Is it me or is there a serious lack of attractive affordable bedding out there? Anthropologie has some good stuff, but can get really expensive really fast. Pottery Barn can be cute, but it can also be super marginal and granny. I was surprised to find some good things from Garnet Hill when I was [...]
I started with 35 pounds to lose, last week I had 33, and this week I am at 32 pounds to go. Not as much as I would have liked, but not a total loss seeing as Pete brought me back Laduree Macaroons from New York. And my approach to handling temptation is to make [...]
SHOCKED by all of your depravity. Carrot Top?? REALLY!? Who knew all of my readers were a bunch of filthy perverts. I’d go cheese FOR SURE!!! I think a lot of you Carrot Top choosers didn’t consider that maybe society would consider sweating cheese to be an incredible gift/skill. You could be the patron saint [...]
…Make out with Carrot Top for 27 minutes or sweat cheese for a year? That’s a tough one, no? But our real predicament is a lot less foul and has to do with the seating situation in our kitchen. When Pete and I moved in together, and in Chicago, we had Louis Ghost Chairs around [...]
**UMM…** Ok guys, I had to delete that post. I think that was literally the weirdest thing I have ever posted. It’s almost like I was blackout drunk when I wrote it. But I haven’t been drinking. Suzanne–Maybe you are right and it is delirium from hunger. But whoa. Sorry about that. I am going [...]
Thank you all for your comments and emails yesterday! So much support and so many great tips. So far I have Tracy Anderson post-pregnancy, Tracy Anderson cardio, and Slim in 6 DVDs I am going to do during Gracie’s naps, and I am going to look into Bar Method classes in Austin. I also signed [...]
Is stressful! Pete is leaving me for the weekend alone with BabyG…For like, 4 days. On one hand I am excited for lots of momma baby time, on the other I look like a less cute version of this puppy all “Oh no!! How am I going to eatshowergotothebathroom!!!!” Which might not be the worst [...]
Look, Caitlyn! LOOK!! There is a way to incorporate Americana and boy stuff into fun design! Those are Lincoln portraits for GodSakes! And MAPS!! Lady…We got this! We still have to get rid of Mombo, but otherwise we are good. For everyone else living with manstuffs and inherited collections, check how fierce and flabby-us they [...]
Right now, if you were a betting person, I would not put money on me ever getting my act together to have the house photographed. So for now, please accept these humble iPhone pics of Gracie’s playroom/our family room. Her circuit is in the non-photographed corner of the room…I can accept their necessary presence in [...]
We haven’t done one of these guides in awhile. In the beginning we did really well without too much stuff. Then, around 3 months the stuff sneakily starts to proliferate. Because, you see, for us at least around 3 months Gracie really went from a primarily dormant creature, to a real little person. And that [...]
