This is one of my very favorite pictures. I took it when my oldest was not even two years old. The sun was streaming through the window into the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment in the NYC suburbs. She was enjoying breakfast, if I remember correctly. Probably oatmeal with blueberries. The crazy chair is […]
Items of Interest.
Is it really October 19th?! Where is October going? I’ve been super busy with work and kids and other things. So I haven’t been over here much. This is what I’ve been up to while I’ve been away from you, Dear Readers. (I miss you!) *Watching the mountains turn gorgeous shades of orange, red, and […]
Fritzy Boy.
This is my little guy, Fritz, last year when he turned 4. What do you think of the fabulous cake? (Please note sarcasm. My vision was not realized.) Today he turns 5. It’s been a long, productive year for him. He attended a special ed/speech preschool and finally started talking. It was a blessing for […]

Tania’s Birthday.
This is my dear, sweet friend Tania who I met years ago when I still lived in New York. I’ve mentioned her a few times before. She is one of the greatest women and mothers I know. One of my favorite memories of Tania was when she came to visit me and bring me dinner […]
Kitchen Must-Haves.
My husband, bless his heart, has been the master of gift giving as of late. The man can do no wrong in this department anyway. He has a sixth sense and manages to buy me something I would have never bought for myself, but soon can’t live without. Because we’re on such a tight […]
S.M.A.R.T. Goals.
Last Sunday, a friend of ours gave an awesome talk in church on setting goals. As soon as he started, I knew it was going to be good so I pulled out a paper and pen to take notes. At his work, they use an acronym when they set goals–S.M.A.R.T. (You can read more about […]
Sometimes I Bake Wedding Cakes.
In January, I made a wedding cake for these two lovely people. Meet Samantha and Chas Kelly. Even if I wasn’t related to them (by marriage) I would love and claim them as my own. (Sam is an amazing artist, by the way. She has an Etsy shop called Can You Hear Me? You should […]
Open Plan Kitchen
Last week I saw this kitchen from Rainer Spehl over at Blue Ant Studio. I really dig it. Funny enough, it sort of reminds me of the kitchen I had in NY. (But in a fond way.) This kitchen has ten times more counter space. There’s just this part of me that loves exposed […]
Red
Red is the new black in my book. I can’t get enough of it. (Right to left, top to bottom) Waring Pro Blender, Infinity Instruments Retro Round Metal Wall Clock, Buick Red Bread Bin from Typhoon, Buick Red Funky Scale from Typhoon (I have the Italian Job Scale in Red), Vintage Red Sugar Caddy from […]
