I saw this post at Oh Happy Day on Monday and loved it. Jordan made big dream statements and three years later is almost there. OH MAN, HOW COOL. Paul and I have been talking a lot about our own BIG LIST recently and I jotted our main items down. It will take a bit…

We drove up to LA to celebrate 2011 with some of my college girlfriends and their boys. My photos are lame and I failed to capture many people…but if you need about 30 photos of sequins covering a table, I've got you covered. And to the sequin twins, I love you both. And then bright…

I went through my iPhoto again (2009 is here) and gave awards to some of my favorites. I tried to pull photos that I haven't posted yet on the blog (with a few exceptions). What a rad year. 2010 was one of the greatest I've ever had. But while doing it again would be fun,…

I love goals and resolutions. I've been thinking about these for about a month and finally, I got them nailed down. I am focusing on things that will take the whole year to accomplish and have divided them into two categories : personal and business. Today, I want to share the personal ones. It's a…

I can easily count how often I have seen my girls since we graduated in spring 2007 but it's amazing how when…

And about three hours north we go! Last year, at this time, we found out we would be moving from Maryland to San Diego. And today Paul got a call that his first choice for his GMO tour is available. And so : next we will be living in Ventura, California. A bit of background…

Happy Monday. This past weekend stretched on for so long. It might have been because Paul was home. He just finished his internal medicine rotation and started dermatology. Which means his work weeks dropped from 80 hours to about 40 hours. It goes without saying that 40 hours makes a big difference. Especially if you've…

This is our second year without a Christmas tree. Yesterday morning I picked up a small but real wreath to bring some green into our apartment. I had forgotten the power of that real pine smell. WOW. We'll be getting wreaths every year now, that's for sure. I am going to be updating my shop…
