February is wrapping up. And no, it’s not a leap year. Consider this a friendly PSA that my birthday is basically moments away (March 1st always seems to sneak up on people). I’m not always so clear on how timezones work, but I think I’m already 35 on the other side of the world. Meanwhile, Grace keeps asking if I’m 45 yet. So there’s that. But I don’t want…

Today: Running + Purple Rain.
You know you’ve been listening to more Prince than usual when your two-year-old starts singing “Purple Rain” to her Fisher Price farm animals. It’s making me alternately very happy and a bit depressed. Materials used: Golden fluid acrylics (Dioxazine Purple), Handmade Modern acrylic paint (lavender,…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Adventure, Week 4
On Wednesdays, we wear pink. And on Thursdays, we get messy. I tried to tackle, in some form or fashion, each of this week’s prompts from the Get Messy Art Journal program (it’s never too late to join!) while limiting the supplies I used– a…

Today: A mid-week day trip and the perfect Cape playlist.

Today: 12/12/12
We visited the Mayan ruins at Tulum a few years ago, and our trusty tour guide assured us the world is not going to end this year. So there. No more worrying. Today marks the first and last time I will see 12/12/12 on the calendar,…

Today: Our wedding reception.
If that last goofball dancing photo was any indication, I had a blast at our reception. Before we made our way to the venue, though, we took our little trolley around the corner from St. Cecilia for formal photos with our wedding party and families…

Today: The Bachelorette.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve never watched the show, but if it’s anything like this past weekend, I’ll be DVR-ing the next season. I got to spend the last three days on the Cape with some of my absolute favorite people. Equal parts low key and dancey,…
