Happy weekend, y’all! It’s been a glorious low-key weekend to cap off the end of a crazy two weeks (#SXSW). I hosted a baby shower for two of my pregnant pals yesterday — just a small group of really good friends, breakfast tacos, mimosas, and lots of adorable baby gifts. Oh, and Adam and I got bikes!! […]
Why does the color yellow get such a bad rap? Most of us don’t think we have the right complexion to wear it, and when it comes to designing a table, well, even we’ll admit it’s never the first (or third) hue we turn to. Even in our color-driven Monochromatic Monday series, yellow appears least frequently of all. […]
Remember the days of having a “real” spring break? (All you students out there: enjoy it while it lasts.) A blissful week with no responsibilities, preferably spent on a beach with stacks of magazines and friends who have nothing on the agenda besides vegging out. I decided to reclaim it this year: by the time this […]
When Natasha Lawler admitted to us that friends from all over the US fly in to attend her annual Saint Patrick’s Day party, I have to admit that even we were a bit skeptical. We love a blowout as much as the next person, but seriously, who travels across the country for an event that’s […]
If you’re scrambling to get your act together for this week’s big holiday meal, just imagine this: what if you were hosting that meal in a remote location? And no, we’re not talking the park down the street. We’re talking another continent. That’s just what Sasha Wilkins did last week, as she planned and hosted […]
Autumn feels like a fitting time of year to reconnect with faraway friends, as well as the people who live right in our own neighborhoods. When I was growing up, my parents were always friends with our neighbors — we’d have dinner parties, leave baked goods on each other’s doorsteps, and when I was old enough […]
What do my mom’s salmon chraimeh, Camille’s mom’s almond bread and Morgan’s mom’s chicken parm all have in common? Besides for the fact that they’re delicious beyond belief, each one is the kind of dish that can only be learned firsthand. In their cases, a written recipe in a book doesn’t compare to standing beside the cook herself and hearing […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock, school is officially in session! And whether you have kids or not, ’tis the season for simple healthy snacks that will give you (and your dependents) the energy to go from work or school to whatever activities the evening may hold. We loved partnering with Patricia’s Table […]
We’re all familiar with the old adage that soup is good medicine, but lately it seems that broth, specifically bone broth, is getting all the attention. You can’t read the NY Times or turn on NPR or the television without hearing a story touting bone broth’s miraculous healing powers for skin, nails, hair and overall […]
We’ve all seen the Turkish towels that seem to be on the shelves of nearly every major retailer. And if I’m being honest, until recently I didn’t see what the fuss was about… sure, they look pretty, but how can you call something a towel when it’s paper thin and hardly absorbent? Well, since getting my hands on […]
Happy Easter, friends! Hope you’re all having a lovely day filled with sweet things and sunshine. We’re spending the day with our families, and since Phoebe’s still the only grandchild on both sides (for 6 more weeks!), it’ll be all about her solo egg hunts. Which she doesn’t mind a bit, since it means she […]
