This is one of those projects I usually come up with, that sound like a great, relatively easy–to–do idea, and then end up taking a lot of time and work. But that’s why I love it. Probably doesn’t have any etsy potential because the price I’d have to set for it to be worth my […]
Joaquin’s newborn sleep gowns. How I loved them, how I loved them. Incredibly, although they’re made for babies up to three months old, they still fit him. The only reason why I stopped using them is that my baby is very mobile now and really needs his legs.
So a few days ago, I was ready […]
A few months ago Petie, Chris and I were talking about poor blog writing, and I was telling them about Maggie Mason’s book “No one cares what you had for lunch”. It may surprise you then, that I’m about to tell you what I just had for dinner, but hear me out people… I know […]
Apologies to my regular readers for the recent obsessiveness with pregnancy topics, and the narrow subject matter of this post. This one is for all pregnant women in desperate search for maternity jeans, who even before getting pregnant have the hardest time finding pants that fit well. Anyone?…

Without any doubt, Ralph Lauren’s “Hopsack” paint color was absolutely gorgeous in our previous home. During the weeks before moving to Salt Lake City neither of us was thinking clearly, and in a frantic attempt to pick a color for the new house, we went with Hopsack again… Craso error, since this house doesn’t have […]
While Joey is currently consumed by the thought of replacing a large percentage of our randomly yellow grass with large beds of water-wise plants (i.e. xeriscaping), I am experiencing some kind of weird devious urge to grow plants. Not only grow them… The actual urge is to grow plants from seeds or pits, and bonsai […]
Having a boring day? I have a suggestion for ya: Make a digital snow flake.
A few nights ago I spent an hour playing and made these 15 pieces. As an experiment, I tried to make a real one by folding a sheet of paper and attempting to cut it… FAILED MISERABLY. With so many folds […]
It’s always cool to try new things
