Morning, friends! Have to admit that I’m dragging a bit after a very late night celebrating a friend’s birthday — and hoping that this strong cup of coffee and a power walk around the neighborhood will help me rally and make the most of this gorgeous sunny Sunday. Do y’all feel like it’s a little […]
Eggplants are one of my favorite things about end of summer produce — I always buy way too many at the store, and then… don’t really know what to do with them. That was before I discovered THIS incredible stuff-and-roast technique, shown in the video above. It’s the perfect party recipe because everyone can build their […]
Happy holiday weekend! Hope you’re enjoying every minute of it and soaking up the last bits of summer before we embrace fall in all its glory. Around here, we’ve been swimming like crazy, hanging with my brother who’s visiting from St. Louis, grilling fajitas and corn on the cob, walking around the city, and I […]
It always happens around September 1st, just like clockwork: I’m relishing the warm weather and wishing that summer would never end, when BAM! I feel a cool breeze and leaf through the September issues of all my mags, and suddenly I’m as obsessed with fall as this guy. Without a doubt, my favorite thing about this […]
When I first discovered Kristine Vejar’s book The Modern Natural Dyer, I fell in love with the bright colors, amazing textures, and the fact that natural dyeing was one of the few art projects I had yet to try. But after reading a few of her tutorials, I realized natural dyeing involves a lot of […]
We can’t ignore the fact that summer is coming to an end, so I’m taking every opportunity to enjoy it before it’s gone. Cooking dinner while it’s still light out, eating meals outside, New Jersey tomatoes. I’m also stocking up – literally and figuratively – for the winter by eating those perfect summer tomatoes on anything and […]
Confession: I’m really happy that we live in an age when we can get almost everything delivered at the tap of a smart phone button. As much as I actually enjoy grocery shopping (really I do), my current schedule makes leisurely trips to the market a thing of the past, and the ability to have my […]
Do y’all know how to make those adorable coconut bowls that have been all over Pinterest this summer? I didn’t, though I’ve definitely been guilty of bringing home a couple of coconuts from the grocery store, and then realizing that I had no idea what to do with them besides bust out a hammer. #coconutfail. In today’s video, […]
Surely there must be some mistake. The calendar’s saying that it’s mid-August, but that would mean that summer’s coming to a close… and that couldn’t possibly be true, because it just started. Wait, didn’t it? Okay, maybe I’m in extreme denial (and yes, you have permission to join me in a few more moments of summertime bliss […]
Confession: I’ve never understood sweets for breakfast. Pancakes? Donuts? Cinnamon rolls? How are those not considered desserts?! Now now, before you write me off, you have to understand that my judgy palette is nothing more than a product of my childhood. Raised in a culture that takes its breakfasts very seriously, I can’t help but feel a […]
Morning, y’all! Hope everyone’s had a lovely weekend so far. This has been the first weekend we’ve been at home in almost a month, so it feels especially blissful to just hang out with nothing on the agenda besides jumping in the pool and grilling dinner. We threw Phoebe a fourth birthday party with a […]
Hey y’all, wanted to pop in with a fun little Pinterest update: in celebration of topping 100k followers, we decided to give our boards a little refresh and reorg, and things are looking pretty fab over there (if I do say so myself.) You guys know how much I love streamlining, so it was fun to […]
