Happy Monday!!! For this week’s HOMEWORK, I forced my dad into doing a knife sharpening tutorial!! We come from a long line of “moletas” knife grinders) in Italy and my dad’s amazing at it. My dad’s been sharpening knives since he was a kid and is truly the very best in the country (I promise […]
December 16, 2019Happy Tuesday!! I’m a day late on posting HOMEWORK this week (due to some really fun technical difficulties posting) but it’s UP and this week we’re decking the halls (basically, the mantle.) I’m a baby stepper when it comes to holiday decorating and usually start with garlands and wreaths earlier in December and them get […]
December 10, 2019Hello! Hope you’re having a great week! Last week, I was on NBC 4 Washington with Erika Gonzalez talking holiday tables & I wanted to share! We had so much fun and I set a super-easy table. When Erika reached out about doing the story I told her how we really don’t do anything […]

We’ve been working on renovating houses for resale (AKA “flipping” though I know that term has negative connotations/ implies cheap quick fixes which is SO not what’s been going on 😉 ) with our Property Collective (our real estate brokerage) co-founders, […]
November 22, 2019Happy Monday!!! I had a fun & busy week/weekend with a couple of book signing parties (I’ll share pics later this week!!) and I kind of can’t believe it’s Monday already. This week on HOMEWORK, I went after something I’ve been dreading doing for YEARS… I attacked my dining room hutch. I’ve been dreading it […]
November 18, 2019This past week (or few!) was a crazy work week and the weather really changed around here from warm to cold… Fall (winter even??) is making an appearance and that quick switch to the cold dry air really took its toll on my skin. I’m not very good about going out to get things done […]
