Loving this print over at 20x200. And, it's only $20!

Hudson Theodor Davis

I'm now an official Aunt!!! (unofficial an Aunt to Lucca and JP)
Introducing my favorite little buddy in the whole wide world... Hudson Theodor Davis - He came into the world a little early (4 weeks early!) at 5 lbs 10 oz, 18.5 long.

I cannot wait to meet the little guy in a few short weeks. Until then... Thank goodness for Skype!

I heart Sonoma

On MLK day I went up to Sonoma with some friends for a little R&R. We first went on a little hike and found this beautiful lake. I was a wuss and stayed at the lake while the others continued hiking around the lake. It was a lovely way to spend 30 minutes just in peace and taking in God's creation. Then we went on to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission for an afternoon of bliss - mineral baths, steam rooms, saunas, ahhhhhhh. They have a great "Good Neighbor" program that for only $25 you get a day pass to their spa/bath house. Best deal ever!

zinc on the wall!

In reading the WSJ weekend edition this week, I came across an article on painting rooms pink. Perfect timing, as I have been toying with the idea of painting my foyer pink! I think, if done right, it can make a space warm and cozy with a touch of femininity.

If you are thinking pink too, the article is a good read.

Megan's Wedding

I have an incredible talent. Actually, talent may not be the best word, maybe it's just luck. All my roommates (at least in SF) have gotten engaged while living with me! Roommates should really PAY me to live with them! Hmm... now that I am living alone...

My dear friend and past roommate/landlady, Megan, got married this weekend to the sweetest man in the world, Brian. He is literally is the nicest man ever and will make the BEST husband! And I thought I knew some really nice husbands (Nate, Rustin... yes, also my two readers husbands :)).

Here are some pics from the wedding (my camera battery went dead, so these are from my iphone), which... was one of THE. BEST. WEDDINGS. ever.

There was a 10+ band, cigar bar, scotch bar (which i should have avoided but did not), photo booth (which i somehow missed but should have found), classic yet modern (and shorter than full mass) Catholic ceremony, an amazing reception at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum (all outside in the courtyards), it goes on and on...
