Time to choose a winner for our awesome Roll & Tumble giveaway. I really should stop doing giveaways of stuff I want myself because then I just really end up resenting the winner which definitely goes against my brand of super-friendly (ha!) dispenser of free handmade loveliness but you know what? I’d really kill for [...]
The sun has been hopping in and out of the clouds so much today, like some kind of bratty kid hyped up on sugar playing hide-and-go-seek and I feel like the grumpy old granny who’s babysitting him thinking, “You know kid, I wish you’d find some really good, remote hiding place so I can enjoy [...]
When I was a kid, people often used to say that you were “pressed over” something instead of “obsessed with” it, as in “You’re sooo pressed over your new shoes” or, “Yeah, I like him, but I’m not pressed over him or anything.” (Shrug.) I never really missed “pressed” when it graduated from my uber-hip [...]
Playing with Matches. Photographed Nikon D60, 18-55mm lens. Tonight we fly home for our wedding shower tomorrow. I’m excited to go home. Home is home and home is good.

I realized yesterday that I haven’t been talking much about the wedding here lately, which on the surface might seem strange, since this is a blog about my life and right now, the wedding is my life. But since the planning takes up so much of my free time, I usually like to fill up [...]
Last weekend we went down to our friend’s parents house in Connecticut for their annual July 4th party. Except “party” is really the grossest understatement you could assign to this gathering. There’s enough food there to feed a small army, as my mother would say, and probably enough alcohol to stock a neighborhood bar for [...]
Noon on the dot! That wraps up our Jenni Penni giveaway, folks. What a fun one it was! I don’t know if I mentioned this, but I freaking LOVE Jenni Penni’s work. Did I mention that? I. Jenni. Love. Mucho. So you can imagine the partial heart attack I had when I discovered her Flickr [...]
Today, we’re headed down southward to Connecticut for this massive 4th of July party our friend hosts every year. Promises to be good times with good people and amazing food (filet mignon burgers, anyone?). I’m hoping to get some good shots in with my new Nikon D60 (which I still need to officially blog about, [...]
