Our Christmas cards were mailed out much earlier than last year’s card. I was a little more on the ball this year and made sure to order before I was crazed with orders. I usually like to design my cards–it makes it original, saves money and time. But I have found over the years that it…
Catching Fireflies
I can’t seem to get my children in bed before 9 p.m. during the summer because they like to catch fireflies. Our backyard becomes a nightclub of lightening bugs right at dark. My kids are getting good at catching them that it’s become a summertime favorite. I love little activites like this that create simple…
Eighties Child
I’m a child of the 80’s. All those great 80’s movies are happy memories of my childhood and are associated to something I remember. Music, recited lines, dance moves, 80’s style–Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club. They are still in my top 100 movie list. Love them all. Thanks…
Boy + Tricycle
I just love this picture of one of Sixx Designs‘s little boy riding his bike in their gorgeous house. My family had a long hallway growing up and we use to do that all the time. {via La La Lovely}
Reminiscing

Happy Birthday Stephen

The first picture has the title “Excuse me while I take a biggie” and was taken at Bar 89–if you ever go to SoHo stop by there for lunch just to use their awesome bathrooms….
Flip Book
I saw this post on Poppy Talk about how to make a flip book, and I just chuckled because I remember when we were young my brothers always made flip books when they were bored during church. Children are much more creative than adults.
Raw Sushi
My friend Becca sent me this picture of me when she came to visit this summer. I couldn’t help but share. In this picture I’m eating for the first time raw quail egg sushi. Becca, who was the first person to introduce sushi to me in 7th grade, convinced me to try one of her…
Happy Birthday Jonathan!
Happy Birthday to my older brother Jonathan! It was so fun talking to him today as he was working away at work. Hopefully I distracted him for a few. I think it’s finally hitting him that he is only getting older and those youthful days are quickly passing by. But he still looks young and…
