Happy Friday!

“And Lincoln wasn’t a douchebag, so he was like ‘ok, I’ll meet with him!” “Shh. I get it. I know. I know who you are. It’s been explained to me. I’ve been following your career forever. Be quiet. I’m into it. Let’s talk.” Some losers won’t let me embed it, but you should watch it. [...]

Sick on your Birthday should not be allowed.

Sheesh. It has been a rough few days. Pete has been deathly ill since Friday, so I have been single parenting- and let me just tell you. My hats off to any of you who actually are. I do not have the constitution for it, I discovered last night when I just started weeping after [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Because I know all any of you want is to see pictures of other peoples Christmas trees. You probably haven’t gotten enough in your facebook newsfeeds. So here is ours! And our Santa Chute: You like those stockings? Thanks! They are part of the FEED Project and each stocking provides half a year of micronutrients [...]

Ombre

There is pretty much no way to not sound like a total jerk when saying the word “Ombre”. Try it. No matter what you sound like Giada deLaurentis when she goes from speaking with her SoCal accent to all of a sudden being super Italian, “Oh mah gah, have you ever seen such a beautiful [...]

Bits. **UPDATE**

I hadn’t even thought about trying to sell the koozies…I have been making do by obnoxiously handing them out at every party I attend and to every guest who walks through our door, but now y’all have my wheels spinning. Some things have been in the works for awhile, I’ll let you know what I [...]

Next: Childhood

I kind of don’t know where to begin with this post. If you are really into food, feel free to read on, and if you don’t so much care just scroll down to the pictures to see some pretty amazing stuff. So y’all all know by now that I favor the whimsical and nostalgic, I [...]

This is probably not news…

…To anyone who does not have a baby attached to their person at all times. But just in case you didn’t know, I wanted you all to be made awares of this. It rocks my face off. The whole concept of Beyonce and JayZ is tricky for me. Tricky in that it brings up some [...]

TMI **Update**

Hi Guys… I don’t really know how to say this, but I think we need to take a break. I never intended to write a blog that was so personal, but all of you amazing readers were so kind and welcoming and let’s face it, I am prone to oversharing. Now that we have Gracie [...]

Blessed.

This weekend Pete and I had our friends and family in town for a house warming party and to celebrate Gracie’s christening. I don’t know what kind of crazy it makes me that I thought it was a good idea to move into a new home in a new city with a newborn… …And then [...]

It’s fall!

My most favorite season. Not that it is that pronounced in the southern climes we currently find ourselves in. But my fingerling potatoes are very festive. Look at them in their olive/military green finery. I was recently told olive green is “my color” and as I am VERY receptive to compliments about my physicality these [...]
