Schools out beach trip!!

The last day of school we headed to Seagrove with a few other families for an amazingly beautiful time at Seagrove Villas. Just a short walk to Seaside and a few steps from the perfect gulf. We had a ball. Friends fest!!

MJ is snow leapoard.






















Nico, Rex, Henry, Mathilda and Gabby on the first day.






















Nico trying for the big one.






















Nico and Hutch building the ultimate big fish. Wishful building!!






















Mose, doing a different kind of fishing.






















Which he got really good at. See all of them in the bottle.






















And out.






















The girls!!!!






















We walked into Seaside a few times and the kids got to hangout and spend their money on ice cream, t-shirts, magazines, lollipops and bracelets.

















Cooling off after.





There was a farmer's market one day and Jeanne, Douglas and I bought fresh peaches. This one looked incredibly like...well you see. Awesome, right!






















The Dolphins came out almost every morning and evening. Gabby, Milly and Reedy are checking them out.


















Cottage No.1 at Seagrove Villas. Very cute, but not the cooking kind.

















The bracelet making begins.






















Georgia's surf is up!!






















Ok, what's with the purple mustache? Oh yeah, another Seaside shopping trip.






















Since our kitchen was the size of this Macbook we spent time in Seaside for lunch. Although I believe this was Josh's breakfast one day.





Kimaree and Georgia after tacos. And sunglasses shopping :)





Baseball on the beach.


















Hutch takes on the waves.






















Grayson and Georgia building their dream castle.

















The kitchens were a bit to be desired, I believe I mentioned before, but this cracked me up. All we had for the salad was a frying pan.


















Kids pic at the magic light hour.

















The End. Thanks friend.

Mose and 5th grade week

Mose finished up at little Lusher this week after a crazy week of field trips. On to middle school. Tear.





















With his friends at 5th grade sock hop.


















With buddy Michael.





















And Matthew






















His 2 BFF's Ms. Olinde and Mr. Rheilmann

I went to NYC recently and hung out in the city. A few highlights here.


My favorite, first thing in the morning, outing in NY is heading from of my brother's apt to Jack's Coffee Shop on 10th street and 7 ave. Only place in NY that makes an Au Lait. Perfect. 





















2} Abc Carpet and Home

The windows always inspire and the 6 floors of sheer interior delights make my heart pound. I also got to have lunch with my friend Nicelle at ABC Kitchen, which was really yummy.





















3} Grafitti

I love grafitti. And any public art installation. Light polls and windows included. And NY never disappoints.  A few highlights.
















































































Anthro window.















4} Theatre- I love musicals

Since I was by myself, I headed to 47th street on Friday night to stand in line for a ticket to see The Book Of Mormon. Sold out show, but they sell the tickets of people who don't show up or cancel at face value. Got one. Amazing show. Written by the guys who created South Park. Hysterical.





















5{ The Alexander McQueen show at The Met.

OMG! WOW! So inspiring and just so well done. Must see!!




















6{ Hanging with my brother Kyle.

He is always a few steps ahead of me, as is true of most New Yorkers. Love him!





















7{ Shopping-All Saints

I found a new place that I have shopped online with before, but the store in SoHo was really cool. 100's of old Singer sewing machines on the walls. Great asymmetrical designs, which I love.

Camp St hangout

I am working on a teenage hangout for a friend on Camp St. Here are a few boards from the job.

Love the marque peace sign.



Guitar pillow rocks.



Family snapshots changed to black and white and blown up on the computer to fit Ikea frames create a inexpensive, custom look. Warm and nostalgic.
