Spotted in the July/August issue of Coastal Living...Well, the space itself is hard to resist, but that 1930's Loop Chair... *sigh*. This one was procured from Darrell Dean Antiques. They pop up on 1stdibs occasionally, too, but get your checkbook ready.Then I spotted these in the same issue...Variations on a theme, no? These lovelies are in the Pacific Palisades home of Steve McPherson and Jennifer LaCorte, decorated by the one … [Read more...]

I confess: I've been in a funk since I dropped My Girl off at college last week. *Sigh* Thank goodness my teaching year gears up again on Monday to help me snap the heck out of this! For her "last supper" at home, My Girl requested this delish mac and cheese dish that came to me from my friend Harriet. Since you busy wives and moms are readying for back-to-school and football weekends (War Eagle! Go Dawgs!), I thought I'd share it with … [Read more...]

Good morning, friends! My alarm went off at 5 am so I could take my son to football practice at 5:30. School hasn't started yet, but our schedule certainly has!

August 5, 2011 by · 3 Comments
Good grief, friends, I am STILL catching up after our "mac daddy" road trip to Texas! We travelled 2700 miles in 10 days, squeezing in visiting and some fun among 46 hours in the car and not a lot of sleep. Once we got home, I was immediately immersed in shopping and packing my daughter for college, shuttling to football practices, doctor's appointments, summer reading, and prepping to get back to teaching. Ok, so those are my … [Read more...]
