While these little guys have already made the blog rounds I couldn’t resist sharing as an accessory to yesterday’s first aid kit. Hooray for Cynthia Rowley! Limited edition, and a portion of the proceeds go to a good cause. Assortment of 20 for $10 here.
Can’t wait to get a hold of these in August when they’re released. Lots of other lines too, but these are my fave.
Sweet! I would totally rock a bike that had heart treads, and if I think back to myself at the peak of my heart and unicorn craze, way back in the 80′s (and perhaps into the 90′s – truth be told), I’d be doing flips over this. I can see myself now, swerving to and fro in order to hit each and every puddle on the sidewalk just so I could see the tracks behind me.

Hey, hey. I’m still alive, just been a little busy and a little lazy. I actually have a good reason for being gone and that was a surprise trip up to Seattle to see mom and dad (with help from brother as co-conspirator). We did all of our favorite family things: cooking, eating, napping, and lots of laughing. It was a GREAT weekend.
One of the best parts was coming home to see that dad had fashioned this crazy contraption in an attempt to scare away a regular visitor to his koi pond. He’s managed cats, possums, and raccoons but there is one animal of the avian variety that is making him quite nervous: the lovely blue heron. It often comes to hangout by the back pond because they love the water, but they also love fish, so while he hasn’t stolen any dad is on a mission to keep him at bay.
As much as we’ve tried to explain that a visit from this majestic bird could be considered somewhat rare and special, dad is in full-fledged Caddyshack mode. I have no idea how it works or how he came up with it, but it’s crazy and genius at the same time!
Weird? Yes. But not out of the ordinary. Ahh, I have the best family ever.
This might possibly be the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. (And a great way to start the week, no?)

Let me count just a few of the ways…
- My lover is coming home after a month away! (The Net is a strange place, so I didn’t mention this before.) I had a lot of fun these past few weeks: girls night’s out, eating excursions around the Bay, solo date night at the Opera and then again at the 4th of July Bonobo show. (Yes, I went to a club…on the 4th of July…alone. IT. WAS. AWESOME!). But as great as this time alone was I can’t wait to have my best friend come home.
- My LA friends are coming up to bid adieu to Foodie Friend Brian. Once again there is much to be eaten.
- I start a new job next week! A chance free-lance lead turned into a full-time offer. This is going to be fun….
Life is good.
Happy weekend, friends. Hope life is good with you too.
I love Bakerella! She never ceases to amaze me with her gorgeous Cake Pops and desserts. I often dream about finding the courage to attempt to recreate these on my own, but my past experiences with cooking/baking disasters has me a bit weary; I can’t help it, I am a complete grouch when my culinary adventures don’t pan out. Her Pop Stars section does give hope since it showcases submissions from her readers. Another great resource (and confidence booster) will be her first cookbook that’s due to hit shelves in September. Hmm, maybe during Christmas cookie season I’ll set a goal to sneak these in the rotation.
Her latest creation celebrates the release of Toy Story 3 and once again she nailed it. How perfect do Mr. Potato Head and Hamm look in cake form?! Brilliant, I say.
Take a peek below at some of her other pops that I call my favorites. (Hello Kitty! and Winnie the Pooh!) And be sure to check out her wonderful site for instructions on each of the pops.

Hooray! TOMS has added espadrille wedges to their shoe collection, and they’ve got a great little collection of colors and stripes. If you’re not familiar with TOMS, all of the styles (wedges or flats) are super cute, but perhaps the sexiest thing about them is that a child in need receives a pair of shoes when you decide to get a pair for yourself. Who’d have thought shoe shopping could get any better? A cute pair of shoes and also helping provide a child with a new pair (sometimes even their first, ever) always makes me giddy.
If wedges aren’t your thing check out the other styles. (I’ve been eyeing the Glitters and the Wrap Boots for a while now.)
Another fabulous Google home page today! A real working version of Pac-Man to celebrate his 30th anniversary! Just press the Insert Coin button and use your arrows to move. AWESOME!
This was too good not to share. Topos Graphics and Sarah Riegelmann got together to create this magnet as part of a personal anti-SUV guerilla campaign. Ha! Love it.
