The Rad

A Voice From the Past

August 30th, 2011

Yesterday, Jenny sent me an email full of ghost voices. (After she wrote this lovely thing here.) If you know Jenny, it isn’t all that surprising that she found an oddity, but this one stopped me. With her superhuman internet search powers, she found an obscure interview that my great uncle PJ did in the [...]

The New Kirtsy.

July 27th, 2011

You know how we’ve been talking about reworking Kirtsy for 2 years? Yeah. Well, we finally finished it! Bam! Only took us 700 days! Funny thing, this is the third site we’ve concepted and started developing over these last 700 days. And in that time frame, the new Kirtsy has had three very different looks [...]

French Stripes.

July 16th, 2011

Nautical blue and white, or red and white, horizontal stripes are so French aren’t they? We saw them all over France. Check out baby June Blair here. She’s rocking the stripes. Looking very French in France. So while we were climbing up Mont St. Michel, we passed a Saint James shop full of French stripes. [...]

Bonne Maman

July 15th, 2011

There is nothing better than these cookies…except maybe for Betty Blair saying “Bonne Maman s’il vous plait” in her sweet French 5-year-old voice. We lived on these in France and all the way home. Now I’m craving them…and ordering more. You can order a variety of Bonne Maman galettes and petits beurre here at France [...]

  • How to Make Kids Like Vegetables

    Q: How do you make kids like vegetables? A: You plant a garden and have the kids grow the vegetables themselves. This was the answer someone gave me. This completely did not work. In March, we started this little backyard garden. Squash, early pumpkins, okra, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. I’ve tried all of these things [...]

  • Sometimes You’ve Just Got To Laugh…

    And laugh we did on Wednesday night. I love this photo. Me and Victor (Jenny‘s husband) laughing along with 350 others as she did her reading in Austin at Book People… right after she found out she is #1 on the NYT Best Seller list. The whole evening was such a celebration! These are the things [...]

  • Spring: Day 26 1/2. The Last 38 Hours.

    So I’m sitting here, trying to figure out how to be clever, and I just don’t have it in me this morning. I’m still spinning from the last 38 hours. So I’ll just tell you about them… You see, right now I’m living in a state of extremes. I don’t know if it’s timing, or star [...]
