I’m in Toronto, checking off a few Lovely Life List items. Crossing the Canadian border… check. Giving a keynote speech… that’s happening tomorrow at BlogPodium. I’m excited (and a ...
I bought this pink ballet maxi skirt earlier in the month, and posted about not being sure how to pull it off. I still need to find a good black and white striped top (what kind of blogger am I to no...
post by Andrea I’m quite enamored with just about everything craft related, but I get especially excited when I get to create a piece of jewelry or another type of accessory. I was so happy whe...
All right, I’ve decided on a rug. I had to turn to my good friend Photoshop to help me figure out which would be the best in the space, and this pink and white one looked best. I found it thank...

Upside down Ns — they’re everywhere, gah! I love a good business card, don’t you? (p.s. My new cards still make me smile when I hand one out.) This photo series will blow you away. ZOMG. ...
Holly Becker of Decor8 has expanded her long-running course, Blogging Your Way, with a new 2.0 class for bloggers past the beginning stages. Holly is a supportive, open, and honest teacher, and IR...
Eleanor has been asking for a pair of skates for the past year, since she’s fascinated with mine. The wheels on her skates are plastic and terrible, but they’re adjustable (locked, rollin...
Our cats are jerks. They’ve destroyed the black and white striped rugs in the basement. Violet pees on them, Mabel poops, and Kili throws up. It’s quite the trio we have! (Jerks.) Mercifu...
This is why you should have a life list, à la Maggie. (Here’s mine.) On business and motherhood. I wish this camera was real. The best take on a flying carpet ever. This font automatically make...
I’ve been sort of planning a little redo for our main bathroom. Not in any real, concrete way, mind you. More of a “gee, we’ve lived here for five years and have never touched the s...
The train table in Eleanor’s room has been switched up. It shall henceforth be known as the ZOMGeverythinglookssocuteonthi slandscape™ table. I bought the landscape set because I figured it woul...
post by Andrea One of the things I think all women crave more of, especially women that love to create, is time. And if you’re a mother of young children, this rings even more true. My husband ...
I’ll be taking a photo of August sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing his pin each month until he’s two years old. I also took monthly photos of his older sister, Eleanor, until she turned two. I ...
I bought a pink ballet maxi skirt the other day. I had to think twice, even with a 25% off coupon in hand, but I love it. It’s so feminine! It’s so beautiful! It’s so impractical! I...
My little conductor train engineer turned three at the end of April. The big conductor train engineer turned 34, two days later. The party invitations promised train whistles and caps for all, and we...
Editors vs. writers. (And a good excuse to use a Tim and Eric gif. Plus, you guys saw this bonanza, linked to in a post Honor Roll, right?) The song! The story! Adobe CS6 will be out soon. (Ouch, I g...
Have you seen the “things I’m afraid to tell you” meme going around? Well, here’s my take on it. I’ve mentioned my love of math before, but here is the full scope. IR...
We needed flowers for Eleanor’s photoshoot, so she and I took a walk to the local florist. If there’s an upside to Chicago’s six months of cold temperatures and dead-looking landsca...
I took a monthly photo of Eleanor in the same Eames rocker, in the same spot in my living room, every month for two years. (I’m currently doing the same thing for her little brother, August, bu...
This post is sponsored by Method. I’ve shown you my laundry room before, all clean and new and shiny. Oh, you cute little joke of a drying rack! How adorable you were, yet how ineffective! We r...
I made this motley crew. Not to be confused with the Crüe, though that would be rad. Eleanor is old enough now to be interested in arts and crafts (YAY!), so we’ve been doing a lot of little pr...
How Technicolor works (and how some silver shoes famously became ruby slippers). Want to be a writer? Or a blogger? Or pursue something of any sort, really? Here’s why more time isn’t alw...
I’m never really one to finish a room and call it done. It’s more fun to tweak and look at my home as an ever-changing, evolving project. So I have a mini-makeover planned for EleanorR...
by Andrea My daughter turned seven last week and requested a mermaid themed pool party. While color schemes, garland and paper pom poms are an important part of a birthday bash, in our home the craft...
Style: With a Polka Dot Top My outfit was a last minute switcheroo, but I like it even more than the original one I was going to share. The sheer pink polka dot tights I had based my whole other look...
We had a rainbow party last year for Eleanor’s birthday, and I made really cute invitations for it. At the time, I didn’t offer a free printable version because I couldn’t think of ...
Would you break up with Facebook? (Or maybe you already have, or never joined in the first place?) PerchTastic. I think I need to spend a little more time in my perch. You know I’m a fan of Jen...
We’re having a party for Eleanor’s third birthday soon. She loves trains, and while searching google images for “Little Golden Books Trains”, I came across The Train to Timbuc...
A reader had asked me a seemingly simple question about how to choose lighting fixtures that work well from room to room, and I was inspired to create this entire lighting series to answer. Today, te...
