Back when I was a bride-to-be, my Mom and I decided to stop in at Barney’s one sunny afternoon and try on wedding gowns. Y’know….just for fun to pass the time. Not because there was actually ever a consideration for one second that I ever would/could WEAR a Vera Wang gown… But here’s the thing: putting on that gown (especially… Read more →

Twitter is Magic
At the risk of looking like some kind of weird DwellStudio junkie by posting about them twice in one week…So, you know how I am like totally a junkie for DwellStudio? Well…lately, Crib Bumpers have been a big topic of discussion in this household. It’s a bit of a hot-button topic in the whole e-mom community actually, (to use, to… Read more →
Milkstars; A Love Story
Uh huh. That is a picture of me breast feeding my child. On the internet. With my boob out of my shirt. And I’m not even campaigning for anything. Look closely. See that shirt I’m wearing? That is a Milkstars nursing top. Can you see my nipple? [No, thirteen year old boys googling breastfeeding hoping for pictures of boobs and… Read more →
Procrastinators Rejoice.
If you didn’t already know this about me, I’m a big time procrastinator (um, hello birth story? …unless of course you are a present or potential employer, in which case I have the work ethic of an Ox.) Anyway – with the arrival of Sweet Dee and you know, other stuff, I never got around to ordering those birth announcement/holiday… Read more →
Flaming Ball of Love
I first discovered the Fireorb as an option on the IT House during our brief but lovely foray into PreFab ownership. Oh, the good ‘ol days. Anyway – how cool is this fireplace? It’s like part Jetsons, part Vegas-in-the-Sinatra-days. Designed by Architect Doug Garofalo, this is the stuff dreams are made of, and the fall chill that’s finally found… Read more →
The Cute, The Unnecessary, and The Frivolous
It’s easy to get lost in the sea of baby gear that you start to convince yourself you’re going to need. Snuggle Nest? Miracle Blanket? Video Monitor? Wipes Warmer? Seat Saver? Vulli Teether? It’s maddening, and lately I find myself staring over the edge of the panic cliff wondering if I’ve just outfitted my baby with a room… Read more →

Killing me softly (Ikea 2010)
Labor Day weekend, and all it’s panic-inducing implications, found Scott and I once again trolling the (jam packed, nightmarish) halls of our favorite mecca of affordable Scandinavian Home Furnishings. This time we were only there for some antique stain (to ensure our changer top matches our Crib) and a single bolt that was missing when we picked up the original… Read more →
I want it.
Have you seen the commercial for The Beatles: Rock Band? Aside from being a pretty cool commercial, I am so psyched about this game. Scott and I are pretty good at RockBand. Worldclass, in fact. Our super awesome band COQUESAH has a plane and roadies and everything, and I’m not afraid to admit I’m kind of proud of that. … Read more →
