When it’s going to be 100+ degrees at home on a Saturday… an escape to the coast seems like the perfect getaway! Mr. M had gotten me his company Giants tickets for the Saturday game against the Mets, so I called my mom and asked her if she’d like to meet me “half way” [...]
On our visit to San Francisco on Saturday, I dragged my mom into the SF Galleria in search of a store that I thought might be open… and with a bit of luck it just happened to be their debut weekend! EDITION is Banana Republic’s new boutique accessories store, which is essentially houses [...]

Hooray for links this time around!

This weekend, a friend asked me if I knew where to find a wonderful invention she’d seen in a magazine long long ago: magnetic push pins. They work just like push pins, but they have an extra magnet on top to secure the photos and keep the nasty pin holes from hurting precious memories. I [...]
