The Fashion Hat: My Spring Sparkle
I bought this headband at the Seattle Nordstrom store last month. It’s perfect for spring. The band is thin and the multi-colored “stones” make it pop, enhancing an ordinary hairstyle. Anyway. I put my new spring sparkle on the countertop and snapped a photo to show you. Baby girl was waiting in the wings stacking plastic […]
The Friendship Hat: She’s Crafty
Yesterday I had a date with my girlfriend, Teri. The plan was to visit the fabric store for “Mickey-themed” fabric for Kelsey’s 2nd birthday.

But, in the meantime, can all my iPhone using friends splurge on this Michael Kors case so that I can live vicariously through you. I’m tempted to pull a Cinderella-Stepsister-glass-slipper move and squeeeeze my G2 phone into this case. I […]

The Parenting Hat: Anything I can’t do, maybe she can?
Oh, how I wish I could sing, dance, draw, paint and illustrate. This is something I would draw, if I could. Vintage fashion illustrations from Lauren Maurer. So pretty. So feminine. So wonderful. For now, I’ll just dream and hope that Kelsey can do this one day. That’s right: I will plan to live vicariously through […]
