Is it any wonder why all I want to do when I come home to Austin is hang out at my parents’ house? Raw milk lattes all day followed by great wine, food, and laughs all night. So grateful for this place I can call home, with parents I love.
I have recommended many hairstylists over the years, and perhaps that’s because my tastes have changed as my tastes have changed. Over the holidays in Austin, my family got to talking (read: gushing) about Victor, who cuts my dad’s hair and my brother’s hair and my cousin’s hair and all these other people’s hairs. They all…
My mom tells the following story about me that illustrates perfectly my gratitude for this week. Living in Austin, they brought me and my brother to Barton Springs pool for the first time. I ran up to the railings that overlook the natural wonder (pictured in case you haven’t seen it for yourself but NONE of…
This Friday, I feel grateful for Denali. You knew that was coming. But lately I’ve had this irrational fear that she’s going to die and LEAVE ME and I COULDN’T POSSIBLY HANDLE THAT. This dawg has been with me through 10 homes in 3 states in the past 8 years. She’s been through hot Texas summers,…

If you know me pretty well, you may laugh: I didn’t used to think I had wanderlust. Despite studying abroad in Madrid and transferring schools, I didn’t really realize how much I loved change and loved to travel until … I set it as a goal for the last year to travel less, to enjoy…
Fabulous French bistro laV is opening today! I love, love, love the Aspen-Austin connection, which I wrote about here. One of my girlfriends was lucky enough to attend all of the pre-pre opening festivities a couple of weeks ago. She scoped it out for all of us, and had this to report: “The ambiance is…
