We talk quite a bit around here about cleaning up our social media habits in order to be more present, healthy, and not fall prey to the rabbit hole of the endless scroll. But during a recent 48-hour “digital detox” (more on that soon), I realized how much of my mental energy is also consumed […]
Morning, friends! Hope y’all are having a wonderful weekend. Ours has been full of lazy hours by the pool with the kids, running errands around town, and sunset rosé with a few good friends. In other words, it’s feeling like summer, and I couldn’t be happier about it. This Mother’s Day is extra special in […]
Um, can we sit with y’all?
Editor’s note: It’s no secret that I’m a superfan of the blog The House That Lars Built. My friend Brittany, the founder and mastermind behind it, is truly one of the most talented creatives I’ve ever met, and well, she’s also just a delightful human. For that reason, today I’m thrilled to share an excerpted […]
There’s really only one rule for a great Mother’s Day: whatever you do, it should be relaxing. This year we’ve been thinking a lot about self-care, and fun little relaxation rituals you can perform in your own home. That lead us to the idea for this year’s Mother’s Day get together — a mother/daughter spa-inspired […]

With a delicate combination of patina, Palo Santo, and good company, this gathering had a timeless and unforgettable feeling to it. As Cinco de Mayo approaches, so does the question, what (or where) are we going to […]

I’m one of those weird people who read cookbooks like novels; I can stay up into the night earmarking pages of recipes I want to try and planning imaginary party menus around them. Ever since I got my hands on the beautiful new cookbook by my friend Athena Calderone, founder of lifestyle site EyeSwoon, it’s […]
Like most everyone on the planet, I’m a major hummus fan, and usually the packaged kind from the grocery store will satisfy all my pita chip dipping needs just fine. But on set at a photo shoot last week, Berty, the chef behind Hummus Among Us, blended up his homemade signature hummus recipe then topped it […]
in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick You guys know I love a good salad almost as much as I love a good taco, and when the delicious flavors of those two combine, I’m basically in heaven. This recipe was born from one of those typical summer moments when I accidentally came home from […]
Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]
If there’s one culinary lesson I learned from our trip to Tuscany, it’s that the simplest dishes are often the best. Of course, when you’re working with a tiny ingredient list, a recipe is only as good as the quality of those ingredients, so the time to make this spaghetti dinner is when tomatoes are practically […]
