We’re pretty sure there’s not a more enviable combination than that of chef and florist when it comes to couples with cool jobs. (Just think about what their date nights at home must look like!) So when we found out that florist Valerie Wolf of Davy Gray Floral is married to non-other than the executive chef at Justine’s Brasserie, Taylor […]
Morning y’all! So far, this weekend has been a sweet mix of date night, swimming with Phoebe and Henry, working on projects around the house, and a birthday dinner for a friend last night. Today’s goal is to continue that trend and hopefully feel completely rejuvenated and ready to tackle the week ahead — planning to spend […]
Meditation was a foreign concept to me until very recently. I’ll admit that when any of my friends or colleagues talked about meditating, I immediately envisioned them sitting down in a dimly-lit room, legs crossed, candles lit, with their eyes closed and maybe some soft music playing in the background with a cluster of crystals in […]
Do you ever feel bummed when a meal is over? That’s me about seventy-five percent of the time, partially because I’m so enthusiastic about what I’m eating that I simply never want it to end, but mostly because I ate it hurriedly and only halfway remembered to enjoy it. Does anyone else experience this? Since most of us are flying […]
Anxiety seems to be a natural part of today’s 9-5. We frantically answer emails all day long, avoid ever saying “no” because of some crazy fear that we might miss out on the next big thing, and then, of course, there’s our obsession with needing to know exactly what’s next. What’s my next career move? […]
Happy weekend, friends! What have y’all been up to? Today’s agenda consists of pool time, catching up with old family friends, perfecting my huevos rancheros recipe, and doing a little Pinterest research for a new design project I’m working on (stay tuned.) The work weeks have been so busy lately, I’ve been making a major […]
You guys might have noticed that we took a hiatus from our monthly On My Nightstand series because, well, I took a bit of a hiatus from books in general! After Henry was born, life got really busy and our routine was shaken up, and in such times I tend to fill any little breaks in my schedule […]
Happy holiday weekend, y’all! Hope yours involves a body of water and either hot dogs, barbecue, or a lobster roll, depending on where you are and your proclivities. For our annual Fourth of July bash tomorrow, Adam’s making his “smash” sliders on the grill (his own technique that involves a cast iron skillet and a spatula), […]
Happy weekend, friends! About this time in June every year, I always look at the calendar and realize that July is almost upon us — and that if I don’t start squeezing every last bit of fun out of these summer days, the season will be gone before I know it! That’s pretty much summed up this […]
“Motivation is what gets you started, but habits are what keep you going.” My mother hit me with this pointer on the phone last week during our regular call on my commute to work, proving yet again that moms really do know best. That catchphrase stuck with me throughout my day, leading me to consider […]
Ever reach that point mid-workout where you truly feel like you’re hitting a wall and cannot go on? It happens to me all the time – mostly on my road bike. I’ll wake up, get dressed, have my coffee, grab a bite to eat, and walk out the door with confidence and excitement to crush […]
Morning, y’all! It’s a gorgeous weekend around here — Austin is in its full summer glory and we’re soaking it up in the pool with nowhere we need to be and no idea what time it is. For me, the freedom of not being on a schedule is the best part of the weekend — conversations can linger […]
One of the biggest challenges in parenting a preschool-aged kid is teaching responsibility — without constantly nagging. Now that Phoebe’s almost four, we’ve decided that she’s ready to take on a few simple chores to learn the importance of pitching in and contributing to the family — plus, it’ll help me out since sometimes I […]
They say that comparison is the thief of all joy, and there’s no question that the hours we spend measuring our own life against that of others is time that would be better spent being grateful for what we do have, or even working to achieve the goals we’ve set for ourselves. Of course, some level […]
Thank goodness for a short workweek after coming back from Mexico last Tuesday night… it’s so hard to transition from paradise back into the real life, isn’t it? Adam and I spent three blissful days at the One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, and literally did nothing but take long beach walks, lay by the pool […]
