Happy New Year! Our New Year’s Eve was quite uneventful but suited us just fine since we are a little tired from all of the traveling. At 11:35pm I decided to actually write down all of my resolutions and goals, scribbling the last few just before midnight. This is the first time that I have […]

Happy Holidays
December 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments
I hope you are all enjoying your holidays. Only five days after we returned from Australia we were off to Philadelphia then to a small town in Ohio to visit Jon’s family. I realized during the brief interval in Houston that my time management skills need quite a brush up. So I apologize for leaving […]

From Bronte to Coogee
December 15th, 2008 · 16 Comments
We’re back from our trip to Australia. It was absolutely wonderful to spend time with family and catch-up with some of my oldest and dearest friends. Per Jon’s request, we did not do much sight seeing in Sydney. Instead we hit up a few beaches, ate lots of seafood at Doyle’s, celebrated my grandmother’s 80th […]
Thank you

By the time you read this we will probably be in the middle of our 17.5 hour journey to Australia (3.5 hours to LA from Houston then a 14 hour non-stop flight to Sydney). Since we cross the dateline, we unfortunately skip Thanksgiving altogether so that means no turkey or football for my husband. But […]

Love letter stairs

When architects, Jose Tavel and Cara Cummins, celebrated their wedding in their recently built home in Atlanta, the couple inscribed the temporary stair treads with lines from a valentine’s letter that Cummins’s grandfather penned to her grandmother during the World War II era. And now that the house is almost complete, Tavel and Cummins just […]

We hope that many kids stop by our house because we have a very large candy bowl ready to go. Plus I have to stop eating this chocolate for breakfast. Hurry up, kids!
Happy Halloween, everyone.

Set and costume design of Australia movie
October 28th, 2008 · 13 Comments
I am ready to be blown away by the upcoming epic, Australia, starring Nicole Kidman (Lady Sarah Ashley) and Hugh Jackman (The Drover). There has been a lot of hype surrounding director Baz Luhrmann’s latest project because the countryside of Australia has yet to be the setting or character of a film of this magnitude. […]

Do not leave unattended
October 20th, 2008 · 4 Comments
By now you may have already heard about Jude’s project, do not leave unattended, which involves twenty traveling diaries. These special notebooks are making their way from artist-to-blogger-to-mother-to-friend and each person is free to collage, write, or draw in it until the book is sent to the next contributor. Part of the fun is the […]

Piyo gear
October 17th, 2008 · 8 Comments
On Wednesday night my friend, Kelly, and I put on our brave faces as we entered the yoga studio for a piyo class — a combination between yoga and pilates. My sister’s studio calls it yogalates but I am not entirely sure if it is the same thing.
No, this is not me. It’s not […]
Project Runway: Wedding and bridesmaid dresses
October 9th, 2008 · 10 Comments
Last night we got a glimpse of the Project Runway designers’ final collections that will be making their way down the crisp, white runway at Bryant Park. I cannot recall whether I was more excited to see Christian’s “fierce” collection in Season 4 or now Leanne’s wave-inspired garments this season. But last night’s episode made […]
