I have a weakness for sea glass. I’ve been collecting it since I was a teenager and serendipitously stumbled upon my first piece while beach combing in Monterey Bay, California. Want to see my first piece ever? How cute is it that I found a heart? It was love at first sight. Do you know about sea glass? People look at me sideways when I tell them I collect it in little jars all around my house. Sea glass is…

Soon after little O was born, while we were still in the hospital, Mike started singing “Octopus’s Garden” to him, and it just seemed to fit. This has now become a special song that we associate with our son. In fact, I even had Mike paint an octopus’s garden on my cast that I have as I’m recovering from foot surgery. I ran into a little trouble in the beginning however. I couldn’t quite remember all the lyrics to the…

There are some pretty clever ways to hang your photos these days, but the magnetic photo rope from photojojo? the coolest by far. The possibilities are endless. I’m thinking it would be a perfect way to feature rotating works of art from the kinders, lovely notes, and happy vacation photos. It’s the perfect solution to living in a rental abode as well, you only have to put a tiny pushpin in the wall to display several photos. Magnetic Photo Rope$12…

Okay, so here’s another thing I’ve picked up on as a brand new mom. There’s some more stuff that I have to store now, and have handy. Like diapers and changing supplies. Before the baby came along, I just imagined that every time I would change his diaper, I’d be taking him into his nursery to that perfect changing station that I’d already set up. As it turns out, that’s not so much a reality. Right now, little O sleeps…

I’m spending the day in the city today minus the kids, + the husband doing whatever it is we please for the whole darn day. The thought of so much uninterrupted kid time leaves me a bit speechless, and frankly I’m buzzing with excitement. Later tonight we’re headed up to Park City for a tweet-up gathering at the Sundance Film Festival. Soy muy excited! Since I won’t be home at all today I thought I’d leave something for your perusing…

There are few things that make me happier than freshly laundered sheets and a tidy, made-up bed. There’s nothing fancy about it {except maybe the high thread count sheets-I’m a complete devotee, they’re worth every penny} just a few pillows, a duvet, and some IKEA bedding. But it has such a nicely pulled together look doesn’t it? Looking at it right now makes me want to crawl on top with a good book and a cup of cocoa. Mmmmmm. I’m…
