If you see one move this summer, make sure it’s Wall-E. He’ll make your heart melt.
It takes a lot for me to sit and watch a baseball game on TV… but very little convincing to get me into the stands to watch a game on a warm summer afternoon/night.
We went to our first Rivercats game in our new town at Raley Field on Friday [...]
This week’s HGTV Design Star challenge landed a winner in my heart. I’m not sure if the blue/gold color choice made it an automatic contender… but the pattern blew it completely out of the water.
This room should come with a “do not attempt to do this [...]
Yellow puffiness … aka. Softy Poppy and Softy Sloane… all Marc by Marc Jacobs
I have a feeling that anyone who grew up on a steady diet of Thrifty ice cream will fall in love with this amazing ice cream scoop as quickly as I am! In fact, I just passed up buying some ice cream cones the other day due to my [...]
I was playing around and looking for some fun fabrics to recover our old dining room seats… and happened upon quite a few pieces by Amy Butler that I enjoyed. And the more and more I saw of her work, the more I realized I must have seen it [...]

Some days, my work takes me on a walk past the rose gardens at the state capitol. Sometimes I’m walking briskly since I left a minute too late for my meeting/appointment, and other times I get to take my time and find a few blooms to sniff.
Today, I spent about five [...]
[new weekly feature on one of my favorite things: fonts!!!]
Originally designed for the Charles De Gaulle Intl. Airport, Frutiger has been available for public use since 1976 and is the best selling font in the Linotype collection. It’s a popular font for signage and modern ad campaigns…

Instead of the traditional flowers, Mr. M opted for something fun and unique for his mom’s b-day present this year: track brass wall strips. I must admit to lusting after them myself… but I was hoping to make our own version, so they could be longer and fit the [...]

My solution to these summer blues: Bobbi Brown beach. [...]
