Feeling fun and funky
Having fun altering reality with these super funky (at least for me) vintagey, color burst and sepia Photoshop actions by lovely and amazing photographers Laura Pearce and Ree of Pioneer Woman. Thank you for sharing them! It takes an ice cream outing to get these two to stop moving. What’s your favorite funky foto technique?

Love this one. It is a photo of mother and daughter from daughter’s two-year-old party a few weeks ago. This party, actually: Mom is a professional photographer, so the technical errors on this one might make her cringe, but maybe the tenderness factor might override some of the mistakes. Daughter is a professional two-year-old and…
Read MoreThe weekend in photos
Looking over the photos of the weekend, I have a soundtrack in my head of “Pomp and Circumstance” mixed with, oh, pick an early 90s song, “Mr. Wendell?” Reunions are revered by some, reviled by others, but good, bad or lovely, they provide an unrivaled experience—to go back to a place that knew you before…

Henry in self-mandated “time out.” And yes, we call that the naughty step, because who doesn’t get their best child-rearing tactics from reality TV. The blue stool is his own touch. A FEW THINGS ABOUT YESTERDAY A) Henry sobbed for the entire 11-minute drive home from swimming lessons, because I didn’t wait long enough (like…

My 15th college reunion is coming up this weekend, and as a class officer doing the behind-the-scenes preparations, I’ve had my head squarely stuck in the late 80s and early 90s. You know, listening to my (thanks, Jess!) “Eighties Child” mix tape now on iTunes, reminiscing on our class blog and adding to our class…

Sometimes I can’t decide if I love all the individual parts and pieces of them more, or if it’s the whole delicious whole that I love the most. For more Best Shot Monday, click here.

Happy May Day! Image from Will’s nursery school May Day walk, taken today as 16 nursery-schoolers hung May baskets on houses throughout the village. Wouldn’t you like to come to find that hanging on your door? Wishing you a day of unexpected surprises, too.
Read MoreBehind the scenes at Real Simple
So last week, I was one of five lucky women to be photographed in NYC for a story in the July 2008 issue of Real Simple. The story is about “upgrading your casual look” and upgrade me they did, with a hot pink and orange Tory Burch linen top and a pair of 7 for…

It was awesome, wonderful and amazing, and I can’t wait to share all the photos and stories later. Like wait til you hear all the amazing celebrities my MANICURIST has worked on. That she told me about while she was doing my nails and toes. But in the meantime, I have two little monkeys here…
