My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I […]
Letterpress Utility Cards [Wishlist]
A few years ago for my birthday, I received a set of blank cards. They were beautiful, no doubt, but I couldn’t help but be a bit disappointed, thinking, “What an unoriginal gift!” Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong, because I am still using those cards, for everything from “Thank You” cards to birthday cards […]
Custom T-Shirts Giveaway!
A couple of weeks ago, ooShirts contacted me about a possible sponsorship. After perusing their website, I couldn’t help but agree — not only is their custom design process simple and intuitive, their prices are some of the lowest I’ve come across on the web.

Inside the Architecture and Sets of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are probably well aware that the Harry Potter film franchise will come to a conclusion this Friday. J and I probably won’t be able to watch the movie until next weekend due to a lack of a babysitter, but you can bet that we are eagerly awaiting the […]

Canon vs Nikon [Infographic]
Digital Photography School has sparked another Canon vs Nikon debate by posting the following infographic earlier today: As much as I would’ve liked to see more technical data, I can only assume that the resulting infographic would be about 5x larger due to the wide range of products each company provides! On a more personal […]

Brain Dump
As I rolled out of bed this morning, I almost collapsed to the floor in a ball of agony. “Hello, pregnancy hip pains,” I muttered to myself. “Now I remember you!” Hip pains and crotch pains. Hip pains from my hip joints loosening (I was not officially diagnosed with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction in my last pregnancy, but […]
A Beautiful Compendium of the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm
Growing up as a book worm, I loved me my classic tales from Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. While it’s true that these stories have been through multiple translations, reinterpretations, and even censorship, I believe that there are too few things from our childhood that can equally transcend both culture and language. A […]
Tweets and Stripes
To my fellow Americans, Happy Independence Day! As usual, the web is filled with Fourth of July celebrations and dedications. My favorite for this year is Code for America’s Tweets and Stripes: The site aggregates twitter avatars from users who tweet about #July4 and beautifully mashes them up into a mosaic representation of the stars […]
