I am one of those people who tends to carry a large purse. Lukus hates it, because he is convinced that it is actually some sort of black hole where things go to disappear. I disagree. In fact I would argue that my bag only contains the most essential of essential items. In fact, when… [Read More...]
Whenever Lukus and I take a little weekend or overnight trip we pack bags. No shock there. Pretty normal in fact. What isn’t is Lukus’ choice in luggage. While most adults carry a weekender or some sort of duffel bag, Lukus still opts for a backpack. In fact, Lukus carry’s a backpack everywhere. And for… [Read More...]
Time is one of those precious commodities we never seem to have enough of. Or at least I never do. Especially when I need it. And, this isn’t because I am a procrastinator (Please! In college I regularly finished papers a week before they were due! Yes, I was that good ). Instead, life seems… [Read More...]

It was then that… [Read More...]
Yesterday, I promised to give you a blow by blow of today’s shopping extravaganza. Alas, I was the least successful of our shopping troop, walking away with a measly pair of shoes (however, they only set me back $30 dollars!). Lukus, on the contrary was the big winner, buying two pairs of shoes, two pairs… [Read More...]
If we trusted commercials and the aisles of our grocery stores we would think we would need about a million different products to care for our home. Things that clean, things that disinfect, things that treat. The problem is that most of these things are less than desirable. They are toxic, expensive and unnatural. Needless… [Read More...]
Yesterday I mentioned that I just got back from a trip to New York. It was a quick trip- I flew in Sunday and out Wednesday. And, while I love being in New York, I hate the actual act of traveling. Of course there is the challenge of finding a great price. But it’s the… [Read More...]
It’s November! Regardless of the weather November is such a cozy month. All I want to do is curl up on the sofa with some hot chocolate and something to read. Alas, Lukus and I do not have a library (although I sometimes contemplate turning the guest room/ office into a library. Perfect for a… [Read More...]
Tonight I had a lovely evening with my dear friend Lea Hetherington, interior designer extraordinaire. Not only is she a dear friend, but she is also making major strides in her career. She is currently working for a major up and coming interior designer here in Los Angeles. So, when she stopped by after work,… [Read More...]
