Holiday Gift Guide: For The Home Decor Junkie

Home contributor Audrey deploys her exquisite taste to help you shop for the stylish homebodies in your life.

Shopping for an interior design guru can be more than a little intimidating. The desire to find something truly unique, purposeful, and stylish can definitely be overwhelming, but with so many wonderfully curated home décor shops and a plethora of highly skilled artisans creating distinctive home goods, it’s easier than ever to find something for the person who doesn’t want their house to...

Apparently We Make Our Own Dog Food Now

These days, Lucy is simultaneously adorable and heartbreaking: She’s slowed down a lot in the last few months, and sort of hops rather than walks. Plus she no longer tolerates grooming – I can give her baths and brush her a little, but that’s about it – so her lifelong transformation into an actual muppet is nearing completion. (If you’re worried about her being able to see past that aggressive bang situation she has going on, please recall that she is in possession of a grand total of one e...

Just A Few Lovely Fall Fragrances

Ulli x Kahina Giving Beauty Candle

A friend of mine once stopped by without warning, and entered my house only to point at the candle I had burning on my desk. “You,” she said, “are the only person I know who actually lights candles when you’re just sitting at home by yourself.”

That cannot be true. …Doesn’t everybody keep candles lit at all times?

Anyway, they should. Especially in the fall. To that end, I hunted around for the best seasonal home scents – all with a distinctly warm, autumnal vibe, plus an unexpected little twist.

W...

That be

Still There

I’ve had many summers that felt like little jewelboxes of time, sweet and slow – the one we spent living in temporary housing while we waited for our daughter to be born comes to mind – but there was one that was wonderful in a completely different way than all the others.

It was the summer after Kendrick and I moved from our tiny Hell’s Kitchen place to our slightly-less-tiny Upper East Side apartment. The summer that I quit my office job, and started writing for a living (well, that was the plan, in any case). The s...

Helping Children Cope With Loss

Sleep consultant Mahaley Patel offers a plan to help parents navigate an experience that nobody wants to have – but many do.

A few months ago, I had a family reach out to me to help their three-year-old son. His grandmother, who took care of him several days a week, had passed away. He went from consistently sleeping through the night to waking up multiple times at night and refusing his naps.

I’ve dealt with a vast array of toddler sleep issues, but this one really gave me pause. I wanted to do my...

A Little Fall Fashion Inspo From Yours Truly

Francesca and I were talking about “fashion these days,” and agreed that the overarching theme appears to be “anything goes.” T-shirts as dresses, grandpa sneakers, oversized earrings shaped like fruits…anything.

Which, I must say, I think is awesome. And I would also like a little credit for being an early adopter of this development, because please look at that insanity up there. I want to say it’s terrible – because it seems like that’s what you really *should* say about an outfit that includes shorts over fishnets...is .

The Mom Uniform: Autumn Edition

Today’s post is a twofer, inspired by a couple of reader questions I received via Insta.

Does comfort and style exist? Can you wear yoga pants but still be stylish? and I need a Mom Uniform for fall; help me.

The answer to the first question is a resounding “yes,” and am certain that it is so, because otherwise I would be naked. There is just no power on earth (except for, perhaps, the possibility of a date with Jason Momoa) that could get me out of the house attired in clothing that makes me feel restricted i...
