Wallpaper (center, paisley) fabric (I want to put the cheetah everywhere!) and paint swatches for my color scheme. I’ve been living in my painting clothes for about 2 weeks now. A ratty, green t-shirt covered in smears of the various paint colors we’re using around the house and a pair of those ridiculous jeans that you [...]  If you are a single male and read this blog, take note, there are some incredible single women in this world and I would like to encourage you to get your act together and think about getting married some day. Obviously there are some terrific guys around, it’s just that the girls have to do [...] I am glad that Andrew and I went to the Hirshhorn Museum, it’s usually the one I skip in favor of the National Gallery. I know the National Gallery by heart, enter the main entrance, take a left then another left and you are in heaven, the most fabulous Rembrandts. I am attracted to some modern [...]
We all need inspiration for the constant task of keeping our families fed during a busy week. So please tell us what your favorite, week-night, go-to dinner menu is (include a picture if you can) and we’ll choose some to feature each day on Pinkpeppers. (Don’t worry, we won’t take the credit, we’ll give the first [...]  Post-race, it's never felt so great to just be standing there drinking water! I have never considered myself to be much of a runner or much of an athlete at all so when I decided on a whim this January that I should run a 1/2 marathon I didn’t really expect to go [...] I am here in Washington D.C. visiting my seventh grandchild and when I first laid eyes on him he looked very familiar to me, not some stranger boy who I’d wonder where he came from, what his ancestry is, but he just looked like he belonged to our family, like I’d known him forever. Erin and Tim [...]  Elly!
Congratulations on winning the arrayed et adorned tie! And thanks to everyone who participated! I sent Freyja off to visit her cousin’s pre/play-school today. I packed her little lunch in a cute bag. I picked out her clothes before she woke up. And then, because I couldn’t quite stand the thought of her being too grown up, I tucked a bottle of milk into the sack, just in case she needs a [...] Well, well, well, amazing but true, Andrew and I both managed to get TEN DAYS of packing into two 9″ X 14″ X 22″ suitcases. That is a small amount of space! We even smashed in a few baby gifts. When we went through the x-ray process, Andrew, of course, sailed through while I was stopped [...] Don’t miss out on the FREE tie for some little guy in your life! Just leave a comment on the post and you may be able to dress up a little man in your life. Chances end on Thursday. We ordered a tie from Arrayed et Adorned for Matthias's Pipe & Drum uniform. (Matt's a [...] OH MY GOSH!! Andrew and I have now been married for THIRTY YEARS! Today!! I remember a long time ago, and I can not believe it has been that long, when seeing couples who had been married for that long my first thought was that they could not possibly understand the love, the desire, the passion that we [...]
Announcing the spring pre-sale on “Bathing Beauty Suits”! The long awaited lady-like swimwear is on sale now, in four fresh designs to choose from so your little ladies can hit the beach (or pool, or sprinkler. . . ) [...] Searching desperately, I hope there is an old magazine in the pocket of the seat in the car, if all else fails at the least a flyer ad, something to read. I have to read. If I have just minutes to wait for someone to finish a class or a sport, I want a book [...] Valiant was born Easter Day at 12:25pm and weighed in at 6 lbs 12 oz. He is healthy and peaceful. Both he and his mother are resting quietly. |
