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.) Later, Adam and I stole away for a […]
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’ […]

Weekend Notes
What a week! I always forget how busy the holiday season gets, until December 1st arrives and suddenly it feels like someone yelled “on your mark, get set, go!” Of course, I know that busyness is partially within my own control – I choose how many thing I say “yes” to and often overcommit around […]
11 Yoga Moves to Improve Digestion

Weekend Notes
It’s Thanksgiving week, y’all! Suddenly it feels like the holidays are in the air (and thank goodness – the temps plunged below 70 yesterday here in Austin and I finally got to bust out a sweater!) We hosted a dinner party + game night for friends on Friday, and the rest of the weekend […]
Why Talking About Your Mistakes Could Be Your Smartest Career Move
When I was 14, I marched into the house with my report card, tossed it in front of my mom, and waited for her to gasp and the column of perfect grades: A, A, A, A, A, A. But after a silent speed read, my mom glanced up and said: “Hey Lauren, this is great! But […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, friends. It’s been an emotional roller-coaster week (for us all), so it’s felt especially good spending a low-key weekend at home doing lots of cooking, organizing, reading, and hanging with the kids. Last night I tried this new recipe which I’ve decided to adopt as my new signature chicken dish, and as Adam and I talked and […]
8 Yoga Moves for Runners
*photography by Molly Winters Running outdoors has been a love of mine since I was a teenager, and it’s actually through running and my search for more flexibility and peace of mind that I found my way to a consistent yoga practice over 15 years ago. After all this time, I still find running to […]
Weekend Notes (and Win a Trip to Paris!)
Happy weekend, friends! Hope y’all are all enjoying that extra hour of sleep this morning. Phoebe came downstairs and climbed under the covers with us at 6:15am, but when I remembered that I’d actually gotten a full night’s sleep thanks to Daylight Savings, I hopped out of bed and was glad to get an early start […]
3 Ways To Increase Your Emotional Intelligence (And Why It Matters)
First things first: let’s talk about what emotional intelligence actually is. Because we’re all kind of wondering. On the simplest level, “emotional intelligence” starts with the ability to read the room. It’s a person’s innate sense of what’s going on beneath surface-level dialogues, and how the people around them actually feel about the situation at hand. […]
Weekend Notes
Happy Halloween weekend, y’all! So far, ours has been very full of frightful festivities: front porch decorating, last-minute costumes, and a few more cocktails than usual (and I may have downed two handfuls of candy corn at 1am last night. ugh.) Between all the revelry, I did have time to round up lots of links for you this […]
Jessica and Gary Wu
“Meet cutes” don’t get much cuter than the story of restaurant owners Gary and Jessica P. Wu. The two were living in New York when a rainy day (and a little bit of fate) brought them together at the ACE Hotel. We met up with the couple at their new restaurant General Tso’Boy at the Domain Northside to […]
