Oh, the things I would do to this Citrine Zig Zag rug from DwellStudio aren’t even funny. I’d settle for the medium sized one, but what I really dream about tossing under my living room couch and transforming the whole room (big plans, guys…BIG plans…) is the super ultra mega-sized version. So pretty. So modernly throw-back-y. Plus when I get… Read more →

Christmas, I Have a Bone to Pick With You.
Since the girl started eating, Christmas, I have taken great care to keep SUGAR a minimal part of her diet. And I’ve done incredibly well for someone as disorganized and non-health conscious as myself. She’s flourished, and for a long time we avoided having to discover if Dee had inherited Scott and Maegan’s sugar gene. {Meaning that…while I can eat… Read more →
Turn, Turn, Turn
Every year, I say it and I hear it: I can’t believe Christmas has come and gone already. But this year, while August crept up on me without a freaking sound ~ the past four months have dragged on for like…an eternity. Oh, what a long strange trip it’s been, Internet. There are stories I tell you. Those are my… Read more →
My Neighbor is a Genius
Aside from baking what had to have been some of the most delicious peanut butter cookies this side of anywhere (so delicious they didn’t even make it to the photo shoot, except for that crum in the corner) our new {and just…lovely} neighbors peeped over our fence Wilson style and laid these little bits of Kitchinspiration on us. Mind? Blown. … Read more →
You Better Not Pout: Decking the Doors with Daily Buzz Moms
So…any time I have a deadline for anything it’s pretty much a good thing. This is because I am a world class procrastinator. Like, I procrastinate on my procrastination projects. For example, finding a lovely something to hang in the middle of our pretty-but-abused 1960’s massive beast of a front door. A something that wouldn’t cover the peep hole, because… Read more →
Kitchinspiration: Chocolate Egg Rolls
About six years ago my friend Marcos and I spent several months in Vancouver for work. There was this burger place in between our two apartments that we’d go to for dinner (or breakfast, or lunch…being on location is kind of a sad existence…) and they had this holiday dessert special that would be forever burned into my mind. The… Read more →
Deck the Challs
Finally, something bigger than a Menorah that I can display alongside our tree. {These are by Zion Judaica. Oriental Trading Co has some nice balls as well.} Dee was awesome at decorating the tree… …in a perfectly straight line. Across the bottom of the tree. {Don’t worry, they’re all paper and plastic.} Luckily, she equally enjoys removing all of them, over… Read more →
Cut Your Crap: Overstimulated.
{125 Swimming Pools by Jenny Odell} The other night, I came home from a late afternoon meeting and Scott suggested that we all go for a walk. Together. The five of us, including the two dogs, one of whom is still a puppy. “You know…to maybe help all of us burn off some energy.” Living with a toddler is a… Read more →
Dee Light
Toddlers rule so much harder than babies. Decking the Halls for both Channukah and Christmas has been an insane blast with a talking, walking, sparkles-obsessed Dee. “Mommy, look at my Christmas Tree – it’s so colorful and beautiful.” Yes. She says that. It’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. Uh, also did you see my killer new smart cover for… Read more →
What the ef is a limitation?
I have fibromyalgia. Do you know what that is? It’s really super lame. I was diagnosed with it at 23 while working in a soul crushing job, pretending I didn’t day dream about JUST HOW BADLY I’d have to get hurt to not have to go to work anymore, but not be like…permanently injured, and watching my body go through… Read more →
