Tennis, Diane Keaton style.

It's almost fall and I'm dying to get outside now that it isn't blazingly hot.

I've got the Annie Hall racket and the vintage keds, now all I need is a Woody Allen to challenge to a match.

Quiet Sunday Morning......

I look forward to Sundays. The slowed down paced of the mornings and the entire day actually. No where to rush off to first thing like we do on the weekdays. We usually start the day with a big homemade breakfast, playing, lounging, etc. Just enjoying being together as a family. The sun is shining and it's quiet in the house right now. So naturally a little reflection comes into play.

I stirred up some homemade bread and while that rises in the pan the kids have snuck off to the baby's new room and are playing "house". We pulled out some blankets, toys and furniture yesterday, got it all cleaned up and washed and so my daugther thinks it's the perfect spot to pull down a few of her dolls and use all the new fun stuff!.............very cute.

Last week our family was hours away visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. Not only was the scenery and landscape completely different from where we live now, the lifestyle and towns we passed through and visited where worlds apart from what I know. It was a refreshing, peaceful and joyous trip. I'd love to share a few photos with you as you enjoy your Sunday as well. It's a mix of "artsy", goofy and family photos. xo - Meg

Scaredy Cat

Okay, Okay. It's true, the reason I've been reevaluating and organizing my apartment is that I was expecting a new baby but didn't want to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

I swear, she is not as angry as she looked in her cage at the pound. Hmm... wonder why? Let me introduce 3 year old Minnie, my new love.

I picked her out at the Brooklyn Animal Care and Control on Wednesday and took her home late night after she was spayed. She is the most timid and scared little kitty that ever was, but she does like to be petted and snuggled once you find where she's hiding.

I was so scared that when I brought her home she wouldn't like my antiques and that we'd have nothing in common.

Just kidding.

No, really, i was scared, but she settled onto my folksy kitchen chairs just fine. Thank goodness she approved, I'd have had to take her back to the pound otherwise.

Just kidding, again.

Free, Free, Free!

In addition to the satisfaction that comes with simplifying your life, it's lots of fun to give away your excess cute things to the neighborhood.


It's a good way to say "thank you universe" for all of the wonderful things I've found on the street in New York. If you live in Brooklyn, come on over!
