Cultivating gratitude does indeed beget more gratitude. But I also recognize that I am so, so lucky to have so much goodness in my life. Sometimes I take this list too seriously, and put it off when I could just get to the, er, (bullet) point.
Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad of all time. Buy his latest book here. All of last weekend was great, from volleyball and yoga to south Austin bars to climbing and swimming at the Greenbelt to Austin Winery and family dinner, plus floating in my cowboy pool and reading in my hammock. It was…
Talented artists, all. At a range of price points, you can support independent female artists (or curator) who I happen to know and love. Earthy: The Pointed Arrow / @thepointedarrow I absolutely adore Lily’s sense of style (mentioned here before), and her mountain boho aesthetic calls to me. I’m particularly enamored with the pieces that…
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
I am crying with laughter at this new company I just discovered (ok, discovered isn’t exactly right, as the not-unattractive founder emailed* me … so here we are). The ATX Pinery features screenprinted tees with silly/fun pineapple designs—livin’ la pura piña vida, if you will. I love it because it’s hilarious, they love pineapple puns—PINEAPPLE PUNS,…

I just have to say … I like guys. Like, not one in particular, but I like to date guys. I have crushes on guys. Good, that’s settled. I also like football. I also like trying out Fitwall with my girls (but I still like to date dudes). I also like my unstainable white dress…
There was a moment during my Tahoe trip last weekend for the Fourth of July when Matt, who is basically acting Dad as he was the weekend planner and former Tahoe resident, said, “When we’re on a trip together, we’re family. You take care of your family.” The context doesn’t matter, the point was that us…
I broke my toe. I discovered that I have a dearth of shoes made for broken toes. I had to buy new flat sandals. I compiled the best options. I’m against flip-flops because of this video; but Sperrys but Roxy slip-ons have generally replaced my flippy-floppys, so when it came down to looking in my…
Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I write each week to express my appreciation for all of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! Patio parties, friend swaps, and a little coding success made for a great…
