Lobster Love

Joanna's post today reminded me that there was an upside to my failed McQueen attempt 2 weeks back: an amazing lobster lunch at Luke's Lobster in the East Village. It was a happy accident because we were headed to Caracas Arepa Bar but the wait was too long. I wasn't even aware of all the lobster roll hype (in fact, I thought my comadre was referring to sushi when she asked if I wanted a lobster roll), but I kid you not, these things are DELICIOUS! I don't even think we stopped to take a breath other than to repeatedly share how delicious the rolls where.

A little weekend inspiration...

I started a blog for moms and little ones called Little Skyline...check it out

Happy tulips

It's going to be a cold week. And as if that wasn't bad enough, we're expecting snow again. So I picked up purple tulips at the market this morning and already I feel better (granted, it hasn't started snowing yet). And they make me think of my sister...it's her birthday today!

Speaking of happy tulips, I just love this ad. Jules is obsessed with eos lip balms. He loves that he can handle them on his own (they're the perfect size for his little hands). I love that they're natural and free of chemicals.

Weekend inspiration

Surviving snowmageddon is going to take some serious inspiration. I’ve got new tubs of paint and clay for Jules, fresh broccoli for a yummy soup and the PBS documentary The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo on DVD.

Here are a few other things that should keep us occupied….

 

Matchbook joins the growing list of online lifestyle mags. Charmed indeed. Yet another reason to get an iPad.

 

I’m not the only one that could use an iPad. These beautiful apps warrant a bigger screen.

This print has been calling my name for weeks now. A 20% off sale might seal the deal.

Loving this one too. 

Lollia products make me happy. And the Imagine handcreme my sister gave me for Christmas definitely makes me smile. And no wonder – according to their website, Imagine is a floral fragrance impression of the most beautiful day imaginable. 

Catching up on all things Alt will be a breeze with this handy list of posts. (On my list of things to do next year). 

Bloggers are swooning over Steven Alan’s Spring 2011 collection. Can’t say I blame them.

 

Lights, camera, crewcuts! Jules needs new outfits for that Palm Springs trip I’m dreaming about.
