Madeleines may have found their place in history thanks to Proust, but these buttery scalloped cakes are undoubtedly delicious enough to stand on their own, literary references aside. I’ve loved them for years, and can’t believe I actually had to purchase a madeleine pan to make these at home for the first time ever. The […]
Stepping into today’s colorful abode is at once breathtaking, inspiring, and like a big warm hug that invites you to sit down and stay awhile. That last part is no doubt due to the warmth of its owner, auburn-haired beauty, mother of 3, and talented Austin-based interior designer, Sarah Wittenbraker. Yep, Sarah would be easy to hate […]
When crafting a cocktail, sometimes a slight departure from a classic is the best way to ensure you will love your (semi!) original creation.

It’s not that I’ve never wanted to color my hair: in junior high, I fantasized about Gwen Stefani’s platinum blond, and I’ve had more than one episode of thinking about going really dark and dramatic. But the color I’ve tossed around most consistently through the years is adding streaky golden highlights […]

With that in mind, we knew we could count on the creative bunch to show us how to host a team-building gathering that’s anything but ice-breakers and trust falls. Their idea […]

This weekend I’m in freezing New York City with my mom celebrating her 60th birthday. It’s really awesome to be here together — my mom’s first trip to NYC! — going to museums, Broadway, eating so much amazing food, and savoring this all-too-rare time with just the two of us. Hope you’re all having a lovely […]
