I know I’m not alone in being totally into the marble craze that’s kind of sweeping the craft world at the moment. Rarely a day goes by that I don’t see a new project hit Pinterest that I just adore. The technique is so super easy that I wanted to give it a go transforming a …
In high school I owned no fewer than four pairs of Birkenstock sandals. They were my go-to for everything. If you’ve never worn a pair, they are hands down the comfiest things you’ve ever put your foot in once they’re sufficiently broken in after a few wears. Now that my old favorites are firmly back …

As much as we all know I loathe marshmallows, I am a self-declared lover of all things s’mores, which is why I basically can’t get enough of how people constantly reinvent this summer …

I’m off today helping out at the 5th Annual Ryan Converse Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of my late cousin (we raise lots and …
After spending Sunday afternoon lounging on the beach and splashing around in the ocean before flying back home to New York early Monday morning, I basically have zero interest in anything other than sitting on the beach this week. In reality, it has been rainy all week and I’m up to my eyeballs working on …
Why hello, friends! I’m back from a whirlwind long weekend in Florida celebrating my niece’s high school graduation and ready to jump right into the week. It has been a bit since we chatted about books, but as I was standing in the airport bookstore yesterday in search of a new book for the flight …
Washi tape has become entirely pervasive among the DIY crowd over the last few years and you will never ever catch me complaining about that.
