2 Breakfast Bowls

RECIPES
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. And even though I fast most days, a hearty egg combo is usually my go-to for that first morning snack. I thought I’d share some inspiration for building your own breakfast bowl that will give you a great boost of energy for hours on end. I buy True Roots Quinoa Brown Rice blend and throw it in a variety of my salads and bowls. It’s already seasoned and cooked and just...

Easing into Fall

Collages
It’s hard to envision Fall just around the corner when the temps around here are still nearing 100 degrees. But as we inch closer to September, the idea of stripes and sneakers and cozy nights in give me all the excitement for this next Season. I’ve rounded up some ideas for slowly transitioning into Fall with a few basic neutrals and light layers. Is it cooling down where you are? JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

A Baby Blue Baby Shower

OUR HOME
Over the weekend I hosted a baby shower for some of our dear friends who are expecting a baby boy this Fall. I’ve been so excited to host a party at our house and went all in for a blue and white theme. I thought I’d share some inspiration as well as a few vendors if you’re local to Austin. They made the whole thing super easy and I think it was a huge success! I ordered a balloon...

A Weekend in Nantucket

USA
Nantucket has been on my bucket list ever since I read Elin Hilderbrand’s book 28 Summers. We had an opportunity to drop our kids with their grandparents in Ohio and squeeze in a weekend getaway for us. I suggested Nantucket and Eric immediately began his research. It’s not the easiest place to get to unless you’re on the East Coast, but the idea of being out in a place where so many of my beach-reads take place felt like...

Our Kitchen Island Renovation

OUR HOME
I am so excited to show you our kitchen island renovation that we did this summer! It’s been a dream a long time in the making (mostly for my husband). I was oddly content with the wide space between our island and stovetop (mostly for the dance parties), but Eric was determined to maximize this space. Because of this wide gap, our actual living area downstairs was pretty small. The first step in figuring out whether this renovation would...

Santa Barbara with Kids

USA
We took our kids to our happy place last week and it was magical. Ever since we visited Santa Barbara when I was pregnant with Charlie 5 years ago, it has become the destination Eric and I love traveling to most. From it’s dreamy beaches, perfect weather, and abundance of activities, we were determined to experience a week out there with our children. This was the first trip we have taken with our kids that wasn’t to visit a...

The Coffee Read No. 4

BLOGGING
Wow. Summer. Does anyone else feel like time is passing faster than it ever has? I can’t believe we are on the cusp of July. Between house renovations, family weddings, and travel, we’ve been kind of running around with our heads cut off. I’m going to soak up this last week of “summer school” before we head out on another family adventure! It’s one that I’ve been looking forward to since we booked it in January. My FAVORITE place!...

San Miguel de Allende

ABROAD
Trust me when I say that San Miguel de Allende will be the next hottest destination in Mexico in the upcoming few years. After a weekend spent in this beautiful city with friends, I know why more people are getting married and venturing here instead of the coastal towns. It has an allure unlike other spots. San Miguel de Allende is one of the most beautiful and enchanting cities that is rich in color & culture, known for its...

More Art, New Ideas

ART
Hi friends! You’re probably noticing a little change around here. I’ve kind of shifted my creativity lately and have been spending more time painting than blogging. There’s this peace I’ve found with painting that brings me a deeper sense of self. With zero pressure and endless possibility, I find this creative outlet simply therapeutic. I have a feeling that The Autumn Girl will shift right along with me and you’ll see more art on my social channels and here...

Get the Babysitter

LESSONS AND TIPS
Lately I’ve felt so fortunate in our crazy schedule to have “me” time via babysitting and how important that investment has been for my mental health and wellbeing. So I thought I’d share some tips on getting a babysitter , because I think as parents, we all need a little break from our kiddos. And I know many of you, especially new moms, find these first steps a little bit scary! Charlie was just 4 or 5 weeks old...
