“There’s not much better than a baby on a beach, is there?” It was one of those honest observations you make when you’re entirely comfortable with your significant other. We were lying underneath a palapa in Mexico, watching a mother lead her child along the shore. The toddler was experiencing the sea for the first time […]
If there’s one thing I took away from my recent trip to Tulum, it’s a newfound love for mezcal: the agave-based liquor is like the cool older cousin of tequila. It’s a strong, smokey, and complex liquid, perfect as a base for creative cocktails. There are tons of mezcal makers in Mexico, but my girl gang […]
THE restaurant in Tulum shares one delicious secret.
Thank goodness for a short workweek after coming back from Mexico last Tuesday night… it’s so hard to transition from paradise back into the real life, isn’t it? Adam and I spent three blissful days at the One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, and literally did nothing but take long beach walks, lay by the pool […]
Picking up a copy of Ambrosia feels like ordering dessert. The magazine (along with it’s sister publication Drift) is truly a collectible work of art — gorgeous travel photography and writing, laid out minimally on the most touchable matte paper. It’s a luxurious treat for the eyes and soul. So when we found out that […]
Mornin’, glories! This weekend has been cloudy skies with the threat of thunderstorms, so we’ve been keeping things low-key at home with the fam — tea parties, puzzles, and trying to keep up with Henry (the baby gates that we took down when Phoebe turned 3 just went back up!) I made these for dinner last night […]
Call it a weakness, but we’ve definitely been known to browse real estate that’s way out of our price range. That’s why vacation rental sites like HomeAway are our new jam: with a group of ten or so friends, our fantasy home dreams can now come true (at least for a weekend). But shopping short-term […]
I’m all for a tropical getaway, but with the longest to-do list I’ve ever had and a major move on the horizon, my dream vacation is going to have to wait awhile. Until then, I’m living vicariously through friends’ vacation selfies while sipping on one of these tropical cocktails…because nothing screams “vacation” better than a salt-rimmed glass or […]
Like it or not, the stereotypical American tourist isn’t pretty: She mindlessly consumes all-inclusive drinks, overpacks, and has a reputation for expecting everyone around her to speak English. Many of us find ourselves herded onto crowded tour buses, spending a few days binging on food and drink with other tourists, and then being bustled home […]
Here in Austin, we know how to throw one heck of a Cinco de Mayo party. I mean, the margarita is practically our official drink, and tacos might as well be our city mascot, so we get in some good practice on the other 364 days of the year. I always embrace the challenge of […]
We’ve all been there — bickering in the back seat of a cab on a trip that should have been fun. Traveling can be stressful, and nothing can test the mettle of a relationship quite like a series of delayed flights. Even when things are functioning smoothly at home, nothing is guaranteed out there on […]
Is this the dreamiest town in Mexico?
