The Woman in the Mirror
Sep 11Clark and I recently attended a bandmate’s wedding. It was a beautiful sunset celebration and in many ways a musical reunion. We bumped into people we haven’t played a note with in years with whom we experienced late night recordings, long lay-overs, and impromptu song writing sessions. That was long before any of us had spouses, kids, or even a warm-bodied date to a fancy wedding....

Kid’s Color Palette
Sep 06I love this color palette for Mia’s room. And according to this Freshome article, we are already ahead of the game with our gray walls. They are starting to grow on me. They would grow on me even more with these gold and pink accents. And the reading tent is a must, don’t you think? {image via H + B...

Labor Day Picnic
Aug 30What are you doing this Labor Day Weekend? Me and the fam and some friends are going to Red Top Mountain for a picnic and a hike.

PS I am thinking about making these coconut...
Soap Box
Aug 29I’m not one to get all soap box-y, but after re-reading this New York Times article, I wondered if the Britons might add to the list of Things They Don’t Admire About Americans how Syria can be on the brink of a civil war, and yet the biggest scoop to hit US headlines this week is Miley Cyrus’ twerking episode on the VMA’s. PS. Spell Check still flags the term...
Death Wish Coffee
Aug 26Oh, what I wouldn’t give today for a cup of Death Wish Coffee. The name might sound like caffeinated poison, but DWC claims to pack twice the caffeine than your average cup of joe. I was up late last night working on a deadline, but the kids didn’t get the memo to sleep in this morning. Hence, the need for Death Wish. How much coffee do you drink in a day? {Image via The...
Let the Games Begin
Aug 23What are you doing this weekend? I am coordinating the games and activities for a baby shower on Saturday. Let’s face it. Baby shower games are usually lame, but not on my watch! I think the best activities are those that somehow involve Dad, don’t you? After all, he is a key player in this whole Baby Gig. I’m still on the fence with a few activity ideas, so I thought I would...
