On My Nightstand
For me, summertime and books go hand-in-hand.

This month, I’m cooking (and eating) from a fab new cookbook that […]
Live Kindly :: Travel Without Sabotaging Your Diet
There’s an old adage that goes, “Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail.” And while that may sound a little harsh (because let’s face it, sometimes life happens), there is some merit to that.

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 […]

Downton I adore you, but my first love on PBS will always be Antiques Roadshow.

With the Roadshow stopping in Austin this year to […]

She moved to NYC after college and landed her first job […]
Three Simple Summer Recipes
