This is a personal motto of mine. There is nothing more fun than ending the weekend with a good show and a chocolate dessert on Sunday night. When I was young (in the 80's) Disney used to show movies on Sunday evening on CBS. Some of my favorite memories are eating dessert while watching Disney with my family. I've tried to carry on...
As I was perusing this month's InStyle magazine (which, btw is an amazing fashion read) I fell in love with all the pastel shoes this season. From Stuart Weitzmen, AGL at select Nordstroms, Stacey Bendet, Guess, J. Crew and the above ice cream inspired Charlotte Olympia sweet treats shoes, pastel footwear is in this season and it is adorable! Now, there is no...
This Valentine's Day my husband took me on a very memorable date. It started off confusing and a bit strange. To begin, my husband is a huge foodie so when we were dating and for a couple of years after we were married, we would go out to eat on the weekends at whatever new/hip restaurant would open in Salt Lake City....
Oh goodness, I need a long vacation from stuff. I re-read my post from yesterday and laughed and laughed. All I kept thinking of is this image (ps, my 4 year old just saw this picture and said, "I want that plate for my birfday!").... Happy Valentines day! And here's to hoping you get to eat some delicious filet mignon and not filet...
I love Valentine's day. It's funny how the meaning of Valentine's day transforms as you grow older. Now with 3 kids, elementary school and preschool it's less about romance and more about getting 50+ valentine cards bought, signed and ready for the class party. (not to mention the time and energy that goes into helping your child find that perfect valentine card that...
We have a wonderful program at my children's school that teaches about various artists called, Meet the Masters. I am one of the many volunteer-moms that teach the kids about artists and their styles. This month we are studying Piet Mondrian. He is commonly known for his paintings using primary colored squares or rectangles and flat black lines. The kids did a...
This sums up the first half of my life and it makes no sense, no sense at all! How does that apply to decorating? All the many places I've lived and visited have had an effect on how I design my life. I do know that I am always on the search for new ways to change the look and feel of my...
My sister's little boy just had his first B-day! Which means my other nephew's birthday is right around the corner. They posted some cute pics of this sweet guy. Happy Birthday!!! I miss baby birthdays... well I actually miss babies in general. Their chubby cheeks, that thrill when you get them to smile at some ridiculous face you just made or something you...
The thought of decorating for Holidays is fun. I could spend hours looking at ideas and projects (I don't, but I could). Sometimes I even go so far as to purchase the materials to make the project. THEN... ... between running the kids to and from school (& preschool), homework, dance, X-fit, sports, music lessons, play dates, dinner and keeping the house...
About 6 years ago (holy cow has it really been that long?) I met a girl named Susan Petersen who moved into the neighborhood. From the moment I met her I could tell she was an entrepreneur at heart. She was very talented and incredibly inventive. We did a few boutique shows together when I was making and selling baby blankets and burp...
