Double exposure experiment that I want to try more of.

Double exposure experiment that I want to try more of.

Looking forward to watching this Vogue documentary, The First Monday in May.

A beautiful home makeover for Lucy, whose husband, Paul recently passed away.  His book is a lovely read.

Wallpaper.  The removable wallpaper styles, that are less committal than the old days.  But in beautiful patterns like the old days. 

Printing this out for the refrigerator as good reminders. 

Agreeing with this perspective on homework.

Design HER | Featuring Victoria Larson | March 2016

A beautiful evening to celebrate Annapolis' very own textile designer Victoria Larson and her feature in the new book, DesignHER benefiting young women design entrepreneurs.  DesignHer is a collection of 33 real and sometimes humorous short stories that explain the pitfalls and triumphs these females found while growing their businesses.  Thank you to the gracious hosts at Dream House Studios for an evening of inspiration, friendship and entrepreneurial spirit.  We are so very proud of you Victoria!

Monday Musings | February 2016

a few items that are grabbing my attention this Monday...

Since I can't seem to keep that darn fiddle leaf fig tree alive, I will settle for one of these.

Getting lost in this newsletter for teen girls.  I know I don't have any girls, (except for my nieces and all my teen IG followers), but aren't we always a teen at heart. 

 

 

And this.  When you have a child who doesn't have a diagnosis of Autism specifically, but has a laundry list of other diagnosis' that look very similar.  It breaks your heart and keeps you up at night when... "... your child has no friends, oblivious to their social deficit and so aggressively social that people shy away unsure of how to interact." 

But I am grateful for my father, who has always reminded me, when talking about his oldest grandson,  "If he is not your best friend it's only because you have not met him yet."  So incredibly thankful for his wisdom.

 

Conversations with Charlie | Personal | 2016

"R.O.T.C.  Right Off The Couch".

What R.O.T.C. stands for according to Charlie when we were talking about a path you should take to become a Navy Seal.

 

"This toilet paper is worse than the school toilet paper."

Charlie's observation after I bought toilet paper on sale.

 

Charlie:  "Oh today we have lunch after 5th period.  I hate having lunch after 5th period."

Mike:  "Is that the biggest thing you have to worry about?"

Charlie:  "Yeah, that…and The Purge".

 

Me:  "Your eyebrows look on fleek today" (knowing I am saying it wrong and that there really is a word for that...however you say/spell it!).

Charlie:  "No they aren't, they are thicker than my 1 1/2 inch binder".

Eyebrows have been a topic ever since his school picture last year.

 

Jack:  "Sam is like the chick magnet.  He needs to share some of his powers with me and Charlie."

Charlie:  "What are you talking about?  I am like 600 bolts.  You are like a dead battery."

Charlie and Jack on dating.

 

"Peyton Manning is so old, he probably needs Life Alert when gets tackled."

Charlie (Carolina fan) on Peyton Manning being the oldest QB in NFL History to win the Super Bowl.
