Weekend Notes
Morning! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. These last couple days have been our first days of sunshine in a long time, so yesterday involved sitting on multiple restaurant patios: first with Adam and Phoebe devouring breakfast tacos, then later with my friend Erika, catching up over green juices at Whole Foods. Hoping […]
Sticking to Your Plan
When I first embarked on this journey, my only real goal was to simply get healthy. I didn’t set a lot of rules around the number of days I should exercise or amount of vegetables to consume. My energy was spent on finding workouts that I liked, cleaning up my diet and making sure I was having […]
Your Snowed-In Workout Plan
When it comes to working out, I’m a big believer in consistency: I feel so much better when I get moving and do something active every single day, even if it’s small like taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood or running around the yard with Phoebe. Working these simple forms of exercise into normal life […]
Weekend Notes
Is everyone staying cozy and warm this weekend? It seems like around this time every year, I start to dream of sunshine, bare feet, and outdoor dinner parties… which is why these lovely photos by Alana Paterson of a cold-weather picnic are especially appealing today (click through the entire inspiring spread over on the Snowpeak site.)

13 ways to up your financial game
featured image from the sartorialist When we reconvened in the office for the new year, we realized that almost everyone on our team had some sort of financial resolution: to start saving, to start investing, or to simply start paying more attention to our monthly spending. We decided to look for an expert — someone […]
Pregnancy Skincare 101
It’s one of the “joys” of pregnancy: crazy hormones send your skin into a tailspin of dryness, acne, or redness, but there’s such a dearth of research out there about what treatments are safe to use during pregnancy that launching any kind of new product regimen can be scary. Now that I’m on my second go round, […]
Christine & Steven Visneau
For fashion stylist and designer Christine Visneau and her husband, photographer Steven Visneau, work is life and life is work. They’ve woven their creative endeavors so seamlessly into the happy life they share with their two daughters in Dallas that they’re almost one in the same, and constant collaboration is their default. And as co-creators […]
Weekend Notes
Did you all have a good Christmas week? I’ve got to say that Phoebe’s total obsession with Santa this year made it extra fun. I wish you could have seen her face when she discovered that he’d brought her a train set and a dollhouse just like she’d asked him. A miracle! Also, can’t believe […]
How to Have a Cozy Night In
After all my talk this past weekend of making time to lounge around during the holidays, thought it’d be fun to break down exactly what’s needed for the perfect cozy night in. It may seem like relaxing would be an intuitive skill, but with today’s constant barrage of texts, emails, and our general inability to slow down, […]
Your Guide to a Healthy Holiday
Like many of you, I’m dashing through this week: tying up loose ends at work, finishing up holiday shopping and making my rounds at all the holiday parties. Add in running, bike rides and squeezing in every pilates class I can, and essentially every second of every day is spoken for until I get to […]
How to Have a Stress-Free Holiday
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but with the endless to-do lists, maxed-out bank account, and full-to-the-brim calendar, it can also be the most stressful. Here on the blog, we talk a lot about how to make the holidays beautiful and delicious, but I also didn’t want the season to slip […]
Weekend Notes
In the past 5 days, I’ve been in Virginia, Atlanta, and Dallas… and today I’m headed back to Austin to luxuriate in several weeks of being at home, enjoying the holidays with family, finally wrapping all my gifts, catching up with girl friends who I’ve totally neglected during my book tour, and probably baking one […]
A Rockette
Ask any one of the 120 Rockettes how her dance career began, and there’a a good chance you’ll get an answer to the tune of: My parents enrolled me in ballet when I was 3 years old. Combine that early introduction to the sport with an annual family tradition that involves cozying up on the couch Thanksgiving morning to watch the […]
Weekend Notes
I admit that I’m already on my second cup of coffee and still moving a bit slower after a late-night holiday party at a friend’s house last night — thank goodness for another day of the weekend, with time to lay around, watch a Christmas movie, and finally finish getting all my holiday cards ready […]
