Not only are they on-theme (hello, bunny food!) but sweet spring carrots show off the bounty of the season and have so much natural flavor that they don’t even need to be messed […]
Click here for more recipes from our southern spring dinner party! For a casual weekend dinner party, I always serve food family style. There’s nothing like having guests pass around abundant platters of food to get them mingling and create a communal experience. photography by Kristen Kilpatrick SaveSave SaveSaveSaveSave SaveSave
I’ve always had visions of waking up on a Saturday morning and baking a rustic loaf of bread to enjoy all weekend long. For me, it feels like the essence of hygge… but a couple things stood in my way. First, the terminology of breadmaking (ie. yeast and rising and kneading and proofing) felt super intimidating. Second, […]
Our friend Chelsea of Go Forth Creative is one of the most talented gals I’ve ever met. The design work she creates for clients is jaw-droppingly beautiful, and her personal projects are equally inspiring. When Chelsea started printing and posting these “Give A Nice Note” fliers last year, the first thing I thought was, “Why […]
My friend Walter makes the best bread I’ve ever tasted. He grows the yeast, mills the flour, and combines it all with salt and water to create a slow-fermented sourdough that truly doesn’t belong in the same category as the pre-sliced quick breads found in grocery stores.

We all know that it’s never too soon to start saving for retirement, but is it premature to start planning my post-retirement career now?

Today we shared my home tour on the blog, and though truly every piece of furniture in the apartment comes with a story, this project was too good not to share. I scored this leather sling chair on Craigslist a couple years ago — cool right? The leather was worn when I bought it, but it […]
2017, you’ve been a peach. While not always easy, it’s been a year filled with both highs and lows, joy and sadness, challenges and life lessons. Whether your leaving 2017 on a personal high, thankful for the last twelve months of living life to the fullest, or anxious to cross the finish line, looking forward […]

Is anybody else craving simplicity this holiday season? Maybe it’s the fact that I’m coming off of a week of two turkeys, three pies and more overindulgence than I’m willing to admit, but this week, I’m just looking to simplify. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as pumped for the holidays as the next gal — […]
Have you ever decorated a corner of your home just like a Pinterest board, only to find that in the end it was… missing something? I spoke with Jeanine Hays of the design duo AphroChic about this, and while she admits that Pinterest is wonderful for inspiration, home is all about who we are. “In a […]
