Film Friday: “Yoga” With Two

We made a movie!  A simple one, but hey, something good enough to share for Film Friday, and that is pretty darn exciting. I enjoyed watching all of our old videos last week after we filmed Nora's birthday interview and so I decided I might[...]

Getting Stuff Done

It's two am and I really should be sleeping, but I'm having one of those nights when I can't stop myself from trying to catch up, at least a little, on my emails, website work, blogging, and a million other things.   One of the big downside[...]

Revisiting Resolutions

Do you still think about your New Years Resolutions?  (Did you make them in the first place?)  I've been thinking a lot about my resolutions lately and how I've been doing (or not) on them.  You may remember these were my goals fo[...]

Not June Cleaver

I love sitting in a clean house.  I love knowing that every room is picked up, the floors are fur free (at least until someone pets the dog -- NO ONE PET THE DOG!!), and there isn't a single dish festering in the sink; knowing that I can s[...]

Will Power…Or Not

For St. Patrick's Day/my birthday, I made car bomb cupcakes, then headed off to my monthly potluck group to share them with friends. Guinness, whiskey, baileys, and chocolate, what's not to love?  (P.S., that's St. Patty's green avocado fr[...]

Report Card

I know that come summer, when the sun stays up until 8:00, I'll be really glad for "spring forward" and how much easier it makes bedtime, but on days like this (during weeks like this), when I have multiple websites to work on, clients to meet w[...]

Dalai Lama

Chris found this Dalai Lama quote on Reddit and I thought it was worth sharing between working on websites. And also, there's this: We are following through with trying to sell our car, as per our New Year's resolution to simplify and[...]

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
