This time last week I was in the future. Really, it was Florida, and then the Bahamas, but it was a physical glimpse into what’s coming… eventually… I promise. Upon arrival in Orlando, we walked the half mile from the hotel to the restaurant in the dusky evening with no coats and no socks. Breathing…

That’s it. That’s all I want from you. Just to read. Please. Read this blog, sure, but so much more. We don’t read enough. And even when we do, we don’t really. Raise your hand if you’re a skimmer. Oops, hard to type one handed. In my line of business (Blogging? Designing? Writing?), I spend…

I had the idea the moment I thought about my grand bb coming to my house to play… I will need bb stuff! And not just play stuff, but important stuff like bedding and a stroller and high chair and a car seat. And scads of adorable teeny tiny clothes! And diapers, too, I guess. Even MY grand bb…

Have you noticed? How could you not? THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! Of course I’m talking about babies– and right now especially, their prequel—pregnant women. It’s a rampant contagion! Baby bumps are busting out all over. Seriously, look around– Friends, neighbors, co-workers, celebrities… Personally, I’m immune, surgically inoculated. But for those of you susceptible, consider yourself warned! Threat…
