  • How You Doin’?

    Welcome to the new blog! The ol’ girl needed a little facelift and since we’re slaves to available domain names, she got a new name to boot. My goal is always to add frequent posts and somehow life gets in the way and I always come up a little short. I hope with the new blog, […]

  • Ta-Da-Duh-Da

    Ta-Da-Duh-Da

    As Olivia would say it, ta-da-duh-dah, here is the new site.  Perhaps the disappearance of the sun has put me in a funk but I needed a good pick-me-up.  I suddenly had an epiphany that my blog looked like internet vomit – I’m married to a designer for crying out loud!  So I enlisted the […]

  • Hat Roundup

    Hat Roundup

    When I first found out I was pregnant the second time around and the shock value wore off, I wished deep down to my core that I was going to have a second girl.  I really wanted Olivia to have a sister and on top of it, I saved all of Liv’s old clothing.  There […]

  • Flora & Henri

    Flora & Henri

    I recently came across this children’s clothing boutique called Flora & Henri and I must admit, after looking at these saccharin sweet clothes, I really really really want another girl.  I want to blow my money dressing up my girls like little dolls.  Sorry Ryan, you’re screwed.

  • Fine Dining

    Fine Dining

    I think these plates by Esther Derkx would be totally appropriate for this Thanksgiving or any other random night for that matter.  Hello Mr. leg lift man!

  • Odosketch

    I have recently discovered this amazing site called Odosketch.  The site gives you the ability to sketch anything with the most beautiful colors and the effects will make any sketch look awesome!  Another awesome feature is you can see how any drawing was created, including your own.  I sense many wasted days in my future […]

  • Hats, Hats Galore

    I’ve developed a habit – while out with Olivia, I put random hats on her head and shamelessly make impromptu photo shoots in the middle of stores.  It typically involves me discovering some heinous or ridiculously adorable item to put on her head.  With one hand, I fumble for my phone while I use the […]

  • Community Bookcase

    Community Bookcase

    I think this is a rather splendid idea that is already taking place in several cities around the world.  No memberships, no late fees – you simply take which items you like and go on your merry way.  The only thing the bookcase asks of you is you add a few items of your own […]

  • Framed Objects

    Framed Objects

    I love love love these.  I’ve been on a hunt for all things interesting and pretty for our many walls and I think I could find a lovely home for these darlings. The price tag is a little steep but for originality . . . . I know, I’m trying to justify the price.  All […]
