There’s no better way to explain my absence the last month than to finally share with you whas been taking up all my time. First, Birds and the Bees is moving to a new spot! I’ve been busy...
I’m so lucky to have one of the best guys on the planet for my Dad! A very Happy Father’s day to you and a big giant thank you for all that you do. xoxo
Headed to Los Angeles today to spend the weekend with one of my favorite people– Miss Natalie–soon to be Mrs. This weekend is her bridal shower and it’s my first time being a bridesmaid, so I’m...
Yesterday, I heard someone say that the temperature this weekend was going to be 106 degrees. I got sweaty and uncomfortable just thinking about it. Mind you, I’m already a bit sweaty and...
I spotted a yard sale the other day on the way home, just around the corner. It didn’t look too promising, but I’d spotted an old sewing machine and decided to walk over and take a gander. After a...
We were at the Farmers Market the other day, and I spotted some squash blossoms, I also got some cactus which I was pretty excited about. I’m a big fan of pretty things that taste good. There are a...
My parents just left for my Mom’s big surprise birthday weekend. I sent a bunch of goodies along with them and some more surprises along the way. I’m so glad all of you got to be part of it. She...
You may not know this about me, but I love surprises. As a perpetual planner, I like surprises– served both ways: I liked to be surprised because it frees me of my incessant need to plan, but...
I spent this last weekend in one of my favorite places–Arcata, California. My home for over eight years– it still feels so much like home. Nestled in the redwoods along the beautiful pacific coast,...
Whenever I eat strawberries I think about this book. You know, the one with the mouse and the big juicey strawberry? I couldn’t get enough of that book when I was little. One of my favorite things...
I am completely guilty of starting projects and never finishing them; I have a grave- yard of these lying around, but one of the many perks of making my schedule these days is getting to start...
The last couple of weeks have been consumed by pooches, packing and lots of planning. I am happy to say that all three have been met with progress. Gypsy graduated doggy school today, flying...
Almost 28 years ago, I won the lottery of a lifetime and became the daughter of this lovely lady. I couldn’t imagine being the daughter of anyone else. I’m not sure anyone else could put up with me...
My parents are in the process of moving into my grandparents’ house and selling their own. I grew up only ten minutes away–so this has always been my second home. The backyard is my favorite part,...
This has been the season of rooftops. With each new visit, I seem to find myself atop yet another one looking down at a new big ol’ beautiful city. I’m loving it. Ricki may have had the best view...
My trip to the Makerie was amazing, if you couldn’t tell from my last post. But after the Makerie was over, my good friend Ricki (who I hadn’t seen in far too long) picked me up and I spent the...
This year has been a crazy journey, a journey that one way or another, brought me to The Makerie. If you had asked me a year ago, as I worked down in my tiny kitchen dungeon, with no windows, no...
I haven’t done photos in a while and have started to feel a bit guilty, so I’ve been reminding myself every day for the last few days that Sunday is coming. These Sundays… they just come out of...
I was working on packing up my parents’ house today and I came across a couple of old gems. My mom has a great collection of my old drawings and books that I made growing up. Children’s artwork and...
We celebrated Easter early this year, on Friday at my uncle and aunt’s house in the mountains in Mariposa. I was looking forward to getting out of town for the day, eating some of my aunt’s...
Oh the things we do when we’re hungry. I was on a cleanse last week and trying to distract myself as much as possible from thinking about the food I wanted to eat. Needless to say, there wasn’t any...
I’ve been keeping a little secret all week and it was a hard one to keep. I wanted to make sure we were the right home for her and I wasn’t being crazy before I introduced her to the rest of the...
Dying eggs has always been one of my favorite things to do come Easter time. I love the color against the stark white of the shell, it’s always a surprise. Bon Appetite recently did a big write-up...
It’s been busy here lately. I’ll explain Friday–if all goes well. The rain has finally come for a visit. I love the rain this time of year in California, the sun sneaking in here and there. Outside...
Good ideas often come to me in the strangest of places. This particular one happened in REI yesterday while I was shopping for a raincoat of all things (on a beautiful sunny 80 degree day). The...
Back home in California, for now, just in time for the first day of Spring. After a few solid weeks of rain and snow, I was practically foaming at the mouth for sunshine. My trip, up and down the...
Back in Portland! I didn’t originally feel like I’d been gone that long, but now that I’m back and seeing everyone–it feels like ages. It’s raining a lot…big surprise. It’s been so nice to see...
Where did Sunday come from?! I was busy thinking about leaving to Portland tomorrow and remembered it’s Sunday! wasn’t it just Sunday? I am racing the clock trying to share some pictures with you....
Hello from Washington! It’s lovely here–just like a postcard. My brother and Sister-in-Law’s home is surrounded by the beautiful Cascades–Bob Ross would pee himself. There’s been plenty of crisp...
Los Angeles has been very good to me. Sadly, tomorrow is my last day. From the moment I arrived it’s been nothing but great food, friends, adventures and lots of belly laughing. My face still hurts...
