What started as THIS now looks like that. The sides have been constructed and holes drilled. (The ends will be painted before the rails are permanently attached.) We’re on our way to a modern crib! (Don’t worry – that clutter is in our workshop, not our house.) Read more →

SYTYCD – The Final Chapter.
Tonight the final four dancers will be chosen on So You Think You Can Dance, and I just couldn’t let an entire season go by without airing my two cents. I hate to say it, but Season Five has been a little bit of a disappointment compared to previous years. Sure, the judges are calling the cast the most talented… Read more →
Holy Shit, I’m 30 weeks Pregnant.
Time is flying by (and we still haven’t painted the nursery.) The last week has seen some major growth from the beast in my belly. She’s able to push my stomach in all directions, and when Scott and I were in the car the other day, I’m pretty sure she gave me a swift kick to the diaphragm, because my… Read more →
Swoon.
How stunningly beautiful is this chair? If I wasn’t a glutton for punishment who enjoyed being a man-cave widow while my husband spends hours on end in his workshop slaving away on our many many (too many) DIY projects for our little girl’s nursery, then I would certainly be in a bidding frenzy over this vintage (yet newly upholstered) Danish-made… Read more →

So tired.
It seems like just yesterday that I was in Berkeley with my Sister awaiting the arrival of my youngest niece, Paloma.

To Wax, or not to wax…
Back in my first trimester, I briefly pondered the idea of a bikini wax. Before the plus sign I wouldn’t have thought twice about it, but at the time I was barfing 4-5 times daily, and blowing chunks into rapidly hardening hot wax covering my private areas seemed like something that deserved a moment’s consideration. Then there was the issue… Read more →
Summertime Blues
My patio furniture is falling apart. This is particularly upsetting to me, because I love my patio furniture. And since the entire fourth wall of our living/dining room is glass that looks out onto our little tiny yard (and since our living room has now become my office) I spend 70% of the day staring right at the now-decrepit vintage… Read more →
Where is my mind?
Some days, when I wake up, it feels like my brain never got the rise n’ shine memo. My eyes are open, my fingers might even be typing, but my mind is just…somewhere else. Looks like today is fixin’ to be one of those days. So I leave you with this: This video is close to my heart because –… Read more →
