The sun has slowly but surely intensified its rays as we’ve gone deeper into summer, and while the garden is certainly enjoying it, my over-heated house and uncomfortable body is not. Temperatures like these are what makes me want to chop off all my...

After almost two weeks in New Mexico for my photography workshop, I was home a little over 24 hours before catching a plane to Lake Tahoe for a friend’s wedding this past weekend. It was really fun to see some of my old friends...

I’ve spent the past few days running around the entire state of Oregon with Carey, my friend, fellow blogger, and awesome workshop partner. I’ve been taking her to my favorite places in a not-so-veiled attempt at luring her into moving away from snowy Vermont...

Before I dive into this strawberry balsamic cheesecake, I have some little updates to share! There’s been a lot going on the past few weeks, and I have some pretty exciting stuff that I want to share with you guys (!) but am waiting...

Spring has sprung so much that it’s beginning to feel like summer. It was 87 degrees here in Portland today, and while my baby tomato sprouts seem to be enjoying the heat, I must say I didn’t enjoy the reminder of what it’s like...

Five weeks ago I hosted my third Secret Supper pop-up dinner here in the Pacific Northwest. We held it in a clearing in the middle of a grove of sweeping douglas fir trees, located at the magical Miller Farm Retreat. Co-hosting alongside me were my...

I’m still catching up on all the house and yard work I missed out on while I was gone, but just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that there’s only 3 spaces left for my New Mexico food photography & textiles...
