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 […]
You know you’re doing something right when people want to use your paper gift-wrapping creation as a real life handbag. And who am I to tell them they can’t? While I certainly agree that these envelope-inspired designs are pretty enough to pair with a cocktail dress and sparkly heels, I can’t guarantee they’d hold up to more than two […]
If you asked Instagram, 2016 could have been the year of the cheese board. And is it any surprise? Few culinary creations are as photogenic as a big wood cutting board brimming with colorful cheeses, fruits, meats (and lots more if you get creative), and I’ve got to admit, it’s a trend I don’t think I’ll get […]

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 […]
The other day, my morning spin instructor played that great Alicia Keys song, Girl on Fire, and as I sweated it out and thought about some of the powerful women I knew, Candice Kumai came to mind. I’ve know this bestselling author, chef, contributor to E! News and the Today show (among others) over the […]

Finally, this week, Eric and I get […]
One Gun Ranch lives up to the legend.

This sequence is designed to encourage + support healthy […]
Maggie Goen Buckley is one of those people with truly enviable taste. Every time I’m lucky enough to be invited into her home, I leave feeling inspired to make my own space more fun. (You may remember Maggie and Patrick’s unbelievable wedding weekend in San Miguel I wrote about last year.) That said, I was beyond excited […]
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 […]
