Lonny Magazine - March 2013

I am fully aware that posts are slow going, but I have a bunch of stuff ready to roll out soon and we have been busy celebrating a TWO years old birthday (more on that later) - YAY.

Meanwhile, be sure to check out the new March issue of Lonny Magazine (more here if you are not familiar :).  Thanks again for the support as I finish up a few very time consuming projects.

Lonny Magazine - December/January/February 2013

Three months is better than one! Be sure to check out December (if you missed it, like me) and the new January/February issue's of Lonny Magazine (more here if you are not familiar :).  Recently, AZ and KL ganged up on me in strong opposition of my Lonny posts, which is ironic since they are basically staring in their own Interior Design show (only they ALWAYS need my help :).

Merry and Bright

A Visit to LACMA

A few weeks ago we met up with BM (and her adorbs family) at LACMA for an art filled family day of fun.  Child friendly highlights included:

• Metropolis II (a Chris Burden installation)...sooo many cars and so cool.
• Jumping in puddles (which is a traveling exhibit :).
• The Boone Children’s Gallery (kids can paint to their hearts content).
• Chasing KL throughout Urban Light (more running).
• The awesome Stanley Kubrick exhibit (do not miss this one, it's really good - less child friendly but don't let that hold you back - it's beautifully done).
• Playing in the Jesús Rafael Soto sculpture, Penetrabile - aka - Yellow Plastic Spaghetti (although, we weren't sure if it was super fun or terrifying).
• Hanging out Behind the Berlin Wall (located across the street). 
• THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY: Riding in the huge red elevator for 45 minutes straight.  HML was deeply moved by Barbara Kruger's work, so much so that we were forced to physically remove her from the fun.  It was cute (not the crying part) but I did officially learn, you actually can have too much of a good time. #TakeTheStairs :)

Ornament Making {via Aesthetic Outburst}

A while back, Abbey Hendrickson (the extra talented author of Aesthetic Outburst who also has a fab new craft book that is worth checking out) made 20 ornaments in 20 days.  She recently blogged about it, and since we are having our own little craft night on Thursday (YAY - MB) I intend to channel my inner Abbey.  Do you make your own ornaments?  I plan to start that tradition once HML is old enough to not draw on her face 100% of the time :).  You can view Abby's entire series here.
