Reflections On Thanksgivings Past

To this day, this is one of the favorite posts I’ve ever written, because I can so clearly recall my emotion from that day.  I had just recently returned to work full time at James Perse, and I was traveling to New York a lot. I have always been torn about working, even when I […]

Hayden’s Neon Inspired Nursery

We finally finished Hayden’s nursery over the weekend, just shy of him turning 11 weeks old.  It had been complete for the most part, but I was going back and forth about placement of some artwork.  I’m still not sure I love the placement of the pieces above the bed, but for now I can […]

May the Force Be With You

Hello all!  It’s been a busy few days with lots of things to tend to, so I’ve had to hold off posting for a couple of days to try to get things accomplished.  I just wanted to pop in though to say hello and wish you all a wonderful weekend.  I also thought I’d share […]

Life With 3

We got pregnant with Hayden on our trip to Napa last year. Is that too much information? Well you know how we got pregnant, so what difference does it make if you know where too, right? Anyhow, while we were on that trip, we bought lots of wine, and joined a couple of wine clubs. […]

Weekend Links: Neiman Marcus + Target Product Lookbook Is Here!

I wrote about the happy news a couple of months back when I first heard that Neiman Marcus and Target would be collaborating on a series of 50 Holiday gift giving products.  The list of designers was impressive, and the price range seemed reasonable, but would hte products actually be something to really get excited […]

The 3rd Child

“You don’t have a baby book for me mom?!?” It’s true what they say about third children; they do sort of get the short end of the stick.  With Hayden, he does have the fact that he’s our last child on his side, so we do fall on his every coo and cry.  But as […]

Hayden’s Birth Story

Hayden turned 6 weeks old yesterday, and the memories of his birth are still very fresh in my mind and my heart, but certain details seem to be fading just a bit.  I never thought I’d share a birth story of one of my kids, and I’ll be quite honest, I’m not sure how many […]

To Do This Weekend: Apple Picking

I think it’s safe to say that those of us living in an urban/city type of environment, Southern California included, don’t have many opportunities to experience a very rustic, farm-like life on a regular basis.  So when we get the chance to visit a working farm, even if we have to drive 1.5 hours to […]

For the Love Of – Sweet Baby Hayden

It occurred to me today that I hadn’t taken any pictures of Hayden with our proper camera since we’ve been home!  So I remedied that this afternoon by getting his belly nice and full and shooting a few pictures of my sweet boy when he was happy.  He continues to melt my heart every day […]

9 Months On, 9 Months Off

I had planned on getting back to blogging this week, but it just didn’t happen, and I’m okay with that. I’ve needed the week to bond with baby without any distractions, and just rest. When feeling up to it, I’ve also accomplished a few projects around the house. I have been Instragramming quite a bit […]
