{Dee, on actual Chanukah – yes, with some delicious Mexican Take Out.} This morning, as I packed up the final pieces of 2011, Dee turned to me and asked: “Where’s the candles?” ‘Oh, honey – Chanukah is over. Remember, just like we’re taking down our Christmas Tree until next year.’ But my usually accepting child looked at me with those… Read more →

Chevron Rug Sexy Party
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 →
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 →
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 →

Especially if your kids are….artistic. I mean, right? AWESOME. Holy balls I am obsessed with Tempaper. * * * Oh, and also, for good measure…see… Read more →
It’s good to be home in our tiny corner of The Valley.
I missed Dee George something FIERCE while I was away this past week. Felt a bit like my heart had been ripped out. Even if only temporarily. We’re spending a lot of time in the yard now that we’re all three reunited. Well, that, and thanks to the kind folks at New Grass, our lawn is now dirt-free. Making our… Read more →
What’s in the Bag?! (A Hint, it’s Swag.)
So you and I met at BlogHer and I gave you one of my goodie bags. I bet we were like best friends. I can’t wait to see you at BlogHer12. Anyway, the bag you’re holding… I nearly lost my marbles over this one, but as a result there are some VERY cool sposnsors who wanted to share goodies… Read more →
PurgedayThursday: SO Fab
When I saw Tempaper for sale on {my new obsession} Fab.com, I couldn’t control myself. I bought three rolls. Two for the entry (pictured), and one in THIS PATTERN which I haven’t decided what to do with (I’m thinking master bath?). Anyway this week while procrastinating I got a bug up my butt and started on the entry hall and… Read more →
