Hann fam at the Stand

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.

AndrewSchubert.com launched!

Andrew has a new website (mostly to direct his freelance clients to)!!

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 [...]

Los Angeles Renegade Craft Fair

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 [...]

Amy’s Christmas present

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 [...]

Andrew’s Christmas present

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 [...]

Schubert Eats: Jalapeno Cheddar cookies

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 [...]

My idea of Heaven

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 [...]

Eleanor turns 3!

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…

He thought it would be table-top

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+ [...]

Thanksgiving 2010

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 [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

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….

HP day!

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 [...]

Andrew-isms

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 [...]

Team Schubert has an anniversary tradition.

This year (2010, our 5th anniversary) we took photobooth photos at the booth in the lobby of the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs when we were there in September.

We’re kind of super in love …. and took [...]
