As a gift to myself, I enrolled in a photography course,  Superhero Photo: The Basics.  I've always wanted to take a photography course and it doesn't hurt that I get to tick something off my Life List .  I've long admired the pictures of friends and, of course, professional photographers but my inner critic has consistently convinced me that I lack the "eye" of a

As June approaches, I'm faced with a perpetual problem...the fathers in my life have EVERYTHING they need.  Since I've already breezed through the basics, my favorite gifts to give add a little pizazz to my special guy's (guys') life.  Haspel Seersucker Blazer--Head to toe seersucker with a bowtie can be hard to pull off but a blazer pairs with dark jeans and a punchy belt, dark

via ListsofNote.com F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a letter to his 11 year old daughter Scottie.  I love that this sage advice is as true for an 11 year old as it is for a 30 year old.  I also love the thread of self reliance he weaves throughout the list.  Quite progressive for a father in his time, no?

This blog has been neglected lately...there's not much sartorially noteworthy about the togs one wears when pregnant with twins.  Also, I lack motivation to seek out sartorial eye candy because, well, I'm selfish, and if I can't wear it...NO ONE CAN (not exactly but you catch my drift).  For now,  I'm nesting and filling every room in my house with baby paraphernalia as is my

Autumn by the tracks Sometimes Sometimes things don't go, after all, from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail. Sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well. A people sometimes will step back from war, elect an honest man, decide they care enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor. Some men become what they were born for.

So, that first apron I made?  It hasn't yet seen the light of day.  My Dr. Betty, precious, precious Dr. Betty is saving it because it's so special to her.  The second?  It has been sent to San Diego. The third, though, is the charm.  This apron, friends, is for the Neighbor System.  I knew I could count on this lovely lady to take a picture of this piece.

Well Friends, I've outdone myself.  I've been out of commission for a while for various reasons.  Among them, the first trimester of pregnancy!  I was approaching Life List Item 57 with much vigor until 'restrictions' got in the way.  Restrictions being my spontaneous incubation of not one but  TWO squishy babies.  YES! TWINS! I'm over so much of the shock  now.

The same soles different ribbons!  I love that you can dictate the look.  They offer low, mid and high heels as well as square or rounded toes and wide soles as well.  The price tag is a bit high but the versatility is amazing. Check 'em out!

From vacation!  And I have no pictures, because it was that kind of vacation, the kind during which you wear yoga pants on the cool California coast and graduate to flowy dresses and skirts in the scorching California heat.  There are pictures forthcoming of various Life List endeavors.  Ready yourselves.  They'll be up soon.

Save a few anachronisms and a thunderstorm the Roaring 20's Birthday Party went off without a hitch...and with 4 magnums of prosecco.  Good day sir!  I said GOOD DAY! Happy Birthday to US! And...as often, photos by my Notable Neighbor Sister

But I *did* enjoy a delightful birthday.  Beginning upon waking but photodocumented from about 8AM.  First, Neighbor Sister came to give me a ride to school and I was straining a beautiful concoction.  Honey Lavender Oat infused Vodka (Figure 1). We decided we needed to test the goods (Figure 2). A titer of vodkamel later (Figure 3). We were well on our way to a party (
