We went to Disneyland with Jay & his fiancee Elizabeth on Sunday to celebrate Josh’s birthday: Phil is a crazy huge fan of dogs, [...]

Stand and Deliver

When we got to Grandma’s for the holidays, she had a big surprise for Phil in the form of a table he could stand at to play with his toys. Little boy was all over it for the entire 2.5 weeks we were there. This week was back to the grind in the home office. [...]

I can’t lie, Phil is a big fan of corn dogs. And regular dogs for that matter.

Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!

Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all! [...]

mmmmm… NO!

mmmmm... NO!

Phil’s new favorite thing to say is “mmmmmm… NO!” He’s been using this phrase pretty much non-stop since he learned it last weekend. We’ll be driving around in the car, and he’s just hanging out in the car seat chanting “mmmm… NO! mmmmm…. NO! mmmmm…. NO!” It took me a while to realize where he [...]

I do blog layout work on a regular basis for CAbi’s shopping and style blog CAbi Canary, and I wanted to share the New Year’s Eve Party edition! This blog edition featured the usual layout and photo montage work, but has an extra zing here and there in the form of custom map and note [...]

Studying Up on Talking Points for Jeopardy

As you may or may not know, I’m totally taking the online test in January to try and get on Jeopardy! I’ve been doing some studying here and there to help prepare for it by downloading free apps on the iphone… Turns out I was not as solid as I thought on the state capitols, [...]

On the Road for a New Mex Xmas!

On the Road for a New Mex Xmas!

We hit the bricks for Christmas in Las Cruces, New Mexico with Josh’s mom Carole this week. And let me tell you this – if we’re flying somewhere, Josh and I pack light thanks to the airlines and their $25 a bag charges. But driving? Forget about it. That’s a whole other story. Road-tripping for us involves hours upon hours [...]
