Sorry to do two sponsor posts in a row, but I just had to share these photos with you. Our newest sponsor is talented photographer Robert Vega. He did a great job shooting my baby shower so I had him back to take some photos of our new little family unit and some shots of the nursery. I'm not yet revealing the nursery pics, but here are some of the ones he did of us and Bry-man. Read more

Moving to LA has made me appreciate a good burger. Burgers seem to be ubiquitous with the land of sunshine and automobiles. LA is home to In-N-Out, Tommy's, Father's Office, Umami Burger, the Bucket, and Oinkster to name just a few of the low and high brow options that abound in our city. McDonald's, the chain who really brought the burger to the rest of the world, has stiff competition in the... Read more
With the addition of a diaper bag to the various items I now have to tote around (never mind the fact that I am toting around the actual baby who now weighs in at over 10 pounds!), it seems like a good time to downsize my purse. While I will always love my Gucci Horse Bit Hobo that I got for a steal, I think it weighs a good 5 lbs with nothing in it. Time to get a lightweight bag that won't fall... Read more
Back before Bryan I did a post mentioning my plans to install draperies in the master bedroom. If you recall, the main window looked like this.The plan was to install these draperies, this rod and then paint the rod gold so the end product looked like this:Viola - so far so good. Not sure if I am going to do the antique gold on the rod or not. I may keep it black. What do you think?Next step... Read more
Starting today I hope to do a weekly blog post (the operative word is "hope" since everything is sort of up in the air with the new baby) where I style a little corner of our home. With a limited number of accessories, there are certain areas where decisions have yet to be made stylistically. Instead of waiting for the exact right piece though, I figure why not use what I have to do a little... Read more
Some Thanksgiving scenes from our house. I was inspired by Irene's post to do a little table styling and get out our fancy china. Read more
This holiday season I'm really into felt toys for kids. There is a certain artisanal quality about felt toys that seems very of the moment (and certainly some of these finds are hand made and sold by artisans on Etsy). And I love that they come in everything from foodstuffs to campfires to tools. What are you digging for the holidays this year?1. Tiny Felt Mushroom by MamaCOop2. Felt Dumplings by... Read more
Thanks to my Boston buddy Michele of The Department of the Interior for her guest post today: As if I didn't already have enough friends who have migrated West, (ahem, Jess), my friend Jay recently ditched me and all of his friends on the East Coast for an opportunity to shack up in San Francisco. I don't really know why he'd ever want to leave Boston but he did. Now he's all complaining that his... Read more
Bryan turns 1 month on Sunday and he is quite the porker weighing in at over 10 lbs now (from 6lbs 13oz at birth). Scott is taking the day off today for a little bonding with baby. Here he is tickling the ivories with Bryan. Read more
