Happy New Year, my friends. Whether you were out on the town or snuggled under blankets at home, I hope you welcomed in 2016 with loved ones and good vibes! Part of me is sad to say au revoir to another year, but another part of me is more than ready for what 2016 has…

Christmas 2015
The post-holiday blues are hitting me HARD today! Despite putting up our tree and decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving and trying to enjoy as many holiday activities as possible, it just hasn’t felt like Christmas. Nevertheless, even with the lack of relaxation and the warm, humid weather, we enjoyed a nice family Christmas. It was especially exciting…
Taking a break this Christmas…
Hey friends! I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be away from the blog for the next week or two. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a break or not, but when my laptop refused to turn on this past Sunday as I was preparing to edit some drafts,…
Holiday Gift Guide for Her
Hello, hello. I’m comin’ at y’all late today. Yesterday I shared my holiday gift guide for men—and now it’s time for the ladies. I speak only for myself, but I think we women are much easier to shop for. Most of us really aren’t that picky—you can never go wrong with jewelry, clothing is always…
Holiday Gift Guide for Him
Hi friends! This year my husband and I are not focusing much on gifts, but I still think it’s fun to “window shop” (screen shop?) and put together wish lists and what not. Or maybe I’m just a bandwagoner. Anyway, since the men in my life are SO TOUGH to buy for (I’m looking at…
How To Navigate (& Enjoy!) The Holidays
Every year, I come across dozens of tips and how-to guides on how to “eat clean” or “stay on track” during the holidays or “how to avoid the holiday blues,” which I shared a couple years back. Because, obviously, the holidays are supposed to be guilt-inducing and panic-stirring instead of a reminder to be grateful,…
Christmas "Bucket List"
No way. No way can it already be December! I feel like I was just counting down the weeks until Thanksgiving dinner, but here we are, 25 days from Christmas! Speaking of, how was your Thanksgiving? Ours was full of good food and was fairly quiet (we got our tree on Friday and Mark decorated Saturday!),…
Happy Thanksgiving
HAPPY TURKEY DAY. I hope all of you American readers are surrounded by family and friends, good wine, and an epic spread of delicious food. As you laugh around the table, inevitably eat too much, and test the stretch-factor of your “Thanksgiving pants,” please take time to share gratitude for the blessings in your lives…
Fall "Bucket List"
I am completely over summer. It’s been hellishly hot ALL summer long. We had a few cold snaps during our absurdly short spring, and then, BAAM! We were hit with ~90 degree temperatures in late May that haven’t let up since (well, last week we did have some pleasantly cooler mornings—which I savored). Unless you’re…
My Summer Foodie Bucket List
Summers down South are pretty brutal, but there’s one thing we will celebrate no matter how high the humidity climbs or how many hurricanes are churning in the Gulf: food. We simply adore food. We love food so much, that while lunching with friends, our conversation is likely centered on that epic brunch we enjoyed…
