Always working on our home – how to mesh our love of chic design with our love for our kids. There is not a single place in this joint that our girls are not welcomed into with open arms. Which perhaps drives hubby nuts sometimes, since I can often be heard muttering under my breath, [...]

I never have the right bag for a night out on the town. Never. I’ve always had ‘clutch’ on my Wish List. Just never found one that I liked, that didn’t feel too dainty or prissy for me, or make me feel like I was a little girl playing dress-up in my mother’s collection of [...]

Friends of ours just returned from [...]

So the end of 2009 brought all kinds of change for us. And after a year where change was kind of the theme, I’m over it!
