First of all, how gorgeous is Emma? I know, right? A couple of weeks ago, Scott and I got our asses out of bed, and trudged over to the Marmalade Cafe, to meet Emma and Mike for brunch. (This was back when I was still allowed to eat those delicious potatoes they serve.) I arrived looking haggard and… Read more →
Category: Stuff I Would Buy if I Could
2nd Trimester Basic Maternity Must-Haves
In the first trimester, my only must-have was a barf bag and some zofran, but now that my 2nd trimester is coming to a close, there are a few items, clothing and otherwise that I simply could not do without. Here they are in no particular order… The Snoogle The single most valuable item I have purchased during the course… Read more →
Nesting Fever
My brain is a mysterious beast that’s near impossible to wrangle at times. You might think that all of the redecorating/reorganizing that NEEDS to be done over the next four months would keep my obsessive need for constant change at bay, but looking at paint chips and spending inordinate amounts of time on the DwellStudio site (+ making time sucking… Read more →
Oh, Nanna Ditzel.
Nanna Ditzel, Danish design’s leading lady, gives me something else to drool over, with her stunning (and now, quite expensive and hard to find) high chair, circa 1955. I’ve always day dreamed about a few of her wicker egg chairs hanging on the back patio, and (thanks to the always enlightening Alex) I can now add this children’s piece to… Read more →
OMFG. Ellen, I love you.
Every year, Ellen hosts a special Mother’s Day show for first time Moms. (The pic above is from last year’s show, and that beautiful little girl just so happens to be Jett, my friend Cindy’s daughter.) It’s like Oprah’s favorite things, but with awesome baby crap. Well…this year, I’m a first time Mom, and when I heard that she was… Read more →
Swank-City
I stumbled across these swanky bar stools in modernbangalow’s eBay shop. They break down into shippable size, and the starting bid is only $199. You should snag them so I don’t have to…we’re trying to save for a baby here, people. We have a bar in our house (in a little area just south of the front door that we… Read more →
I want this.
Scott and I are preparing to re-arrange our living room (we’re geminis, we bore easily…) and despite the fact that the whole purpose of the rearrange is to NOT buy any new stuff, I can help but troll eBay for a better room divider than what we have now. I found this one, and I want it. Alas, unless the… Read more →
Addicted to tiny gold necklaces.
Another beautiful necklace I’m probably not buying myself from Virginia Geiger Jewels. Read more →
Pedagogy
Having nothing to do with it’s actual meaning, ever since I first learned the word in Mr. Dewey’s 5th Grade Class, I have always connoted “Pedagogy” with some sort of weird sickness. To this day, anytime I see something made up of small and large dots my brain goes to Pedagogy – no matter how beautiful that something is. Take… Read more →
I want this.
To put in my bathroom. It’s a magazine stand. See? Read more →
