Love Is All Around.

April 30th, 2009

A couple of weekends ago, we went to my Mother-in-law’s house in Dallas, and I spent some time taking photos of her ginormous backyard. It’s really spectacular. The thing is, I’m not a smart enough photographer to capture how cool it looks as an entire garden. I could only get the details that make up [...]

LeGrand Design in Pinot Noir

April 23rd, 2009

I like good design. I like wine. I’m cheap. And I make almost all my purchasing decisions based on the look of the label. Oh yes I do. So I really had no hope or impulse control when I found this nifty bottle of Pinot Noir for $8.99 at my local grocery hang out. Luckily [...]

  • And We’re Off!

    I have a number of great shots to post about the Texas Margarita Mixer (so fun!) but first, we’ve gotta get out of here. Austin always plans its Spring Breaks to coincide with SXSW…and there are lots of good reasons for that…so we’re leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when we’ll be back again. [...]

  • Mom 2.0 Is All Over My Kitchen Table

    What a difference a day makes. Since I posted what my kitchen table looked like on Monday, I thought I’d go ahead and show you what it transformed into on Tuesday.
