fatherhood: the shins’ james mercer
[I] have been a fan of The Shins since the beginning. Okay, fine. Maybe not the beginning beginning, but I was certainly losing myself in James Mercer’s lyrics long before Garden State made the genius composition, New Slang a hit. The heartbreakingly honest lyrics, delicately crafted melodies and juxtaposing rhythms are intoxicating to my soul. The… Continue reading fatherhood: the shins’ james mercer
no mother’s day
[P]lease take a moment to learn about a cause that is dear to my heart. Being a woman who lost her mother at a young age, I can only imagine the hardship and heartaches suffered by children whose mothers have died from preventable complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Every Mother Counts has teamed up with… Continue reading no mother’s day
totally sweet: tarts by fruute
[I]t is 8:15am and as I sip my industrial strength coffee from LAMill, I am drooling over dessert. Early morning emails contained a flyer from the bakery, Früute in West Hollywood. I haven’t been yet, but am dying to sample their array of treats. I’d be thrilled to find a box of them waiting for… Continue reading totally sweet: tarts by fruute

mother’s day musts
I’m dreaming of painted toes, bright summer sandals, spa scrub-down, rose bubbles and a tote to replace my worn diaper bag.

dining with dad: swingers
[N]OT dining with dad. This time it’s dining with Mom! After perusing furnishings with my bestie, Alyssa at West Elm in Hollywood, we grabbed a bite at Swinger’s. Do I love diners. Rhys found himself entranced by the red tabletops, plaid booths and short-skirted waitresses rocking kohl eyeliner. Weary from shopping, we were saved by… Continue reading dining with dad: swingers
dining with dad: jar
[T]here are few things I like more than Sunday morning brunch with friends. This week we dined at Jar in Hollywood. The expertly appointed dining room invokes the spirit of a 1940s style supper club. We sipped bellinis and coffee, dined on pot roast hash, Florentine omelets, lobster Benedicts, and corn pancakes with fresh strawberries. All… Continue reading dining with dad: jar
bibliothèque de bébé
[I]’ll be the first to admit I am a Francophile through and through. I think my fascination began with written French vocabulary tests in ballet growing up, and eventually led to a wedding in Villefranche-sur-Mer. A week before departing for my last trip to Paris was when I found out I was pregnant. Thrilled as… Continue reading bibliothèque de bébé
one day without shoes
[S]hoes. Something we throw on our feet each day. Something of which some of us have a fetish. Or a collection. Or a HUGE collection. Something most of us take for granted. Some of us go without shoes everyday, and not by choice. Join Toms Shoes in the One Day Without Shoes event TOMORROW, April… Continue reading one day without shoes
