Last year, the work holiday party was a big ol’ TO DO …. involving an SUV limo and about 8 hours of hang out time with the big boss…
This year it was a lot more laid back….
They made a reservation at Bleecker Street.
Just for [...]
When my family is in town all I want to do is take them to all the good food places we visit…..
So after visiting LA Renegade, Andrew and I finagled a trip to The Stand on Ventura.
Andrew has a new website (mostly to direct his freelance clients to)!!
AndrewSchubert.com
He’s posted his first entry – Why I Became and Audio Engineer
Please click through and read it (and comment for him) – it’s soo interesting!
I’m super proud of him!
So, if you have any friends or [...]
For whatever reason, the weekend my parents were in town, Los Angeles FORGOT that it was December….
That Sunday (mid-way through December) it was something absurd like 85 degrees out. Yuck. I am not a fan of heat.
But, since it was “so nice outside” (my mother’s words) we thought we should all go [...]
I also got a toy from Kevin for Christmas – a LEGO Harry Potter board game.
Who knew such a thing even existed!
It’s pretty fantastic, too … the stairs “change” (just like in the book/movie) based on how the dice is rolled so every game is different.
But, really, the best part was [...]
Some of you already know – Andrew and I have already had 1/2 of our Christmas.
My parents and brother came into town over a week ago (Dec 10-12) and we did Christmas with them that weekend.
I got an email from Andrew on Friday about 3p saying that my parents were already here [...]
I don’t know if you’re aware, but Design*Sponge is crazy awesome. For many reasons.
And one of those reasons is the recipes they feature.
Like these Jalapeno Cheddar cookies.
Andrew made them last week – it was kinda fun for me to be able to take cooking photos and NOT BE COOKING at the [...]
Last week Andrew and I made a trip down to Burbank for a little Christmas shopping …. We stopped by IKEA and the $1 bookstore to browse.
The $1 bookstore selection was a bit disappointing – the price point makes up for it, though.
Since we were looking [...]
Over the weekend we helped Eleanor celebrate her 3rd birthday!… .In true 3-year old style, with pizza and cupcakes…
Maggie and Josh had taken her to Disneyland (for her first time EVER) on Friday, so between that and her new girly/skirt phase, Eleanor had a tinkerbell birthday…
Saturday Andrew said to me, “So, tomorrow we’re going to help my mom get a Christmas tree with your truck.”
Oh really? Are we?
Andrew and I weren’t planning on getting a tree:
No time (no time) to take a trek together to pick out a tree I didn’t really want to spend $50+ [...]
Our Thanksgiving day this year felt like it went by really REALLY quickly.
Which is always sad on a day off from work.
I had grand plans to make this amazing-looking Onion Tart for a Thanksgiving appetizer, spend some of the morning relaxing, and then leisurely head up to Santa Clarita for Thanksgiving dinner [...]
Thankful for this boy ….
Thankful for 5 years together and photos to commemorate…
Thankful for turkey today and breakfast with friends tomorrow … .
Thankful for warm blankets and Netflix live streaming …
Thankful for books to read and love….
Last Thursday Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 premiered in theaters.
And I took the day off. Yes. Yes I did.
And – lucky me – Andrew got the day off too …
We got to spend the whole day together!
Starting with a visit to a local used bookstore:
We used [...]
Apparently, I have a scarf collection.
Who knew?
From top to bottom: Crocheted purple and crocheted green: Made for Andrew and I by Angela Crocheted green and white: Made for us by Michelle Crocheted blue and white: I made this one with yarn bought in San Francisco with a gift card [...]
This boy always (ALWAYS) makes me laugh …
See previous Andrew-isms here
(said when we still lived at the Schuberts)
Andrew: You know one thing I’m always glad of when Hazel sleeps in our room? … Andrew: I’m always glad she’s not glow-in-the-dark. ___________________________________
A conversation between Andrew and Spencer: A: How long [...]
