I’m always in the market for new throw pillows. Mostly because I’m always sure that redecorating is just what I need to get my life on track. Turns out Lindsey Lang has designed some crazy gorgeous ones…let the detour begin. I think the “Sunny Day” patterns are my favorite. But then I stumbled across the Lindsey Lang floor and wall… Read more →

The Santa Conundrum: Adventures In Interfaith Parenting
This morning, my friend Laura hosted a “Santa and Me” party at the Americana at Brand…which if you don’t live in Los Angeles, is basically like they took Main Street from Disneyland, populated it with designer shops, and plopped it in the middle of a major metropolitan area. So, y’know…awesome. At Christmastime, it snows there. Which is novel because it… Read more →
Work/Life Wobbles
November just kind of whipped by. If you frequent this corner of the internet (or any other corner of the internet which I frequent) you might have noticed that I went a little bit off the grid around Lindsey’s wedding and never really managed to regain my footing on said grid until sometime last week. The grid wobbles. Or maybe… Read more →
Give Your Dog A Gift. If You And Your Dog Are Into That Sort Of Thing.
{Leash by Found My Animal} So, lately we’ve been watching a whole lot more TV (or rather, tivo’d Disney Channel movies on repeat) around these parts than I think any parent would like to admit. I blame the flu. We’re working on it. Especially now that Delilah has taken to repeating pretty much everything she hears everywhere. Like this morning… Read more →
In The Heat Of The Night
Despite my total inability to locate the pretty spiked rings in last week’s post, it turns out my sister-in-law actually owns the set (which, incidentally is by Noir Jewelry) and my friend Alex noticed that it was going on sale as part of Gilt Groupe’s Cyber Monday event. What are the odds? IT’S LIKE FATE, SCOTT. As it turns out,… Read more →
One To Love: The Mother Company
We are big fans of Ruby’s Studio in this house. Do you know Ruby? She is just lovely, and I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned at least once how beneficial the brain child of the Mother Company has been for Dee [and I]. Their message is wonderful, their production design is gorgeous, and I’ve been waiting with baited breath for them to… Read more →
YUM: Cran Pumpkin Thanksgiving Leftover Muffins
Last year, fridge-gazing after Turkey Day, an idea hit me like a bolt of lighting. If you’re wondering what to do with your leftovers, consider these: {originally published 11/28/11} A couple of hours ago, staring into my refrigerator, I’m pretty sure I had a stroke of culinary genius. (Or Bakerary Genius. Are they the same?) Sitting there on the second… Read more →
WAHM, Bam, This Is Who I Am. (A Lyrical Gangsta. Clearly.)
Generally speaking, I’m not a person who does *simple*. If there’s a “keep it simple” path and a “drive yourself and everyone around you nuts” path, I’m inevitably trailblazing the latter. Back in good ‘ol 2009, mere weeks before I discovered I was pregnant with Delilah, I had made the decision to freelance rather than day-job in order to support… Read more →
Miscellany Monday
Tempaper’s new(ish) “Zee” pattern {via Urban Outfitters} I’ve done a Tempaper wall myself and it really is pretty easy. This picture of a mannequin I came across in my weird work a while back and have had on my desktop ever since. I just love it. {via chasecc’s Flickr} Loogs 3-String Guitar Building Kit for Kiddos — I think Dee’s… Read more →
Bridesmaidery: Wedding Day Bridal Survival Kit
Before NY was shut down by Hurricane Sandy, it was lit up by Mike and Lindsey. {photo by Sara, yes THAT Sara, who YES! does weddings!} I’ve barely finished uploading my photos from Lindsey and Mike’s incredible bookstore nuptials, and this weekend, I’ll hold Randi’s train as she walks down the aisle (figuratively, not literally. I’ll be walking down the… Read more →
