If you recall from a couple of posts back, I have been helping one of my favorite local boutiques, Tullemoss, promote the launch of their new website and e-commerce site. The store owner and my business contact there have been working tirelessly to photograph, inventory and stock up the new site for shopping, […]
It’s been a wonderful week here and at home. First, big news on the home front – Hayden started walking for real! And over here, I felt extremely encouraged by you all this week, so thank you for that. I dedicated a good amount of time here and wrote a couple of pieces I’m very […]
It was a good week around here. I’ve started to feel a surge of creativity again, which feels wonderful, and am anxious to get some projects completed around the house, for myself and to show you all. I feel like it’s been so long since I’ve completed a proper DIY. I’m playing with my camera […]
Since it had been at least 3 years since the last time I got to wear a fancy dress, I was all set to buy a new one for the occasion of my girlfriend’s Sunday wedding. But after spending all of my babysitting money seraching for a dress that would be appropriate and fancy enough […]

Without hesitation I replied “page views.” And for the most part, that is absolutely true. I went on to tell her that when you’re applying for paid campaigns or trying to get into an […]
source I’m speaking at the Penelope Lane Boutique & Blog Conference this morning and I’m nervous. I’ve spoken in front of audiences hundreds of times (as part of my old job regularly presenting the line to clients, speaking became 2nd nature to me), but when you haven’t done it in a while you start to […]
I think it’s safe to say that those of us living in an urban/city type of environment, Southern California included, don’t have many opportunities to experience a very rustic, farm-like life on a regular basis.

Good morning friends. It’s almost 8 am and my husband is still asleep, in an Umami Burger coma. The kids spent the night at my parent’s house last night, and while our original plan was to go to the movies, the pregnant girl’s belly had other plans. And so we skipped a movie and decided […]
