I’ve often scoffed at the phrase, “I’m going on a juice cleanse.” Mostly because those who were giving it a go were doing so as penance for an indulgent weekend or a fast solution to a larger problem. While there is something to be said for the need to reset the mind — or despite my disdain […]

Hope everyone’s having a lovely Valentine’s weekend and finding some fun little ways to indulge. We had a great “date night” at home last night — grilled pizzas and chocolate soufflés on the back patio (the weather was insanely gorgeous) followed by Jake Gyllenhaal’s flick Nightcrawler (not romantic, but still awesome.) Phoebe’s also fully embraced the holiday, and […]

Adam and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last June, and one thing I’ve learned over the years is the importance of showing little acts of romance — or even grander gestures once in awhile! It’s easy to become so comfortable with the person you wake up with each morning that you can forget to prioritize showing […]

Happy first day of February! It’s been grey and rainy here this weekend, and we’ve combatted the dreary weather with movies in front of the fireplace, a dutch baby pancake feast, and most of all, dreaming of our little getaway that’s coming up this week. Adam and I are taking off for a babymoon in […]

Morning! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. These last couple days have been our first days of sunshine in a long time, so yesterday involved sitting on multiple restaurant patios: first with Adam and Phoebe devouring breakfast tacos, then later with my friend Erika, catching up over green juices at Whole Foods. Hoping […]

When it comes to working out, I’m a big believer in consistency: I feel so much better when I get moving and do something active every single day, even if it’s small like taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood or running around the yard with Phoebe. Working these simple forms of exercise into normal life […]

Is everyone staying cozy and warm this weekend? It seems like around this time every year, I start to dream of sunshine, bare feet, and outdoor dinner parties… which is why these lovely photos by Alana Paterson of a cold-weather picnic are especially appealing today (click through the entire inspiring spread over on the Snowpeak site.)
