My instagram feed has started to fill with fresh snow falls and all white powdery goodness which has me feeling all sorts of feels. Excited for the holidays, but sad I won’t be heading back to Michigan again this year and while I shouldn’t complain about Southern California weather, it is this time of year that I […]
I’ve been doing some more e-design work as of late, which can mean a lot of online furniture shopping, which also happens to be my favorite kind of shopping. This room (aside from the print which is one of mine) can all be purchased online with most of the pieces even available at large retailers. I recently presented this […]
For all the years I’ve slacked off on getting a holiday card together in time, this year we made up for it, for Archie’s sake of course. Baby’s first Christmas after all needs to be properly documented and celebrated. For me the shooting and the designing and the printing and the mailing of cards just […]
My parents are visiting from Michigan, so on Sunday we headed down to Palm Springs to scope out the A-frame, start making plans, and treat my mom and dad to some r&r in the desert. Hopefully I sufficiently buttered them up enough to get some more free labor (like on the Michigan cabin) once the […]
Yay for the holidays, downtime, family, and lots of good food. I am so looking forward to all of it. This year we are planning to have Thanksgiving at the new A-frame, as long as it is habitable at that moment, and I am already packing my virtual bag. A cozy sweater wrap to hide the […]
Once in awhile you come across a new product that is life changing and you want to shout about it from the rooftops, “HELLO HELLO LOOK AT THIS!”, and the new Owlet Monitor is one of those goodies, in a major way. In short, it is a smart sock for your baby, which sends an […]
I am ‘squirming in my seat excited’ to share some news that is two-fold, a teensy bit bitter and a lot bit sweet. First, while we were in the mode of big changes over here… we sold our cabin in Michigan! Ok, as I type this I am getting a little sentimental and feeling that […]
Our laundry room is starting to shape up to the room of my dreams! In case you missed it… we started from scratch with this room. Previously the washer and dryer was directly next to the dishwasher and in the same cubby room as the refrigerator as well. We knocked down the wall dividing that […]
I was wearing a dress from Urban Outfitters recently and my friends couldn’t believe that it was from UO and that I was shopping at UO. ha! Little did they know I shop from there often. Yes, a lot of their items aren’t luxe quality and it can swing wayyyy more boho than me, […]
For the first time since I can remember, I planned a costume out further than the day before Halloween. I mean, I have a baby now so I felt it was my duty. Seeing kids dressed up has always been the best part so when my niece told me she wanted me to be Ariel, […]
Happy Friday folks, we made it. I hope you are reading this dressed up in an amazingly ridiculous costume while your co-workers give you the sideways stink eye. I am typing this as Ariel at the moment, however at home it doesn’t make as much of an impact. Archie and our new studio manager seem […]
Last holiday season, I was very pregnant and very late to the decorating game (I shared our Christmas decor on December 30th, whoops). We were also just coming off all the major renovations, so empty walls were pretty much a thing. This year, I am trying to put all the finishing touches I have left hanging, BEFORE […]
It was one of those weekends that flashed by in a nano-second and didn’t feel much like a break, but we did manage to steal a moment to plunge into a neighbor’s pool. This was also a very fitting image for the weekend because I have had this song on repeat yet again, now that Børns has […]
Last week I headed out to one of my favorite spots in the desert, Korakia Pensione. Seeing as they don’t allow children, I didn’t think I would be headed back for a while. However, luck of all lucks, I worked on a shoot with Sunset Magazine in Palm Springs which landed me happily in the charming oasis. Even […]
We are still waiting hard on the sweater weather to come to LA and while we are in our eternal summer bubble, I am taking full advantage. Technically, you could put a denim jacket over the top and add a closed toe pump to make it a titch more fall-ish, but last week I had a […]
Happy monday… we are just getting settled back in from our roat trip to Mexico! We did some serious glamping, introduced Archie to all sorts of new sites, and danced under the stars. I’ll be sharing more about the route once I get through the zillion photos I took and recover from the post vacation […]
