All good city-dwellers know that a trip out of town translates to a stop at Target. Rob and I only go a couple times a year, so it’s usually a bit of a spree. On Sunday, we picked up everything from cold medicine to clearance picture frames. These red flats for $20 were my favorite…

Rob and I went to Sanger this weekend to spend some time with his family. We left on Friday and slogged through the traffic and rain on the way down there. On Saturday morning, we shared a big breakfast and got a good look at the two sets of quadruplet goat kids. They’re so cute…

Here’s to a romantic Valentine’s Day on Saturday. I hope your day is full of sprinkles, twinkle lights, pillow forts, chinese delivery, Audrey, handmade paper cards and kisses on the nose. Love is grand! Talk to you Tuesday.

Cara and Liso’s special Valentine’s Day envelopes are off in the mail! Time to share my mixtape with everyone else. I’m crazy about all these songs…the kind of nuts where you can’t sleep because the song is too stuck in your head. I did my best to find a good clip of each, which was…

Yet another reason that Flickr is a great wedding planning tool! I love this all-Gocco portfolio from Heather Toupin. She’s a screenprinting…

So maybe I can’t throw out all my clothes and go pink for spring. But that doesn’t mean I can’t recommend it for others! April needs something to wear for a hot Valentine’s Day date with her boyfriend: I adore your blog and the amazing outfits you create! I am going to dinner (dressy but…

After a winter of wearing lots of last year’s tweed, black tights and dark sweaters, I’m feeling the siren call of spring. Could I throw out my clothes and decide to wear all pink, ivory and gray for the next month? This clip is not helping. {skip to around 2:30 for the singing}
