I have definitely documented my moments of procrastination, but today proved to be exceptional.  Not only was I procrastinating from preparing all the actual work I need to accomplish, it was my procrastination’s procrastination that propelled today’s post.  Knowing my new NARS lip glosses were hanging out in an unadorned recycled tomato paste can prevented me from doing something, say profitable.  Luckily the solution was a handful away.

When my sister was a toddler, she would insist on being taken to any & every restaurant’s powder room.  It wasn’t that she had to go – she was still in diapers, but she was obsessed with seeing the actual bathrooms.  I’m not sure what was going on in her 2yr old mind, but she was determined.  If she was denied entrance, she would throw a royal fit which usually amounted to all her food being tossed on the floor …

Summer can’t come soon enough for me, so for the next month I’ll have to make do with photos from summers past spent in Coney Island.

I’m in the throes of spreading the news that REDBOOK.com is featuring 5 of my fun & fast crafts for everyday mom hacks, so today’s post is a re-cap from last week’s Affordable Art Fair in NYC.  Not to fear, the article will most definitely be posted here.  Until then, enjoy these pretty, pretty pictures.  xxoo.

If you’re going to accurately host a 1920s Prohibition dinner & a murder party, alcohol beverages are mandatory regardless what the law says.  The creative challenge was how to serve the hooch discreetly to maintain the integrity of the speakeasy theme.  I toyed with the idea of serving the drinks in mason jars with those charming daisy cut lids from Sweet Lulu, but realized my extensive vintage soda bottle collection would be perfect.  Not only was it one …
