Photo by Stephanie Sunberg for Maria Stanley Time management and organization have never come naturally to me. When life became unmanageable—a constant since my second child arrived—I looked to the experts. Not once did I think of listening to my own rhythm and body. Productivity, I thought, was something to master, not something to understand. Then I hit […]
Jammy Eggs With Pickled Leeks, Dill, Capers, Smoked Salmon, and Buttermilk Crème Fraîche Toasts There’s something extra magical about winter weekends at the cabin. Slow mornings. Coffee by the fire. Long meals. No agenda. The simplicity of being in nature. My friend Lisa Hackwith and her partner have spent years hosting friends and family at […]
This month’s theme on Wit & Delight is all about the art of the mix in interior design. I wanted to share more info on this topic and write about how you can apply the art of the mix in your own home. When I first sat down to write this article, I thought of […]

After four months alcohol-free, I started my “soberish” chapter in early March. It began as unceremoniously as it ended—no dramatic moment, just a quiet shift. Since then, it’s been going well: a drink or two a week. Dinner parties now wrap up with one glass of wine, a feat I never thought possible. What’s made […]
I see such a deep connection between our interior lives and the way physical movement creates space—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
