GET IN TO THE KITCHEN!!!

A few years back when Luke was about 3 years old, he thought I was ignoring him when he needed a snack, and he yelled at me in his angriest voice “GET IN TO THE KITCHEN!!!!” Now if any other man ever yells that at you RUN…(away from him)! But obviously this incident had my in fits of laughter. It’s funny how as a mother you always end up in the kitchen. Fixing snacks, cooking dinner, cleaning(!), and of course it’s the perfect gathering place for friends. I love eating good food, and I’m fascinated by friends who can whip up a good meal since I’ve never been able to master the art of cooking.

But I do believe creating a kitchen that has a friendly, happy and inviting atmosphere is important. In our kitchen I choose a yellow and green scheme. This is our window seat, which is always the favorite spot for any young dinner guest, or tired friend.READ MORE GET IN TO THE KITCHEN!!!

Butterfield 8

Anyone seen Butterfield 8? It’s one of those movies where the interiors are so amazing it distracts me from the story, and after a few minutes I find myself obsessively studying the background instead of listening to the dialogue. Doesn’t mean the movie is not great, everything is just so icy blue and white and “blingy” and chic in her apartment.READ MORE Butterfield 8

Thank You Nancy Meyer!

Saw a great movie this week – “It’s Complicated” by Nancy Meyer. Finally a movie with a woman over 40, even over 50, actually 60(Yeah!) in a romantic lead role. It’s about time! A radiant, amazing Meryl Streep in one of the funniest movies I’ve seen all year. You’re not only enjoying the great script, with characters who are extremely funny and believable. For two hours you get to spend time in Meryl’s character’s sunny, charming Santa Barbara home. I wanted to live in that house, be invited for dinner in the cool kitchen, eat her delicious looking food, then sit on one of those cushy slip covered chairs in front of the fireplace.READ MORE Thank You Nancy Meyer!
