This weekend we were invited to an 80’s Prom themed- 40th birthday party. What a fun night! Getting dressed in outfits that we pillaged from our closets was just half the fun. Todd and I were rolling in laughter at each other as we each pulled out bad outfit after accessory!  His being his white [...]

About a year ago as I pulled out my winter wardrobe, I realized most of my nice sweaters had pilled. You know when they start to get a ton of fuzzy’s and you can’t get rid of them. This seems to happen on other articles of clothing as well with rayon in the fabric. [...]

Last week we celebrated my 30- ish bday at our house, the theme was Pizza+Beer+Cupcakes. It was so fun seeing old friends and getting caught up. I spent almost 2 entire days cooking cupcakes from Martha Stewart’s cupcake book. Everyone showed up bearing wine, champagne, or a gift even though the invite specifically stated [...]

Winston is my dog. He is five years old.  He is a deer-head chihuahua (cute deer head face instead of alien looking apple head breed), a bit oversized for a typical chi but he’s the sweetest, lovable, best dog-ever (Todd and I always debate on whose dog is the best; his- Cassius (the boxer) or [...]

These past few months I’ve had so many friends announce they are pregnant!  It’s mostly everyone’s first child but its amazing how it seems to all happen at once… DON’T worry I’m not going to drink what they are, definitely not in any hurry here for sleepless nights and screaming sounds echoing throughout the house.

I’ve been trying to learn about the different features on my amazing camera that Todd so generously gave me for christmas. We decided to shoot some shots at night. I must say… for a rookie they turned out quite nice. Todd might even use these for his new real estate ventures.
