This week was a wild one, which explains the reduced number of blog posts. Saturday was Emerson’s school’s spring fair which included a talent show.

Above are photos in my phone from the past week or so – enjoying the hammock with Emerson, with my hair stylist Billy, sun streaming in our bedroom (Karl rides his bike on a trainer in there), working at The Wing, lunch at Republic, dinner with good friends.

The list of… Continue Reading Giving Back this Holiday Season: Do It For The Love Foundation

We’re so lucky to have friends who will be moving in and house sitting for us (and dog sitting for Cindy too!). I feel good knowing we have friends and neighbors taking care of our home and Cindy… Continue Reading On the Road!
