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 →

We’re Awesome at Camping
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 1000 times…REI is THA BOMB. (That’s right, I wrote it ’90’s style because that’s how serious I am about this shiz.) So you already heard about my shopping trip to buy goodies for our big beach camp-out in Malibu Carpinteria (it’s hard to get a camp site this time of year in… Read more →
Dashiell and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Cake
The boy turns three tomorrow, but watching Sara expertly wrangle her two little men while managing to serve the six-layer rainbow cake she made from scratch while remodeling her bathroom (no, seriously) — you’d think she’d been at this Mom business for a hell of a lot longer. Sara is the kind of gracious, calm, collected, ready-before-the-guests-arrive, hostess that I could… Read more →
Best. Week. Ever.
So, I have a pretty decrepit sense of self. You might not know it from reading along, but I’m like, crazy self-conscious about everything I do. I mean, I blog about my personal life on the public internet, so obviously I’ve got some kind of baggage, right? If we met in person, and you asked me what I do for… Read more →
Friday the 13th at the Lake
This has been a pretty big month for me. Not only did I get my butt up off my couch and out of my pajamas and go to BlogHer in New York with Dee in tow, but then three days later I got up off the couch AGAIN and drove my little family up to Big Bear where we… Read more →
Some like it hot. Some don’t.
Usually (despite the wee-hours-of-the-morning battles that have become a ritual in this house) bed time is fairly painless for Dee. Darkness, Uncle Alex’s lullaby’s, and nursing are her cryptonite, and she’s usually out in a matter of minutes. Occasionally, if her gums are bothering her, or she’s having a bad poo, or she’s got the gas (sorry future Dee,… Read more →
Sunday, Yummy Sunday.
The Cookies Without Borders Bake Sale was a huge success – the line was down the block, the goodies kept showing up, and the ladies raised over 5k for Haiti. I’m so proud of their hard work. We arrived early and made two trips down the buffet line, which at it’s peak included a half hour wait, and three… Read more →
Why Snail Mail is still better than E-Mail.
I used to live in New York. It seems so long ago now that I can barely remember what it was like to be an actual resident and not a visitor to the city that never sleeps – but the one memory that never fades is the sheer awesomeness of the converted bomb shelter on 13th Street where I lived… Read more →
Super Friends
Last night I enjoyed a much needed evening of crafts with Sara, Amelia, and Jodi (I’m working on making my own Hooter Hiders – following the instructions seen HERE) and while my placenta brain prevented me from photographing any of the impressive projects my friends are working on (Jodi’s making gorgeous table runners for her upcoming nuptials, Sara was working… 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 →
