Petite Lemon Prints

Children’s photography seems to have trends, just like fashion. For awhile, everyone would dress their kid up in costumes to do fun photos. Then there was the sepia-toned trend. And let’s not forget the always-popular “black and white photo of newborn cradled in hand” photos. One thing I can say for sure: any of these [...]

What are on your kids’ walls right now? Mine are covered in posters: one room has Mario and cars; the other, kitty cats and panda bears. There are so many great options for kids’ room decor now, and some of them are considerably more elegant and refined than posters! Framed artwork for children can be [...]

We’re kicking it old school when it comes to tracking our kids’ growth. Yep – we are using pencil marks on a wall in our home. I always see such clever growth charts and keepsakes out there. I really wish I had bought one when my son was first born. Now that my kids are [...]

Over $14 billion dollars was spent on Valentine’s Day-related purchases in 2009, according to this article by USA Today. That’s a lot of chocolates and flowers. I really enjoy getting flowers. I’m not much of an artsty-craftsy person, however, and every time I receive flowers, I struggle to make them look like a picture perfect [...]

What do you do with all of the fantastically creative artwork that your kiddos bring home every day from school? Shhhhh. Don’t tell my kids this. But I cherry-pick the good ones for display on our refrigerator and the rest…stay on the counter until they “disappear.” Ahem. There’s just so much of it, and we [...]

Jonathan Adler Junior Pillows

Let me start out by saying that I really like Jonathan Adler’s stuff. The flamboyant and blunt designer has a really great line of merchandise. I love the vibrant colors, big prints and sense of humor that he brings to the products in his line. However, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again [...]

Modern Birth Announcement

It took me weeks and weeks to send out announcements when my kids were born. I had to have the perfect announcement: it had to be unique, and modern, and something no one had ever seen before. Really, instead of spending hours poring over announcement designs, I should have been sleeping. If I had seen [...]

Say It With Vases…Flatly

If you were to inspect my kitchen cabinets, you’d find an entire shelf (or more) devoted to…vases. Most are the simple, hourglass-shaped variety that one receives when, ahem, one’s husband forgets to buy a gift on Mother’s Day and has to run out to the grocery store that morning to get the last sad pot of [...]

Quote The Walls

About ten years ago, I rented a charming and extraordinarily expensive rowhouse in San Francisco with my now-husband. It was built in 1885 and still had many of the original details. The kitchen, however, had been remodeled by the landlord. She was a true romantic, and she had lovely quotes about food and cooking stenciled onto [...]

Ever have a speaker emergency? You’re in a hotel room. You’ve got your MP3 player on and your earbuds in your ears. But wait! Your spouse is there. You’re enjoying a rare night alone without kids. You’d really like to turn up some Air Supply and rock the house, but you didn’t pack bulky speakers [...]

Evoluxe Organic Soy Candles

Fun fact: regular old candles are not the most environmentally friendly things around. Apparently, things like petroleum byproducts and additives are used in lots of manufactured candles. This is a serious bummer because I love candles and have scads of them around the house. The good news? A gal right here in Austin, Texas is [...]
