Iiiiiiit’s aaaaaaaa wraaaaaaa- I wouldn’t do that to you. Maybe. (I would.) Let’s look back at the past NINE YEARS of my wrapping paper style and how it’s evolved! Or devolved? Look, just keep that to yourself. I obsess over a wrapping paper look. It’s a whole vibe. A whole thing. It carries the mood. […]

A Few of My Favorite Things: Summer Edition!
Heeeeey-oh! I’ve returned! Oh, you didn’t notice? Oh. Let’s do a quick round of current summer faves before we dive back into food next week, shall we? I have to shoot two recipes today and I’m like, “Do I even know how? How does one photograph food? How does one hold a camera? I have […]
The Way It Is – Nightlight Sessions
Another summer, another song! You know our summer family tradition of traveling to Little Rock, Arkansas, where my parents live, along with my sister Barbara and her husband Dustin, and their girls Breckon and Leighton. I know you know this! I’m just telling you again. Want me to say all that one more time? Just […]
I Signed Up To Run A Half Marathon. Am I a Complete Idiot?
You guys. What have I done. Also for those who voted for more running content, be careful what you wish for. A HALF MARATHON. Did I have a moment of temporary insanity? Did my brain short circuit out while I pressed the “register here” button? What in the world? I can’t explain this otherwise. It’s […]
Will and Natalie’s New Bedrooms
I wanted to put an exclamation point on that title but I do in fact enjoy having human friends. We gave the kids much needed bedroom upgrades! At last. It was so time. They’d been sleeping in beds the size of bobby pins. It was one of those ordeals where we (by we I mean […]
Cozy Winter Favorite Things!
A gift guide . . . in January? Naw. Let’s think of this as HYGGE SEASON INSPO. All caps necessary. Also I don’t have a recipe for you so this is what you get. Ha! Oh. Perhaps you got a little Christmas money that you’re sitting on and need help in deciding what to get. […]
French Café Kitchen Curtains!
I finally put up new curtain hardware! And we went French, baybuh. This simple (but effective!) kitchen tweak has been on my to-do list for eons. Long ago when we got the new casement windows I kept teetering between fabric or pull-down. Fabric or pull-down. I wanted to something billowy and airy, but would it […]
Holiday Gift Guide 2021!
A gift guiiiiiide! It’s been so long since I’ve put together one of these, how fun. This thing has a little bit of everything, because I know how overwhelming it can be to think about gifting, the budget, what’s actually necessary, but still thoughtful and sweet, yadda yadda yadda. I’ll tell you now, the most […]
Nightlight Sessions – On Spotify! (and other places too but it would take too long to type it all out.)
Guess whaaaaaat! (besides me telling you just now in the title.) Check. That. Out. We’re on all those places! AND, the mix is new. It’s been polished and refined and lushed out and it’s GORGEOUS. So, here it is! And while you’re at it, you can hear the two other songs we recorded in the […]
The One I Love – Nightlight Sessions
YOU GUYS. I don’t even have words. Like, no words. Besides all the ones I’m about type out right now. Remember when we went to Little Rock last month and saw my sister Barbara, her husband Dustin and their girls for the first time since 1987? Right, you remember. (this photo was from 1954. Not […]
