Nothing makes me happier than an outdoor area that brings me complete solitude. While the housing market is crazy, we rent, so we need renter-friendly things. Trust me when I say, I put my heart and soul into my spaces.

Collection of some of my favorite cocktail lounges in PHX. You won't find any sports bars here.

You'll find very few chains here! We love to support local and find the BEST ambiances.

We're in the kitchen cooking 5 days a week and wouldn't have it any other way. We utilize things that are efficient, look good on the counter and that we will use on a regular basis. Come share the love for our faves!

From workouts to self-care, everything here is part of my daily/weekly routine and I SWEAR by them.

We love to host! Well… we hate that we love to host but in the most loving way. Ya know? April's theme was Dinner in Italy and I had the pleasure of teaching all my favorite people how to roll out pasta by hand - just like my nana taught me.

If you're ever in Kansas City, there are a few places you MUST stop at for a bite to eat or a great cup of coffee! I wouldn't recommend anything I wouldn't go back to for seconds.

We honeymooned in Grand Cayman for 15 days, and I still catch myself daydreaming about it. The beaches were unreal—soft white sand, the clearest turquoise water I’ve ever seen. Every day felt like magic, whether we were snorkeling, eating fresh seafood by the ocean, or just watching the sunset with a drink in hand. If I could go back every year, I would in a heartbeat. It was paradise, plain and simple.
