Introducing Reese Anne’s Elizabeth Zimmerman February Sweater in burnt orange. Her mommy and daddy are both Texas Longhorns so I...

Miracle from Ryan Booth on Vimeo.
hi friends, i’m taking this opportunity to give a little positive PR to my brilliant, hard-working hubs. R has been writing/filming/editing himself silly the last few months in preparation for entering a Vimeo contest called Beyond the Still. Its was created by the guys who helped to envision how to creatively use SLR cameras in the world of film. The...

modern shopping
so i’ve realized lately that I have begun to frequently utilize my iphone as a digital mirror when shopping alone. I seriously feel like alicia silverstone in the opening scene of “clueless” when she says that she never trusts mirrors so she takes polaroids of herself to chose an outfit (i don’t think this is a good thing). since the beginning of time i have been a lousy...

boulder and such
about a month ago, ryan took me skiing for the very first time. its something that he grew up doing and was hoping that i would like so that we could take trips in the future, and i was excited to try it out as well. ryan insisted that it was exactly like rollerblading (which i didn’t necessarily agree with after the fact), but none the less it wasn’t too hard to pick up and we had...
oliver+s icecream dress love
I’m so very in love with the latest Oliver + S spring pattern for the ice cream dress. The name was inspired by the color block version which apparently reminded the designer of neapolitan ice cream. I was so excited to find it in the mailbox the other day and can’t wait to whip one up for teeny R or the next precious baby girl love that comes into my life. The examples above are from...

e is for elephant...
spent the morning with my favorite zoo buddies checking out the animals at the Houston Zoo. It was Reese’s first trip and the first time that Dylan has really been old enough to get into it. He was immediately obsessed with the elephants which he continued to request at each of the other animal exhibits, on the way to the car, on the way to lunch and intermittently while eating his cilantro...

pants
made these over the weekend for the bitty boy and girl… reese’s are going to be HUGE for a bit, but they are still so cute! These are the Bedtime Story Pajama Pants from Oliver+S, I love these patterns because you learn great sewing techniques as you work your way through. I have a dress pattern to try next and it will be my first attempt at sewing anything remotely...
husbands
i like (and of course LOVE… so much) my husband for thousands of reasons… one of which being that he leaves me messages typed out in huge text documents on our 20” imac screen when he goes away. So when I come home from work and turn on the computer, this is what i see…
he’s pretty great huh? yeah, i knew you’d agree…
people
“Peapol” as my nephew dylan says… he calles all humans people, as in, the mailman drives by in his mail truck and Dylan will wave excitedly and say “Hi, people!” then then we walk by a little girl in Target and he waves and says “Hi, people” … its one of my favorite little things that he does at 2. anyways…
i have a favorite baby right now at...

Haiti
So, I’ve been trying to figure out how exactly I feel about the suffering, heartache, sadness and hurt that’s happening in Haiti. I’m sitting here listening to the Hope for Haiti now fundraiser on tv and remembering sitting on my couch in college watching a very similar program right after 911 with a heavy heart, also not knowing what to feel. How does God call us to respond to...
