• Cheese and bacon strata

    Football is kind of a big deal around here. Between my need to watch Georgia games and Toby’s desire to watch every other football game ever played… it can get a little excessive. And while I’m on board with lot of football on TV, I wasn’t super excited when I realized that moving to the […]

  • Candied bacon

    It has been far, far too long since I’ve posted a recipe here. I’m sorry, and I’m going to make it up to you, starting today. I just hope you like bacon. Unlike the entire Internet, I am actually not head-over-heels for bacon. I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s cool. But, as you might imagine, […]

  • One skirt, 12 ways

    Packing for a long trip is a challenge. You don’t want your bag to weigh 100 pounds, but if you’re like me, you also don’t want to have to wear the same outfit three times in a week. That’s where the wardrobe workhorses come in: dark jeans, nude heels, leopard flats, a navy blazer. But […]

  • Weekend in Austin

    One nice thing about being in Texas for so long was that I got to visit Austin for the first time. I didn’t get to try, taste and visit everything, but I did manage to eat quite a bit of delicious food and do some fun stuff. My first stop? Round Rock Donuts. You can […]

  • Awkward selfies, part 2

    I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy.  But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]

  • Bunheads goodbye video

    Hey y’all. I’m still in Killeen, and it is super depressing and exhausting. However, yesterday I saw this Bunheads goodbye dance video, and it made me happy. Well, actually kinda sad, in that Bunheads has been canceled, but happy because of the dancing. So, I want you to watch it, too. Also, watch this video […]

  • Awkward selfies, part 1

    Since I’ve been staying in a hotel by myself and working long hours, I haven’t really had a chance to take good photos of my outfits. But I did want to share a few pictures I took to give you an idea of the kinds of things I packed. Please excuse the horrible lighting in […]

  • Flavors of Central Texas

    If you’re wondering why I haven’t been posting much lately… this is why. I’ve been in Killeen, Texas, for work. It’s hot here, and there isn’t a lot to do. Of course, I’m waking up at 5 a.m. and working really long days, so I don’t have a ton of time for super fun activities. […]

  • Coconanacado popsicles

    Summer is NOT over, y’all. I know that summer break is over for most of the kids and teachers in the U.S. And I know that the weather has been totally wackadoodle in many places. But it is still August! The high tomorrow in Killeen, Texas (my current location) is 96 degrees. The pools are […]

  • Tea at the Jefferson

    You may recall my recent post about tea at the Willard. It was lovely, but I wanted to try at least one other place for tea in Washington before we moved, and Refinery29 happened to have a well-timed slideshow of afternoon tea options right before Toby’s mom came to visit us there. We decided to […]
