Listography

October 22, 2009

A few weeks ago, in her great post about journals, Guest Mom Carrie Lundell introduced us to Listography. And then. Happy coincidence. I received a copy from Chronicle Books in my gift bag from Broad Summit. Um. Brillant! So many great topics I can’t pick a favorite. List the people you love the most. List [...]

Leap Design

October 21, 2009

Such a funny snowy day her in Colorado. The kids had a delayed school start so it was a lazy morning. I heart lazy mornings. But they’ll be home any minute — it’s time for me to get the fire started and warm up some hot cocoa to greet them. In the meantime, here’s something [...]

Pregnancy Story from Aimee Giese

October 21, 2009

Learning to Love Your Stomach Whenever someone asks me about pregnancy, I just tell them it was the time I learned to love my gut. I loved people to touch it, loved that it was hard and round. Love loved loved my stomach. Because the rest of it was weird. I got pregnant on vacation, [...]

Pregnancy Memory from Sarah Lemoine

October 21, 2009

At the hospital the day Abe was born. A Bittersweet Year Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing. Creating life — then helping to mold that life into a decent little person — is perhaps the most elevated of all callings. Sometimes the job seems ordinary. Even mundane. But in light of the bigger picture, each [...]

Harvey Faircloth

October 20, 2009

Good friends (and sometime bloggers) Abby Clawson Low, Mara Papa and Katie Hatch debuted the Fall ’09 Collection of their new clothing line, Harvey Faircloth, in the spring at NYC’s D&A; with great response. Great response? That’s no surprise. Don’t you want to purchase every single outfit? And don’t you love how it’s all very [...]

Halloween Books

October 19, 2009

I feel like we haven’t added Halloween books to our stash in ages, so this year I ordered a few. (As I’ve described in years past, during the month of October, we like to light candles each night and ready Halloween books or spooky stories. This year we even have a fireplace (woot!). It totally [...]

Spooky Scarecrow

October 19, 2009

Look what we made this weekend! It’s a spooky scarecrow. Isn’t it fantastic? The project took less than an hour and looks terrific in our yard. We still need to carve a menacing face into the pumpkin head, but for now, it still looks decent uncarved. Inspiration: Part of celebrating Halloween in New York is [...]

Old & New Friends

October 15, 2009

I have a couple more Broad Summit posts before I’ve absolutely exhausted the topic. Today I’m thinking about friends I’ve spent time with before — like Melissa Summers and Chris Jordan. And friends I was excited to meet for the first time in real life — like Asha Dornfest, Kelly Wilkinson (who was my first [...]

Pumpkin Cookies

October 14, 2009

Made a batch of pumpkin cookies last night and ate them by the fire. Doesn’t get much better than that. (I like mine sans chocolate chips. So I usually make half the batch with and half without.) Edit: My apologies for not including the recipe when I first published the post. Here it is. I [...]

Zicam Yoga Session at Boon

October 14, 2009

Outside of the constant stream of wine during Broad Summit, there was an underlying health and wellness theme happening — due in large part to Boon Hotel & Spa, and due in other large part to Zicam (one of the biggest sponsors), and due in other large part to Kristin Darzugas who woke up early [...]

Pregnancy Dream from Calli Taylor

October 14, 2009

When I was barely pregnant with my twin daughters, my mother in law, phoned my husband early in the morning. She had just had a dream that she needed to tell us about. In her dream, she was in a hen house. She was standing over an egg, and although she knows you are not [...]

Pregnancy Thoughts by Laura B

October 14, 2009

Carrying Andrew, my biggest baby, at 9 pounds. Pregnancy is amazing. Truly amazing. I’m amazed that my belly can stretch this much. And then (almost) shrink back down. I’m amazed that I’ve gone through three pregnancies. That I have three beautiful children, grown in my own womb. I’m amazed that it’s been over two years [...]

Feisty Elle Earrings

October 13, 2009

These super-hot earrings were spotted throughout Broad Summit weekend. Every attendee received a pair and they were an instant hit. They’re made of laser-cut virgin merino wool. So you get a big look with almost no weight. Which is unusual for big earrings. You can find them at Feisty Elle. (I think Eden Kennedy wore [...]

A Day of Wine Smelling

October 13, 2009

Saturday at Broad Summit was all about wine tasting, wine pairings and wineries. For the pregnant people (there were 3 of us) and the Mormon people (there were 2 of us), it was all about wine smelling. And being the designated drivers. Regardless, the day could not have been more gorgeous. The grape harvest was [...]

DDF Skincare

October 12, 2009

DDF Skincare sponsored Broad Summit and offered the Broads complimentary skin consultations. I’ve never had a skin consultation and found the whole thing very helpful. I really know very little about proper skin care. After a brief evaluation/survey about my skin, the DDF consultants walked me through a basic skin care regimen — what products [...]
