Exciting News! BlogHer selected one of my posts (a secret post published anonymously long ago, which recently re-appeared as a credited guest post on Toy With Me). So…do you get where I’m going with this? I’m VERY honored to be a BlogHer Voice of the Year. I’m even MORE honored because THIS POST was given the commendation last year, so… Read more →

Envy. Betrayal. Murder. While Supplies Last.
It’s 2:30 in the morning and I’m so tired my eyes are literally crossing, but I just wanted to say a quick enormous THANK YOU to those of you have been taking The Seriously Official Reader Survey of The818. It’s been a super intense couple of weeks here, life-stuff-wise, and getting to read all about you lovelies while I… 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 →

I’m about to get all give-y.
{That is an actual picture I took on Sunset Blvd, 12/26/2005.} The Holidays are upon us. We’ve put up our Christmas Tree (Hannukah Bush) and I’ve dusted off the Menorah. But I still have literally TWO BOXES FULL OF STUFF in my office just waiting to be given away to you guys. And in those two boxes? Some… Read more →
Cool or Crazy?
Getting dressed has always been a little bit of a roulette game for me ~ I’ve been known to wear something because I think it’s “funny” and I assume everyone else will get the joke. {According to my husband and Sara ~ who are basically the same personality anyway ~ this does not always translate.} When I’m not sure if… Read more →
L-O-L-A, Lola.
I don’t think I brag about this little ray of sunshine nearly enough. She’s my littlest niece and she is just a crazy crackup who I miss every single day. Her big Sister is a sensitive little creature, and we’ve always had a very special thing going. Little Lo’s got thick skin and is ready to take on the world… Read more →
Finally, a punching bag for my design lust.
Since I seem to like to spread myself thin like peanut butter and jelly lately (actually that’s a complete lie, I like to spread my PB & J thick and gooey) I’ve joined up doing a once-a-month Nursery Style post for the newly launched and super awesome Kidlet! My beloved Miss Mandy of Harper’s Happenings launched this daily dose of… Read more →
Momversation
My Mom is…a little bit internet challenged. Like, she called me once and asked me how to “do” Amazon.com. No, seriously. I’m not trying to be funny. That happened. To be clear, I’m not mocking my Mom. I mean, I am, but I also totally admire her in lots of ways. She’s my creative soul sister, she… Read more →
Sweet Child o’ Mine.
The most exciting thing about my new gig over at Cargoh is watching the marketplace fill up with all of these insanely talented people. I try to keep my new-mom-ness from exploding all over my work, so in an effort to save Cargoh readers from having to sift through feature after feature about the awesome kid-related stuff, I’m going to… Read more →
