In my college years, I owned a pair of snakeskin print, strappy sandals from Wal-Mart that I wore with everything. In fact, you may have seen me huddled outside a club, waiting for one-in-one-out to go my way with my bare toes near snow. I’m much more sensible now, but I still love snakeskin. It’s…
Last week, I shared a 15 minute meal plan builder perfect for hectic nights when you don’t even have time for takeout. Today, I’m talking about a favorite 15 minute main dish. To prepare it, tilapia is cooked in a non-stick skillet, alongside lime, butter and fresno chilis. Sautéed over a medium heat, the butter…
In my 20’s, meals could take hours to make, because there wasn’t a small person who lived with me that cared how quickly she was fed. But now, there is. She also comes with 1,000 activities, which means we need meals to happen quickly. So today, I’m spilling secrets on how I make dinner happen…
I’m back with another edition of “what to read right now.” Here, I’ve rounded up five books that I’ve read over the last several months. For each one, I’ve written a short review to give you an idea of how much I liked it. I Owe You One – I have been a Sophie Kinsella…
While some fashion trends are fun and fleeting, others stand the test of time. This fall, I’ll be reaching for the usual suspects – plaid, great sweaters and 1,000 boots.

Last year, I went to Santa Fe on a girls trip with a big group of friends. We packed a lot into 4 days – spa time, art galleries, great food and rooftop bars. Today, I’m sharing those favorites with you, because I’m a giver. Sometimes. Before leaving, I researched spots I’d like to check…
For several years, I’ve been a big fan of Kate Somerville’s UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. A sunscreen and make-up setting spray in one, it is a staple product of mine for a lot of reasons. The first is probably the biggest. It takes no time to put on. You simply spray the…
Hello, hello. Although summer feels over, it’s not. And, I have proof in the form of regular sweat whenever I step outside. So, although Ellie is back in school, my garden is in full production mode – which thankfully means regular batches of beautifully ripe Roma tomatoes. I’ve been using my stash to whip up…
Feminine and very ladylike, these egg salad toasts would be perfect for Mother’s Day or a spring Brunch. We had ours this year at Easter. I had originally made half the amount shown here, but quickly doubled it on the spot, because we ate all of them and everyone (except for Ellie) wanted more. Although…
