For one of our advent activities we made a Christmas village (OK so we only have one house done) out of old cracker boxes, butcher paper, permanent and prismacolor markers.I sketched a loose drawing on the house and Little A had a magical time coloring it in. He’s just at the right age to really …

I’m swimming in wrappings and trimmings and loving every minute of it. Never mind that I was a half an hour late to the Christmas book club party (my sitter was stuck in a Cosco line for 20 min!) or that after giddily wrapping up my book for the giveaway I ended up driving around …

Meet Abe (as Little A has dubbed him). Perhaps he’s not that proud – he is a little awkward around the feathers after all. But we’re happy about it as it saved him from the chopping block and has allowed him to come and live with us. I do believe Abe will be the only …
jumping ship for a destination Halloween
This year we did things a little different for Halloween. Little Captain A and baby O-ctopus and the rest of the crew sailed away from the warm shores and green palms of California for the drizzily chills and bright fall leaves of Tennessee, and we had the time of our lives. Jon had a graduate …

It’s no secret that we all love security envelope patterns, right? And like many of you, I collect them, waiting for that perfect moment for when I just might come up with something to do with them.

We took it easy this year for baby O’s first birthday. Thanks to last year’s Target post-Halloween sales we were good to go with decor/invite/the works. The only thing I made was the Pumpkin spice cake with my favorite Williams Sonoma pumpkin cake mold that I break out every year. Pretty low key. Pretty great.After …

Ahh…fall. The dreamiest of seasons, set apart to usher in the delight of holidays magically stacked upon one another in just a way to get us through the drizzly and dreary months of winter. OK, so I live in California, but it has been unusually cold this past week and equally drippy (skipee!) and I …
