The Davises live in Leesburg, Virginia, with their dog, Marley. They enjoy cooking together, a shared passion that inspired them to co-own multiple bkd. bagels shops in Northern Virginia - home of the original sprinkle bagel balls created by their 2 year old daughter Ellie Reese.

Their time in the kitchen together inspired this book. Before Ellie Reese could read instructions, she knew colors, counting, and symbols. You're Invited: cooking-with-color was brought to life by the Davises desire to empower children, like Ellie Reese, in the kitchen (and in throwing a great party!)
