To Each His Home

This book looks to be up my alley. Love the cover. Love the title. Book is available here. I first saw it here.

I think our homes say so much about us. Right now my home says, "I have so much potential, one of these days I will feel more pulled together. For now appearances are just not a priority, nor should they be. I am so happy, full of color and personality. I am welcoming. Lately I am not feeling too polished and tidy. I may look a bit tired, but I am so full of love."

Juno what these 2 were for Halloween?

These are some friends who are living overseas...clearly they still celebrated Halloween! The belly is real.
Well done McC's. Love this!



Love Domino. But this is so true!

We all heart Domino. I always look forward to getting it in my mailbox. This post, on "You are my fave", really made me laugh...it is so true.

Below is her list of how to get on the cover of Domino.

1. Have long hair and be extremely attractive so that every woman who reads the magazine wants to be you.


2. Be between the ages of 30-40 and have at least one small child. Bonus if the child is under the age of 2.


3. That child must be named Luca, Sophie, Lola, Matilda or something similar. You are automatically disqualified if your child is named something boring like John.


4. You must own a large apartment in Greenwich Village or Brooklyn. Southern California is acceptable if you've already met the previous 3 qualifications.


5. Your apartment must be perfectly decorated in a modern/hipster/no-country-kitchenish type of way.


6. You must own one designer piece of furniture. Preferably an Eames chair.


7. You have to have a cool job. Examples: magazine editor, stylist, interior designer, actress, model turned activist, photographer.


8. When asked about your style, you must simply say, "It just came together so easily. Over the years I gathered things from my travels. I guess I'm just naturally stylish."


P.S. Maybe I'll start growing out my hair, then I'll have the first 3 sorta covered...

We Love Rosebud!!!!

Welcome to the world sweet Rosebud! Portland (the Rose City) is love love loving Baltimore's newest resident!!!!

The Ultimate Byte

Chef Joe Capozzi is hilarious and talented. Check out the videos on his new site!


The Schnitzel video is my favorite - I love Schnitzel and I think he is so funny in this one.

I have sampled the meatballs - which M&L C made for a dinner party last week. Yum. Cool thing about that video...there is vintage footage of Joe's grandmother making the meatballs, it is her recipe. Good meatballs.

Full disclosure - Joe is a friend. However, he is also an amazing and accomplished young chef in NYC. I'd love to see him relo to PDX and open up a restaurant...

I am inspired by how he puts himself out there in these videos. I also really enjoy seeing the NYC scenery. Love it. Well done Chef Joe.

Males, Nails, Sample Sales

Per my previous confession - here is the book. Sorry the pix is so small.

You can buy it here. If you are female and looking for a fun read - buy it. If you are male, and looking to see what kind of books girlies like me consider to be "a fun read" - buy it. This book is mindless and silly...its not the best I have ever read, but I did thoroughly enjoy it...and then gave it as a gift (win win).


Here is a quick little snippet:


Of the items in the list, my fav is "Gourmet trail mix", since I do not heart camping or anything camp-related (e.g., trail mix). That topic should be another post.

Done!

This fine state could not make it any easier...

Mom Gear

My bff (the one that just had a baby girl TODAY) was so super cute as she packed up her hospital bag. Here are 2 darling things that went into the bag. These would be great gifts for a mom-to-be that you may know.

1. Fab Gowns

B.Y.O.G. (bring your own gown) - Why didn't I think of this??? (well, I did...but why didn't I produce and market it???). These gowns are adorable!!!


2. "Push Out Socks"


Both items are available on this site.

As previously posted, you can also buy great gowns here.

Being Green Takes Green

So sad but so true. It is not cheap to be green.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is Birdie's birthday!!!! Happy birthday beautiful! Enjoy the day! We love you!!!

Crick-Ette


Is it more difficult to give birth, or to wait anxiously across the country for updates while your best friend does it??? After the last 2 nights, I think the latter may be toughest! But alas, she did it!!! WKF is so excited about his new cousin!!! Our hearts are in Baltimore today!!!!
