2021

It’s almost here. This year has been an interesting one. It has had its share of ups and downs, probably more so for more people than the average year. I can say with certainty that it has been my super strong support network that has kept us afloat. There have been times when I clearly understood just how bad things could get without this kind of support. I am extremely grateful, and also very sad for all the people, especially single mamas out there that do not have this incredible gift. I am trying my best to avoid blanket statements like “next year is going to be amazing!” or “It’s finally over!”. Mostly because I […]

Kemp Muhl

Style Inspiration Charlotte Kemp Muhl is a musician, a writer, a model, and long time partner of Sean Lennon. She also happens to be one of my girl crushes. I love her style. It has a vintage, rock-n-roll twist that I adore. And she makes me miss my natural, dark hair color. Here are some looks that I love. I feel like Charlotte and Sean are just as well suited as John and Yoko. ❤️ Love, Maca

Birthday Cake

It’s my niece’s birthday, and she asked me to make her favorite cake, so of course I said yes. I couldn’t just make a boring old cake, though. I wanted to make it more fun. She is not a little kid, but I feel like with everything going on in the world right now, we could all use a little cheering up. Since blowing out candles is pretty much off the table right now, I though this might be a nice substitute. I didn’t leave much room for the usual “Happy Birthday” script, but I think it’s pretty cute anyway. I’ll let you know how it went! Love, Maca

Rain

We have rain! A lot of it. A real downpour. It is so wonderful, and refreshing. I love the rain, and I have been waiting for the rainy season to start. It’s difficult to say how the rainy season will turn out here in the Bay Area. A lot of the time, it is pretty dry. But oh how wonderful it is when we get a lot of good rain. Everything turns from yellow to green, and the earth comes alive. There are two more reasons to love the rain. I have been waiting to buy these lovely wellies. Seriously love these, and I think they will look adorable with my vintage dresses. I’ll be […]

Bugs

I have been starting to consider buying a new car. I absolutely adore my car, but there are little things that I am not thrilled with (its a little loud inside when I am on the highway, and the trunk is nonexistent), but it is definitely a great car. Good on gas, small, and very reliable. I would like to pass it on to Lulu Blue since she will be 16 next month (that’s going to have to be a post on its own) and ready to get her license. The problem is that I suck at car shopping. I don’t like the way modern cars look, I don’t like big cars, and I am […]

For him

If you have a fella to shop for, I have some ideas for you. This is a strictly Etsy gift guide, because Lulu Blue and I have been trying to move away form Amazon, and are doing most of our online shopping on Etsy these days. I am actually very happy with the change, and I would highly recommend it! Here are some gift ideas for your guys. It’s getting cooler! Even here in California we are pulling out our coats and scarves. Keep your boy’s ears warm with this hand knit alpaca hat that you can get here. I love these cool beer glasses. You can get individual ones that you like, or go […]
