I effing love me some Home Decor. Maybe it’s because growing up, my Mom was an interior designer (both by nature, and by practice) and was/is constantly bringing home new accessories/swatches etc. to switch out with the old and keep the house “fresh.” When Scott and I moved in together, I went into overdrive. I’m a home furnishings shopaholic, and… Read more →

Technical Difficulties.
You may have noticed that this site was down for about 3 hours this morning. Or that it’s lacking it’s usual lustre now that it’s returned. Well…please bear with me, as this morning’s upgrade to the newest version of WordPress did not agree with my beloved theme. This is not good for the hormones. Thanks to a generous and… Read more →
Happy Father’s Day
Sure, a picture of my Dad and I together would probably be more apropo, but this picture of him (on the left, with the incredible jew-fro) and a school buddy (with the equally incredible moustache) from the early 70’s was just too hilarious to pass up. My Dad is just plain cool. He always wears wayfarers, introduced me to Jazz… Read more →
Summer.
Today officially marks the beginning of summer, and I for one couldn’t be happier. Despite the fact that I’ve swelled up like a water balloon and people keep pitying me for having to be pregnant all through the hot hot Valley summer (seriously, it’s 10 degrees hotter here…that’s not just a cute tagline) I welcome the opportunity to wear minimal… Read more →
I’m like a caricature of a pregnant girl.
Spotted in my refrigerator: an ode to both placenta brain and cliche pregnancy cravings. Apparently every time I go to the market, I buy a fresh jar of pickles. Meanwhile, my legs are swollen to the size of small trees, and I’m pretty sure I’ve started waddling. And can someone explain to me why people feel the need to constantly… Read more →
Paperless Post
Sick of Evite? My friend Alex recently invited me to join the Beta of PaperlessPost.com, a site where you can create invitations as beautiful as the printed ones I always drool over, to be delivered online to your friends and family. After checking out some of the design options Paperless Post has to offer, I’m solidly satisfied. (Although I have… Read more →
EUREKA!
I AM THE GREATEST BARGAIN SHOPPER ALIVE! After scouring every discount store (TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross…) on both east coast and west – I finally found it! My very own Stella McCartney for LeSportsac Mum Tote complete with matching changing pad, bunny charm, and makeup case (as if!) for a mere fraction of it’s original $350 price tag! Thanks to… Read more →
No Cookie Left Behind
So, for the past few years, my beloved Jodi has helped to organize a wonderful Bake Sale at Scoops Ice Cream Shop to benefit childhood hunger. She and the lovely ladies that put it on are all wonderful bakers, and all around crafty people, and this year they upped the ante by adding Onesies for sale to benefit the little… Read more →
When it rains, it pours.
I’ve known Damien for as long as I can remember, so seeing him get married was pretty surreal. I mean, this is the guy who threw rotten fruit at me in the Krauss Family pool the day my first dog Courtney died, who dumped me into a vat of un-jelled strawberry jello, tinting my chlorinated hair pink the night… Read more →
::bangs head on wall::
I’m clogged up today (nasally speaking,) and when you combine that with the most insane case of preggo cankles you’ve ever seen, and my inability to accept that maybe the extra *** lbs of baby hanging off the front of me would dictate that I shouldn’t have danced like there’d be no tomorrow at my cousin’s wedding a few nights… Read more →
