This whole not buying any new clothes until I’ve worn or discarded of everything in my closet thing? It’s hard. Like, really hard. I had no idea that I would have like desperate withdrawal-style urges to shop. Apparently I’m an emotional shopper and stripping myself of that vice has left me in search of new ways to occupy my mind.… Read more →
Category: Stuff I Would Buy if I Could
Don’t Lick the Dog
When Dee was born, one of the trainers Scott works with gave us this genius book — Given her Daddy’s line of work, we knew lady George would be exposed to a high volume of Pups (and boy is she ever – we’re lucky this girl doesn’t think she’s a puppy!) so Don’t Lick the Dog was one of the… Read more →

Did I Tell You Guys About The Time I Interviewed Gwen Stefani?
I first saw Gwen Stefani perform live at KROQ’s Weenie Roast in 1993.

And HOW, pray tell, could I be her immediately?… Read more →

Can I Move In?
We’ve lived in the same spot for five years, and as you may know, every so often I get a serious redecorating bug. Like right now. I’ve got it bad. Ever since we rearranged the place before Dee was born, I haven’t quite been able to get my living room to take shape. Literally every other area of our house… Read more →
I have the sudden urge to gut a building.
Because I would fill it with these corrugated walls by MOLO Design. They make entire structures out of cardboard and paper. It’s sick. (In the good way. Like how you used the word in the ’90s.) The above are parts of their display from Dwell on Design. I could have spent hours in there, but I’m bad with time, so… Read more →
Cool Stuff for Kiddos
I always have big plans to do huge posts about the genius of all these cool things I find, but instead, I’m just going to embrace my scattery life, and do a roundup of the kid stuff that I’m going goo-goo for these days….whether I own it or not. The Teddy Bag converts into a table and chair for your… Read more →
