I recently saw this way to display ‘well loved’ objects over at the selby and immediately knew I wanted to do this.  The more loved a stuffed animals is the cuter it gets.  My son has one such friend, and many, many more that are loved, just not loved to near destruction.  A great way to display [...]

It felt sooo good to have a nice long weekend.  Sometimes it’s hard for me to stop working (a downfall to working out of your home/loving what you do, could be worse!).  This weekend, though, with warm perfect days it wasn’t so hard.  A few photos of the weekend. Tomorrow I will be doing a [...]

if only barely.  Pirate parties and bike rides were had, as our weather has been just gorgeous.  Danger boy (as our son is affectionately known), rode his bike into a parked car, flipped over the handle bars, and I am happy to report came away with only a scratch.  Lovely strangers helped us wash him [...]

So we live in the city.  Granted, this is Oregon, so it is very green city, but a city none the less.  Our neighborhood is just a hop from downtown.  Wildlife in our neighborhood consists of squirrels and the odd raccoon.  So coming home the other day and passing a coyote walking casually down the [...]

I am one of the featured mums today over at LMNOP.  It is so funny to read through all of the other mother’s answers to the questions we were asked.  The concensus seems to be the number one thing kids have taught us is patience.  Now truth be told, my kids have taught me patience, [...]

Of course, I couldn’t come away without a few little finds on my trip.  I didn’t go too crazy, though.  New York in a bag is one of those gifts you give to your child that you hope they bore of soon so you can take possesion.  I found this charming little book in the [...]

It was a wonderful, exhausting and inspiring trip.  Here are a few of my photos… Loved, loved our hotel.  We stayed at The Standard in the meat packing district.  Great views and highly entertaining people watching in the lobby.  We made the museum rounds, American Museum of Natural History (thanks Emily for the tip), MoMA and the Guggenheim.  [...]
