We spent an afternoon visiting with Meredith Peck and Andy Yang in their charming home. Meredith is the co-founder of San Francisco–based oo-mi, a skincare brand for tweens, and a content creator. She and her husband Andy live in the heart of San Francisco with their nine-year-old daughter, Madi, and sweet dog, Lucy.
Meredith and Andy chatted with us about their daily rituals and routines over coffee, board games, and an impromptu piano performance by Andy. We learned that family is at the center of everything they do — from the small daily rituals they share, to exploring new places together, to cooking meals and spending time connecting. Meredith shared that their home and the way they spend their days are shaped by these moments, and it’s in those everyday routines that their story really comes to life.
Can you give us a glimpse into your morning routine?
My mornings begin quietly. Time is limited, so we’ve become a very well-oiled machine. Getting our daughter, Madi, off to school is our main focus, and over time we’ve really perfected our roles. I make lunch, take the dog out, and pour myself a cup of coffee. Andy wakes Madi, she has a quick breakfast, and then we walk her to school together.
Once she’s dropped off, Andy and I head to the gym to work out together, and then the day officially begins.
Do you have daily rituals?
I make a point to get dressed every day. It’s a meditative practice for me and a way of showing up for myself each morning. It sets the tone for how I move through the day.
Do you and Andy have any shared rituals together as a couple?
We’re very intentional about creating small moments together. Most days, we try to have lunch together as a way to reconnect. At the end of the day, before we pick up Madi, we often spend time in our front room listening to music. No matter how busy things feel, we try to build in a daily pause – a moment just for the two of us to talk, or simply be in the same space. Those rituals ground us.
What is your favorite way for you both to reconnect?
Food has always been how we reconnect. Our first date was dinner, and we stayed until the restaurant shut down. Whether we’re going out to eat or cooking at home, sharing a meal is how we connect, both as a couple and as a family. We’ve always loved sharing a plate together, which is something my husband rarely does with anyone else. It feels intimate and familiar, and very us.
Can you think of small gestures or sweet moments between the two of you to show your love for one another?
So much of how we show love lives in the small, everyday moments. Andy is always cooking meals I’ve mentioned or want to try, which feels like such a thoughtful, natural way he cares. We’re intentional about carving out time together each day, even if it’s brief. On my end, I show love by making him laugh—spotting little bits of humor and sharing them with him is one of my favorite ways to connect. It’s those quiet, consistent gestures that really define us.
Do you have a favorite song that reminds you of each other?
Our wedding song – Jay Ungar, Ashokan Farewell
How do you influence each other's personal style?
We often show up in matching outfits, which I think naturally comes from decades of life together. I’m constantly borrowing from his closet – especially outerwear and shirts – he has an incredible collection. We vintage shop together and tend to gravitate toward the same pieces; we both have a strong sense of what we like. If anything, I’m more influenced by him – his style is instinctive and so thoughtful.
Favorite local date night?
For date nights, we love going places we know our daughter won’t be interested in. We always love to try something new. Andy and I go out to lunch every Friday and make a point to explore somewhere unfamiliar. It’s less about the meal and more about the discovery, especially with someone I know so well. Trying things for the first time together is what we love most.
As a family, Rintaro is our favorite. Our daughter adores it, and Sylvan, the chef, has known her since she was born. He’s watched our family grow and we adore the space. And of course, San Francisco has no shortage of great spots – Zuni Café will always be a classic.
What future projects do you dream about?
I’m always dreaming up new projects. Right now, we’re thinking a lot about reconfiguring our family room. We want to shift it toward connection and away from television. We want it to feel like a space for gathering and comfort, somewhere we genuinely want to spend time together.
Our daughter, Madi, also has big ideas for her own space. She’s excited to reimagine it in a way that reflects her personality, which feels especially meaningful to us.
We also keep talking about having a sauna in the backyard which would be an absolute dream!
