Welcome back friends. Nothing like the first week after vacation to whip you back into reality with this sweet and short message, in a deep dark voice: you’ve got three weeks until Christmas, “you better work b___”. Here we are on a Tuesday night and I’m still slightly in denial about all that and chose… Continue reading Love and Inspiration from New Orleans

Vacation Diaries: part one
Well we’ve been in school now for a good three weeks and reality has definitely set in. Every morning at 6:15 I roll over and tell Mike how much I HATE school, having to get up SO early…”maybe I should homeschool???” Work is nuts, a good nuts. I’m in the process of moving the ROAD… Continue reading Vacation Diaries: part one
Palm Springs pretties
You may have heard I took a trip recently to Palm Springs with all my college roommates. We all turned 40 this year and we’re all like damn straight we’re taking a big trip. We decided on Palm Springs after looking at all the hip homes for rent on VRBO and the many different things… Continue reading Palm Springs pretties
Design in the desert
Howdy loves! I’m off to be inspired. A long-awaited trip to Palm Springs, a mid-century marvel, with 8 of my favorite people. Nothing like travel to new places to recharge your creative soul and introduce new inspiration into your daily life and designs. We’re celebrate the passing of time… (cheese ball) OK we’re all turning FORTY (!!!) and… Continue reading Design in the desert
Watering your roots
Hello strangers! I’m back from my month-long sojourn to my home town, home state of Michigan and I’d be fibbing if I didn’t say I’m a little bit sad about it. Went by so fast – again. I’m not ready for school to start next week (and btw who starts school August ninth?!). Seems like… Continue reading Watering your roots
Dreaming of Provence part deux…
Last Summer when one of my besties and I were designing a French-inspired home we came across some GORGEOUS homes in France for inspiration and rent. I wrote Dreaming of Provence HERE and have had part two queued up on my computer ever since. Good thing I waited because Blogger upgraded their picture capacity and… Continue reading Dreaming of Provence part deux…
Vacation, all I ever wanted…
Vacation, have to get away… I don’t have the words this week. We live in a world of over communication, texting, tweeting, status updates, where words like grateful, fortunate, blessed become mundane and don’t quite pack the punch they use to. I’m that girl this week. This happens every Summer as I pack for my… Continue reading Vacation, all I ever wanted…
If you’re going to San Francisco…
…be sure to wear some flowers in your hair…I’m outta here my pretties! Headed WEST, back to the old apartment on 955 Burnett Street in San Francisco. I’m so excited I can’t even stand it. We haven’t been back since we lived there 15 years ago and truth be told, it was such a short… Continue reading If you’re going to San Francisco…
Serenbe, Georgia
Chances are you’ve heard about the community of Serenbe. An organic slice of heaven that has been written up in numerous publications and won many awards for its 1,000 acres of sustainable living. My bestie Jen (or lovingly referred to as KoKo or Kozik), was in town with her sweeter-than-pie daughter Julia recently. We stopped… Continue reading Serenbe, Georgia
What’s in my Iphone: Random beauty, fun, inspiration and one great salad…
Hey peeps, been awhile since we’ve looked inside my phone of what’s catching my eye out there on the road. For starters, my sweeties at Lover’s Key in Fort Myers, Florida last weekend. Fun fun time visiting my brother, neice and friends. The weather was gorgeous too! Great looking mirror at the new Home Decorator’s… Continue reading What’s in my Iphone: Random beauty, fun, inspiration and one great salad…
