Guess what! I have an actual column in an actual magazine. Analog style! It’s a thrill to announce that The Slow Down will be a monthly addition to Mission Hills City Lifestyle magazine. Where this blog could be compared to an armpit fart, what you’ll find in the magazine is slightly softer and hopefully a […]
You know when I say, “your best extra virgin olive oil?” THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. Bev’s corner of the internet – meet Valèvida. Valèvida, meet Bev’s corner of the internet. You two will adore each other. I had the pleasure of receiving a gifted bottle (at random!) from a friend of mine here in […]
Bueller . . . Bueller . . . Beuller . . . Nat’s backpack. Stylish and sturdy. And I always love that shade of pale pink. Her lunchbag/box. Whatever you call it. It has a weird amount of room in there, and I’m obsessed and need my own. Little bit of locker bling! They also […]
Hey heeeeeey, let’s have a little favorite things action today! (promise I’ll never say it like that again.) You guys seemed to really get into the Cozy Winter edition. And the Summer edition was fire. So, here we are with an autumn edition! Which is my favorite edition of all the favorite things and their […]
I have no way to introduce this post without sounding completely unhinged. So I’ll just go for it. We all know of Will’s blistering obsession with the Beatles. (I mean, my work is done, right?) The boy is swallowed. He constantly teeters on who he’s more like, musically and personally: Paul’s sweethearted nature and unrivaled […]
Another summer, another sooooong! I know I don’t have to tell you about our summer tradition of visiting family in Little Rock, AR. Old news, yes. And I know I don’t have to tell you that each year we pick a song from the ’80s or ’90s, slow it down and vibe it out. You […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
