I pretty much have the coolest dad in the world. Check out this video of his band (those are his lyrics, and that’s him singing on the video):
Yeah, as if you didn’t already know I was a liberal.

This is late, but last Sunday was the birthday of my godson Phoenix (OK, there was never actually a baptism, so I’m not officially his godmother, but since if there had been a baptism I would have been the godmother I decided to claim the title anyways.) This little boy is the love of my [...]
This weekend I went up to Sacramento to celebrate my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary.
Being married for 60 years is pretty amazing, especially in today’s world. They’re an inspiration to all of us.
A shot of the angel food cake that T. (who had to work and couldn’t come) and I made the night before (from scratch [...]
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. And especially to my dad, thanks for being the best dad a girl could ever ask for.
I love you!

Today was my grandfather’s 87th birthday.

These are some of my favorite pictures from today (not as head shots, just as photos [...]

Today was my baby sister’s 21st birthday.
I can’t believe she’s so grown up. And so fabulous – check out her tights (which, ahem, used to be mine) and her fantastic hair piece/hat. Also take a look at the DIY map wallpaper behind her. Someday soon I’ll have to do a post on it.
My mom has been cleaning out closets at her house lately, and yesterday she stopped by my house (we live a mile away from each other) with these embroidered linens, made by my great-grandmother and/or one of my mom’s great aunts (my mom doesn’t remember exactly, but thinks that my aunt might, so I have [...]
as promised, here are the baby shower invitations that I recently sent out:
This baby is already so loved.
