Finding Balance
As we slowly begin the season shift out of sleepy winter time, it seems that the pace of life has begun to pick up. It’s as if everyone and everything simultaneously got the memo that it’s time to come out of hibernation – every day of my schedule is suddenly scribbled with commitments. I can…

Speaking of Dreaming
We all need a place to capture our wildest dreams. Something tangible to to remind us of what inspires, what ignites our passions, and what brings us hope and joy. In today’s digital age many of us (myself included) tend towards a tablet, keyboard, or even phone to express ourselves. But I think there is…

Indulgence
After a long week at work, I wandered into DC’s new Anthropologie (950 F Street, NW at 10th Street) and found these waiting for me in the sale room… And just couldn’t bear to leave them sitting lonely on the shelf. So much to Andrew’s chagrin, these beauties now live in the trailer with us. Are…
