When Adam and I were dating, we spent our first Valentine’s Day together around the little dining table in my apartment. We were already convinced that we’d rather spend any romantic occasion with just the two of us at home instead of an overcrowded restaurant (a tradition that still holds true today). I remember making […]
Fall food obsession has hit me hard. Warm spices, hot apple cider, pumpkin lattes (guilty), soup and grilled cheese — you name it, it’s on the list. Unfortunately, Texas weather hasn’t quite caught up with my cravings for cozy cuisine. Most mornings, I find myself sorting through my closet, sadly pushing aside my sweaters and […]
Welcome to the season of colorful leaves and scents of cinnamon wafting from the kitchen. For my latest seasonal celebration with Target, I invited my coworker besties to join me for a cozy Friendsgiving meal around the table. This fall celebration is dripping in rich jewel tones, warm metallics, and organic elements like wood, berries, […]
While I’m not totally freaked out by the idea of making pie from scratch (Callie helped demystify it here and showed us how to decorate it here), let’s just say that it still feels like a big production for me. One that I’d attempt when I have a long, lazy Sunday afternoon ahead of me, or maybe for […]
Fall is finally upon us! After one very long, hot summer, I can’t help but feel immense joy at the thought of the cozy sweater-wearing months ahead of us. I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the case last year and the year before that, too, but somehow, each year the anticipation and excitement […]
Cities like New York and Los Angeles are filled with stylish creatives, but it takes a certain perspective to leave the fast pace of the cities behind for considerably quieter Rhode Island. That’s exactly what Jess Ann Kirby and her boyfriend Craig did after five years of bouncing back and forth between those two cities. […]
This may not be a very popular opinion – but I haven’t been into recipes lately. With summer coming to an end, the calendar has filled up and my to-do list has nearly doubled in length, meaning the amount of time that I have to commit to making and trying fun recipes has been almost […]
I’m a little late to the game, but I stayed in my first vacation rentals earlier this year, and it feels like a whole new world of travel has opened up to me. Especially when traveling with friends and kids, the ability to spread out in different rooms, hang out in our own outdoor space, and […]
Keepin’ it real zen.
Almost every surface in Samantha Heligman and Eliana Bernard’s Austin home is covered with their ceramic creations — vases, trays, plates, drink ware — you name it, they’ve made it. I met up with the studio mates turned roommates for brunch, and the girls traded in their ceramic tools for kitchen tools as they whipped […]
We learned how to make this delicious vegan dessert when Alison Cayne of Haven’s Kitchen came to town and taught us a cooking class (see the full story here). Her poached peaches and coconut whipped cream make for the perfect summertime dessert! Discover more of Alison’s fun recipes in her new book The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School. […]
When we heard that Alison Cayne of Haven’s Kitchen was going to be in town promoting her new book, we couldn’t wait to meet her in person. So when she reached out to see if we might be interested in getting together for a quick cooking class, the answer was an obvious yes. We wanted to host the […]
