A tech filled lunch that helped me with my holiday shopping and might help you too!
November 14, 2017I was a guest at a Techlicious and Consumer Technology Association event In Seattle to lunch and learn about tech gift ideas for the holidays and as always the ideas and opinions in this blog are my own. I’m not always the earliest adopter of tech. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed and feel like […]

December 1st: let the advent-ure begin
December 3, 2015Can I tell you how overjoyed I am with this advent calendar project some lovelies in my life are making for me? I never could have anticipated how much these beautiful words could fill a heart more than all the stuff you can buy. But oh, how magical it’s been so far. My kids have […]

Travel wants on a Monday
November 9, 2015Oh if we could only curl up like pigs in a blanket and drink coffee all day in front of a fire today is the kind of Monday in Seattle that would warrant that. The rain is pouring, the heater is on and I just want to burrow somewhere toasty and not come out until […]

A visit to the Seattle Macy’s Secret Garden

Giving in to peer pressure is okay sometimes, right?
January 28, 2014I totally want these bubble glass lights my friend just put in her house. They don’t match anything I have-I would probably need to build a whole new bathroom just for them, but I can’t Stop. Thinking. About. Them. And I’ve seen this Nate Berkus for Target tray pinned quite a bit, and it might […]

Chilly Monday Shopping Wishes
December 9, 2013We have been on snowflake watch all morning and though we’ve seen a bunch of puffy clouds hanging in the chilly air we haven’t even had one teeny flake yet. I’ve been putting off today’s run because I’m so freezing cold. Hopefully some new running attire might help. I love my Athleta pants I bought […]

Five things on a Monday to make the day better
October 21, 2013I’m still pinching myself to make sure Domino magazine is actually back but it is and I have a copy in my hands. I love the instantly shop-able pages and it’s the loveliest read to peruse on a foggy Seattle Monday like this. (One of my sweet purchases even arrived today! Seriously, why aren’t more […]

Happy Monday Things
July 23, 2013I’ve been celebrating Mondays recently. Not only do they give me a chance to settle down and unwind after a weekend they also give me a chance to shop after a weekend of buying withdrawl while hanging out with the family. And that is probably the sweetest thing ever. So I love happy Monday things […]

I heart tea (and coffee) but right now I’m all Tea
June 10, 2013When I love something I fall hard. Like the mild obsession I had for earl grey tea ice cream that had us driving to Vancouver so I could get some at Bella Gellateria (arguably the best gelato ever!). Or my butter tart thing that has me salivate at the mere mention of JJ Bean. Or […]
Read Morelittle things getting me through monday
March 25, 2013Oh Monday morning. Today when I heard the pitter-patter of little feet, I didn’t want to get up so I threw the covers over my head and played a game called “Mommy’s hiding” until the littles gave up trying to find me and started a new game instead. And then I came up with the […]

Chocoron (Aoki Bakery, Paris)
June 29, 2012The boys are totally addicted to everything macaron, so I couldn’t help but squeal with glee when I found this lovely confection among the millions of macarons enticing shoppers in Paris. A chocoron. (English Translation: a heavenly macaron enrobed with chocolate). Oh and it was delightful. I wonder when we’ll start seeing these stateside. You […]
Read MoreThree things I want at Williams-Sonoma
May 11, 2012Maybe its gauche to say I want something three days before Mother’s Day, but it’s only because these silly catalogs keep coming all this week that I want so many things. And these things are really random and somewhat healthy so I thought I’d share. These are three things I’m likely going to buy myself […]
