The hubs and I landed in NYC this AM after a red eye flight and a whirlwind weekend with the Kids' Choice Awards and the "School of Rock" premiere. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who watched, spread the news about the show and called and texted - I haven't seen Tony so emotional since our wedding, and we're both so grateful for all the love and support you've shown him. We're in the city for the next few days for Tony to promote the show and to celebrate my 30th birthday on St. Patrick's Day. And as an early birthday gift, Tony wrote this guest blog for me. I'm stupid crazy lucky, I know...View Article

Valentineekend Recap!

This weekend, Tony and I celebrated our first Valentine's Day as a married couple! (One of the many fun aspects of being a newlywed is you get to call every mundane thing a "first," annoying EVERYONE). Since it fell on a long weekend, we decided to drag the celebration out over three days. To us, the word "celebrate" means eating too much in sweatpants, which is exactly how we rocked our 3-day-V-Day... I'm keeping it going, inhaling a leftover brownie as I write this. And because Tony is the most romantic person I've ever met, he woke me up with a gift every morning. In general, I think taking Valentine's Day too seriously is silly; trying to make it the most ROMANTIC.DAY.EVER. puts too much pressure on everyone. But, I like any excuse to focus on love, whatever that means to you - and to us, it meant low-key time spent together with our dogs and friends, eating and laughing.View Article

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide (For Her AND Him)

Tony and I are low-key when it comes to Valentine's Day (one of the few times in my life I can honestly say I'm "low-key.") Restaurants are packed, the waitstaff is stressed out and the prixe fixe menus are obscenely expensive. That, coupled with the immense amount of pressure to make this the most romantic night of the year, is a recipe for disaster. That said, I LOVE Valentine's Day! It bums me out when people say it's just a Hallmark holiday. Why not have a day to celebrate love, however you have it in your life -- your partner, friends, kids or pets? I love embracing all of the other cheesy holiday cliches: Flowers, candy, sweet notes and lots of pink. For Tony and me, celebrating means spending time outside with our dogs, whether it be a hike or a picnic, and cooking dinner at home before curling up in front of the TV. Sure, we do this most days... But on Valentine's Day, Tony eats carbs and I put on my nice sweatpants. It's a win for everyone. Still, this girl loves presents (you show me a girl who doesn't and I'll show you a liar), and a few people have emailed me to see what I'm getting Tony this year, so I thought I'd put together a gift guide. Here are a few ideas for the loves of your life, whether it be your lady, boyf or bestie (for the love of love, do NOT forget your single friends who want to crawl into a time machine and come out February 15). Happy Heart Day, lovies!View Article

Baby Names, Travel & Teamwork: Tony’s Take On Our First 6 Months of Marriage
Posted February 1, 2016 | Filed in coffee with friends, LIFE & LOVE, SERIES |

As of today, I have officially been Mrs. Cavalero for six months! I can't believe it's been half a year since we said "I do." I feel like we've been married forever, and I also feel like it was just yesterday that I was surrounded by my favorite people in my favorite place, celebrating my life with my favorite person. I wish I could re-live that entire week in Tahoe over and over and over. In these first six months, I've learned a lot. Namely: I love Tony more every day. I am not ready for kids yet (Tony is). I am ready for more dogs (Tony is not). And bad days are better - and good days the best - because I have a teammate to share them with. Five months ago, I wrote my thoughts on our first month of marriage. Today, I'm sharing a special guest blog with my husband Tony's thoughts on marriage, now that we've reached the half-way mark to our first anniversary...View Article

Happy 2nd Birthday, Heels in the Hills!

Two years ago today, I launched this blog. It was under a different name, I posted sporadically and it was all about my wedding. 730 days later (I had to use a calculator to figure that out, FYI), it has become Heels in the Hills, a place were I post every weekday. A lot has happened in those two years. We expanded our family to the point where dogs outnumber people (I adopted our latest puppy while Tony was in Vegas at a bachelor party). The site has evolved into a lifestyle blog, where I write about food, fashion, beauty, home, books and more, in addition to my relationship. Tony and I got married. I received notes from readers all over the world, giving me a sense of relief that more people are looking at Heels in the Hills beyond my mom's book club as well as a sense of comfort that, even though I may not have sold a screenplay or become a movie star (yet), I am achieving my dream of entertaining people. It's grown from a hobby on Tumblr to a real, full-fledged blog that I love to write and am proud of...View Article

Nights Apart

One of my mom's favorite ways to guilt trip my dad is to softly, longingly lament, "Paul McCartney NEVER spent a night apart from Linda throughout their entire marriage. Not until she DIED." I have no idea if this is a true statement or not, but I heard it countless times growing up, whenever my dad would take a business trip (or golf trip). And this weekend, my dad, brother and I took a last minute trip to Austin to visit my uncle. Both Mom and Tony couldn't come, and so yet again, my dad is reminded that he is not Paul McCartney. And I'm not either... And neither is Tony. Because it's really, really, really hard to always be in the same place. Life happens.View Article
