thinking about future
February 6th, 2010 | Category: chloe, family, shaneAndrew: Chloe, let's talk about your career. What do you want to be when you grow-up? Do you want to work in Wall street like daddy? Or do you want to be a designer like mommy? Or do you want to be a doctor like dr. Michael?
Chloe: Daddy. I think about it.
Andrew: Okay. So tell me, Chloe. What do you want to be?
Chloe: I want to be a pizza delivery man, daddy.
a letter from uganda
February 4th, 2010 | Category: chloe, craft, family, shaneChloe decorated this beautiful mail box.
Then we got a letter!
I was so touched to get a letter from Joshua, one of the 2 children we sponsor from Africa. We chose Joshua because he had the same birthday as Shane. He lives in a highly affected HIV area in Uganda but sounds like he's doing good and having a lot of fun with his friends and family. It was so great to hear from him. We love you, Joshua! You and your family are in our prayers…
car shopping
January 31st, 2010 | Category: chloe, family, happy purchases, shaneWe're finally getting a bigger car for the growing family. We are literally running out of room in my Volvo with two active kids, their strollers, bicycle plus my huge diaper bags with all kinds of kids stuff… A lot of our friends have said, "It's about time!"
We're doing "whatcha talking about Willis" face.

cozy reading time with Daddy
Some big boys didn't want little boys to play with them so when Shane got pushed aside, he confronted them with loud "WHOA" standing tall. Shane's one tough boy!
Shane fell off the blocks right after I took this picture. I'm so sorry…
Shane loves playing peek-a-boo and hiding inside curtains.
Where are you sailing to guys?

We're going here this summer. Can't wait!
Exiting the museum
my day off
January 21st, 2010 | Category: art + design, inspirationsToday was MY day off. I had some appointments in the morning with suppliers for my new baby jewelry line, but after that, I had the whole afternoon to myself. I started out my day with breakfast cupcake from my favorite bakery, Magnolia!
I passed by Time Square area and it reminded me of my old advertising days when I was working 12-14 hours a day. I DO NOT miss the hours but I do miss the exciting work I used to do. My solo work that I did for beautyjungle.com was featured here for a couples weeks in December 1999 turning to 2000 Millennium and I made my friends stand here in the coldest night to watch my 12 second work of fame. It was the screen above the Europa cafe. Good times…
After my meetings, I met up with my hubby for a lunch date at a cozy Japanese restaurant.
Then I spent the rest of the afternoon at MoMa. I love taking kids to museums BUT I love it even MORE coming by myself. Let the creative charging begin…
The amazing works of…
