Last week Denisse and I popped into Pottery Barn at the Biltmore and, as usual, I found myself completely drawn in by their table displays. They just know how to make everything feel layered, thoughtful, and beautiful. But what really made me pause this time wasn’t a full tablescape—it was the glassware. I recently picked […]
Today I’m sharing a few recent Amazon purchases that are small, but pack a surprisingly big punch. None are particularly glamorous, but every single one has made daily routines just a little bit easier—which, in my book, is always worth it.

This weekend was one for the books. Three completely different celebrations—and somehow, each one felt equally meaningful. From a polished, glam anniversary at All About Me Medical Aesthetics to a lively 40th birthday party at Andrew Z Diamonds and a relaxed, casual brunch cruise on Lake Pleasant – every event had its own personality. But […]
Four days in Palm Springs with my sisters turned out to be the perfect mix of sunshine, sightseeing, and a few unexpected surprises (including a sunrise at 8,500 feet and a late-night rocket launch!). If you caught my Palm Springs Packing List post, you already know I had a sisters’ trip planned and what I […]
Well, the 107° weather seems to be behind us for now—praise the Lord. And this beautiful spring weather lends itself perfectly to last-minute, relaxed, and casual hosting. Recently, we hosted tacos and a few rounds of Flip 7 on an early evening weeknight. And even more last-minute, after a morning walk and a few chores, […]
My sisters and I are celebrating Christmas this Easter. What? You might ask. Instead of exchanging gifts this year, we decided to plan a sisters trip—and it just so happens to fall on Easter weekend. We’re heading to Palm Springs, and I couldn’t be more excited. Since it’s a little over a four-hour drive for […]
I always love hearing what people are actually using and loving at home—so I thought I’d share a few recent purchases that have truly been worth it. These are the kinds of things that either make everyday life easier… or simply make things feel a little prettier around here. And honestly, I can’t keep these […]
There’s something about a spring weekend that calls for a fresh, easy lunch and a little extra time to sit and read. Today I’m sharing a simple crispy chicken salad with homemade ranch, along with a few recent reads that were worth the time. Crispy Chicken Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing Why You’ll Love This […]
Just for you, I’m going to put a very positive spin on our weekend—because it really was a good one.Except for… well, you know. The 107° heat. In March. 😳 I guess that’s spring in Arizona. I know people all over the U.S. are dealing with wild weather right now, some of it quite serious, […]
Spring arrived early here in the desert this year, and it had us wanting to spend as much time outdoors as possible. But as much as I loved the patio furniture we had purchased over the past couple of years, it just didn’t hold up to our harsh climate and was starting to look a […]
