RH and I recently had the pleasure of attending our second prelude to Staplehouse dinner with the über-talented, über-nice Ryan and Jen Hidinger. Head over to their blog for the full rundown on these beautiful and delicious dishes. If you haven’t had the delight of attending one of their underground dinners, I highly recommend signing...

cocktails in the garden
RH and I recently went to Cocktails in the Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. We’ve been members of the Garden for a couple of years, and we’ve enjoyed Cocktails in the Garden many times. It’s a wonderful way to wind down after work. And the Edible Garden is one of my favorite places in...
post-vacay blogging bonanza
My poor blog. My poor, neglected blog. If I had a blog post for every time I thought of writing one, this would be quite a happenin’ place! Alas, I am a busy girl. And busy girls need to take vacations. Apparently I only find time to blog after I take vacation, so maybe I...
how I spent my summer vacation
RH and I recently spent a week in Oregon. It was wonderful. We ate a lot of really great food, saw a lot of cows, drank incredible beer and wine, and rediscovered the joys of a good rain jacket. I’ll try to post more pics and highlights from our trip soon!
photos for a big-brother-to-be!
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the adorable, very energetic son of some friends for the second year in a row. He’s just turned three, and he’s soon going to be a big brother! He’s got a ton of energy, and I found myself cracking up at how much fun he was having running...
steven satterfield of miller union was my private chef
Okay, so it was just for one meal. But it was, quite possibly, the meal of the century. A few months ago, RH and I went to a silent auction at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. We thought we’d enjoy a few hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and maybe we’d leave with theatre tickets or some...
happy st. patrick’s day!
St. Patrick’s Day photo booth! Fun!
away from it all
RH and I recently took a few days to spend time in the North Georgia mountains. It was very, very relaxing. We rented a great place that I’ll call a “cabin-house” because—while it had the stylings of what I would call a cabin—it was really big and nice, like a super-comfy, traditional house. It was...
using the L letterpress
I’ve always loved the letterpressed notecards found in cute stationery boutiques, so when RH and I were planning our wedding, I knew that we simply had to have letterpressed invitations. My heart sank when I realized how expensive that could be, so I decided to take a class at a local printmaking studio and make...
lemon sour cream pound cake
Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, or some other special occasion, every year—without fail—I make pound cake for chocolate fondue. Because I’m not just attacking eating the cake with a fork, but I’m using it to transport yummy melted chocolate to my mouth, it has to be tasty yet sturdy so it doesn’t...
