This week was a wild one, which explains the reduced number of blog posts. Saturday was Emerson’s school’s spring fair which included a talent show. Emerson performed, singing the song “Stay” (we changed rum and cola to Coca Cola). Right after we headed to our friend’s baby shower. Sunday I met ump with eight friends from…
Karl and I are always looking for indoor places to do photo shoots for the blog. Places that are spacious, have great lighting, not too distracting of a background, and we won’t be in the way. When the Hotel at the University of Maryland opened, it became a favorite place for us to take photos….
Above are photos in my phone from the past week or so – enjoying the hammock with Emerson, with my hair stylist Billy, sun streaming in our bedroom (Karl rides his bike on a trainer in there), working at The Wing, lunch at Republic, dinner with good friends.

I have two bags I use on a regular basis – my ALLSAINTS tote and my Dagne Dover backpack. I keep them in the dining room so it’s easy to switch between them. The rest are upstairs in my closet, I bring them down and fill them from the bag in the dining room and…
I have lived in Prince George’s County, Maryland almost all my life. My parents moved here from DC when I was a toddler. I even went to the University of Maryland College Park which is in PG County. After college I lived in Annapolis for a stint, but when Karl and I moved in together…
