The Art of Easter

Our family takes the art of egg very seriously. We know how to have fun, yes, but mostly we are just sitting around the table feverishly eyeballing each others eggs to see if anyone has a leg up on the other, and deciding if we need to step up our game, quietly getting annoyed with each other if we pat ourselves on the back too much. Last year one of our precious egg's was featured on Kelly Wearstler's pinterest page! My kiddo's are budding egg-art geniuses and in between arguing over who can make the best WORST looking egg, we somehow always seem to create one or two that we just LOVE, like this Malachite-esque looking one. The easter bunny would be proud, right?

Wishing you all a Happy Easter! XO

A Bed On the Floor

Many of you might scoff at the idea, but a lot of us have been through having a bed on the floor at some point in our lives...I had one when my boyfriend at the time and I broke up and I moved in with a girl I barely knew who had about 4 cats, and the house smelled like pee, and bad perfume, and I went to sleep crying every night with my one box of C.D.'s as decor, and a "Sharper Image" sound machine that barely sounded like a waterfall, in my hope that it would drown out the leaky toilet sound that pulsated from the hallway.

In that scenario I didn't have a chance to make it look as amazing as these pics because I moved out after about 3 weeks, but I do have to say,there is something quite freeing, untethered, and even charming about having a bed that sits on the floor.

 A bed on the floor sometimes gives the impression that maybe a person doesn't have their shit completely together. 
I like that. Maybe it reminds me that we all go through phases of not having our shit together, and sometimes that can be fun.
