Around here, nothing’s more exciting than getting our hands on a new tech gadget, so when the Sprout by HP arrived on our office doorstep, we couldn’t unpack the thing fast enough. We’d read all about the revolutionary computer’s capabilities and seen lots of other creations by browsing the #sproutbyhp hashtag, but actually getting to use it […]
Okay guys, it’s go-time: I’m having a baby in just over 2 weeks, and the nursery is officially ready to welcome a boy! It seems surreal that we’re so close, but we’re also so excited about his arrival that I’d honestly be thrilled if I went into labor today. I can’t wait to meet this new little […]
This might sound crazy to some of you, but I’m one of those people who loves grocery shopping. There’s almost no way I’d rather spend an afternoon than perusing the produce, chatting with the guys in the fish market, studying wine labels, and choosing a new cheese to sample that night.

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?

I’ve been sneaking little peeks here and there of our work-in-progress upstairs spaces, and I’m so excited to show y’all the first of the finished rooms!

[…]
photographed by natalie seeboth Best friends and business partners Anna Boyer and Kate Wyman have a lot in common — including one set of grandparents! This sweetly Southern pair of first cousins opened their adorable print shop, Grove Street Press, in the warehouse district of New Orleans three years ago. But their friendship spans a […]
In the first three months of this journey, the weight vanished rather quickly. I say quickly because most cannot fathom a 50 lb weight loss in 3 months. For some of you, that’s more than a third of your body weight. For me, it was only a drop in the bucket. No surprise here — […]
photographed by kate lesueur There’s a saying going around Austin right now that “100 people move here every single day.” While we haven’t exactly taken the time to fact-check that stat, it certainly feels true, and Forbes magazine has just named Austin the 2nd fastest growing city in America. With so many talented young people […]

I could not be more excited to share a new house project we’ve been working on for the last few months — and we’re kicking it off today! I’ve been working with the amazing team at RH Baby & Child on some major updates to our upstairs space, and I’ll be chronicling the process over the […]
