I am writing this post on the eve of the end of my maternity leave and I have basically been crying on the hour for the last six. My little guy turned three months old today, and tomorrow morning I will leave him with a wonderful babysitter and become an employee – commuter – executive again. I will even re-sync… Read more →

The Art of Preservation with Heirloom Lab
I have a secret. A dirty, awful, shameful secret that makes me cringe whenever I remember that super adult thing that after seven years I still have not taken the time to do. This coming September will mark Scott’s and my seventh wedding anniversary. It will also be the 2,556th anniversary of how many days it has been (and counting)… Read more →
Parachutes, Chicken Coops, + Steamy Hot Links
I can’t be the only person who thinks there isn’t enough time in the day to live every aspect of life required, right? Like, I can’t possibly live online and offline at the same time. Even when I know what I need to do I fall behind. It’s a balancing act, having the career I want and the family experience… Read more →
Valley Artist Natalia Fabia’s Work Is Truly Truly Truly Outrageous
From time to time I meet people who read this blog and have no idea what The818 is. (Even more frequently I meet people who don’t read this blog and have no idea what The818 is, but I digress.) And then other times I meet people who are like “No way, The818.com? How was that even available? I would totally buy… Read more →
Our Insta-Summer
It seems unbelievable that summer is already over and Dee’s school career has begun, but it’s true. The beauty of Instagram is that even when my Project 365 kicks the bucket (I swear I’m trying to come up with a way to get back on that horse, but the damn thing keeps bucking me off) I still manage to keep… Read more →
Try Something New: Calligraphy & Martinis [+ The Most Delicious Martini Recipe Ever]
Last week I hosted my first local event on behalf of this website. It’s something I’ve been toying around with in my mind for a while — sort of in an attempt to help coax some of you local lurkers out of the lurky woodwork to talk to me, and sort of in an attempt to force myself to start… Read more →
My Friend Paul Is A Male, Childless CEO With Something To Say.
I don’t publish a whole heck of a lot of Guest Posts on this site. In fact, with the exception of my super depressing September 11th Series, this might actually be the only one. But my friend Paul texted me yesterday after having stumbled across that dumb Mom-Blogger-Trashing Wall Street Journal article from last week asking if I’d consider publishing… Read more →
Casual Coachella-Day (Or, How I Spent My Spring Vacation.) (What?)
We don’t take many vacations around these parts. With both of us being self-employed, it’s hard for us to find the time to take off of work to take those much needed life-breaks. So most of the time, we just don’t. I travel for work, and we’ll do quick trips to visit our sisters on the weekends, but that’s it.… Read more →
Mama A and Baby Bea
Amy and I shared a bedroom for a year and an apartment for two more and now she’s the cutest Brooklyn Mama you ever did see. I feel lucky that despite our distance I get to see her and her little family as often as I do, because I love them all to pieces. Read more →
Lemonade
Subconsciously, I think I like to surround myself with people who are just so intensely talented that I have no choice but to feel like no matter what I did I could never replicate their creativity and brilliance. Keeps me hungry. Like a rabid lion. Rowr. Jessica has been one of those people for as long as I remember. (Or,… Read more →
