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 →

Cankles: The reckoning.
Look at those monsters. Doesn’t it kind of look like someone filled two latex gloves with water? Like there are little sausages tacked on to the end of a beanbag? See how the calf, the ankle, and the foot are all one continuous swollen mess with no discernible definition between them? That is the current state of my feet. And… Read more →
Let the fun begin.
Our crib hacking adventure has begun, and I’m so excited about the prospects of positive results, I can’t wait until we have a finished product to share our progress. It all started one afternoon while I was helping Sara convert her Baby Mod Parklane Crib (which I’ve always been a fan of) into a Toddler bed. I was rattling off… Read more →
Yes we can.
It’s hot, and I’m still sitting in bed being “creepy” as Scott calls it – because he’s still sleeping next to me and I like to stare at him when he starts to stir so he gets that uneasy feeling of someone watching him while he sleeps. (Really freaks him out.) Scott’s been trying to recover from the cold… Read more →
The Happiest Place on Earth
Maybe not the brightest idea two pregnant chicks have ever had, but my friend Amber (who’s due a mere two days before me) and I decided to attempt to beat the heat and take a 9am hike down Runyon Canyon this morning. (We failed. It was freakin’ 100 degrees by the time 9:30 rolled around.) Sophie ran ahead in search… Read more →
Stuff that’s pretty funny.
The Best Tattoo Ever. Funny, right? I found it on this funny girl’s blog called “Confessions of a Fat Girl” and I couldn’t resist stealing it. You can check her out here. The Best Commercial Ever: I’ve worked on my fair share of commercial concepts the past few years and I’ve even occasionally come across one that’s so good,… Read more →
And the winner is…
Thanks to everyone who entered the Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklace Giveaway! The winner is Jamie Oliver! (No, not the naked chef…SHE’s that beautiful lady pictured to the right..) Congratulations Jamie – I hope you enjoy it! (Wow, that was a lot of exclamation points.) Thanks to everyone who entered – I wish I had 175 of these so everyone would… Read more →
D.H. – a study in orange.
One Sunday morning in New York, my room mates and I grabbed some coffee and started a trek uptown to the 101st street ASPCA. We’d been tossing around the idea of getting a dog (much to Katie and Amy’s dismay, but they were studying abroad at the time and we wanted a puppy, dammit) and we thought we’d go check… Read more →
Tattoos and Vanity
In addition to strangers staring at my body like I’m the first girl in Jr. High to develop breasts, and people putting their hands dangerously close to my lady bits when trying to feel the baby kick, I find that those who know me are increasingly interested in how my stomach tattoo is faring as my gut engorges. I’ve written… Read more →
Timi & Leslie Diaper Bags
The Mini Social is having an insane sale (as low as 99$) on Timi & Leslie diaper bags (and travel bags,) and some of them are so effing swank, I just had to share. If I didn’t already have my super sweet Stella McCartney bag, I’d be buying one for sure – probably that white one. (If you’re not a… Read more →
