First Day of School

Ok, yeah, I know I've been writing many a post about our boy. But, he's pretty irresistible and I'm his mom, so that's my job. Today was a big milestone: his first day of school! We've just started at Puddle Jumpers and our boy went today from 9-5. The went to the park, read books, played with glue and paint, etc.! My biggest worry at the start of the day was the nap situation. All the kids (most of them are 3ish) nap together on the floor on their own sweet little blankets, with their sweet little stuffed animal or whatever. I had visions of our boy (who's 20 months) roaming around aimlessly and eventually just not napping. But I'm happy to report that he napped with the rest of the sweet little monkeys. I arrived to work my shift while the kids were still asleep so I was able to catch a peak with the video camera on my phone. You can also see the Daily Kid Pic here taken during craft hour. 

I'm working on wrapping up a few work-related projects so I haven't had much extra time to write about fun things like shopping or gardening. Now that the boy is off to school twice a week, we'll have more time to write about all the treasures I find & create.

Newest Member of Puddle Jumpers Workshop!

I'm pleased as punch to report that our little guy has been offered a spot at the sweetest nursery school in SF: Puddle Jumpers Workshop. It's a small, parent-run co-op in the mission. They take trips to the park, make art, sing, read, etc! I also love that they have a great plot in a community garden! The photo below is from our Daily Kid Pic series, and shows him eating a tomatillo!

Beast of Terror

I'm thrilled that my brother and husband get along so well (right now they're playing an animated game of -video game- golf). I spent yesterday bicycling around napa and drinking wine (post & pictures to follow this week). While I was gone, Chris and Alan made a little video with the boy (dog cameo!!). They used 2 iPhones and a little editing. I'm happy to share the hilarity!!

Fun news! Schmap is using a photo of mine they found on Flickr (with my permission, of course). They're using this one, from the Conservatory of Flowers. And, a sample screen shot of their iphone app includes my photo, too!

Cherry Blossom Beadworks!

I'm so happy to announce the launch of a new company!! The owners of Gardenia Floral Design have a fun, new venture: Cherry Blossom Beadworks!! They are now creating custom hand-beaded hair pieces, bouquets, and corsages for brides & wedding parties. From their website: "We are making all our pieces by hand, one at a time, in the U.S. with sterling silver, Swaroski crystals, glass beads, and the best materials that we can find for you. Keepsakes that will never turn to dust, inspired by nature & by each bride." And I love their little motto: "We think every bride deserves something sparkly & special for her wedding." 

Every piece I've seen is really beautiful and unique- they're using peacock feathers, ostrich feathers, amazing velvet ribbons- really nice quality materials. I'm so excited for them!

And I'm also proud to say that I created the logo for them, with the help of artwork from Talie Shove of Paisley Papers. Great photos by Melissa Pepin and ZoomWorks.

Baby Shower

Last weekend I had the good fortune to co-host a baby shower for our favorite pals, Cati and Arne. Cati and I go way back to the summer 2001 or 2002, when BFF Marie and I lived on Boulevard. Cati and Marie were friends from schooling at Agnes Scott and traipsing around France together. She left for San Francisco before I did, met and married Arne (girls rock movie!!!) and now they are expecting a little one next month! Cati is unstoppable and fabulous so we were so happy to put together a shower to celebrate both Cati and Arne's awesomeness. Dino and Sierra opened their home and fed us delicious foods. Their two kids helped with decorations. I contributed invitations and Jenn brought crafts for all of us! She brought awesome fabric scraps and plain onesies for us to decorate using irons and fusible web stuff (can't remember the name of it... will update soon!). I made the eggplant one because Cati has a tattoo of an eggplant on her hip- perfecto! Everyone had a great time! Hooray!

Party at The Palace

I had the luxury of a weekend alone and decided to book a room at The Palace Hotel (downtown SF) to celebrate. It was a gift from my adorable husband- thanks, Chris!! If you ask any mom, a weekend alone is pretty much a dream come true! Sleeping in, shopping, eating slowly, relaxing in a hot tub, oooohhhh, it was amazing! I even had a really nice dinner at Café Claude.

Upon arriving home, it only took 10 minutes to spill burrito bits on my new dress.

Mirror World Is Back!

WOW!! Due to overwhelming response, Parker has finally brought back Mirror World! I'm sure it has everything to do with my big fancy blog and tribute gallery! Hahahahahaha.... whatever; I don't care what prompted him to bring it back, I'm just happy to see it! Visit the real Mirror World or my knock-off gallery.

You can read my original post about Mirror World... with a bonus photo of Parker that I took. And here is a new favorite photo from his collection and an old fave, too.
