i do love me some cheesecake...

and i especially love this recipe from tyler florence's food network show. it's lighter than traditional cheesecakes and it's nice and lemony which i love. i've made it a few times and it's always a hit. this time i was short on sour cream and had to substitute half greek yogurt and it still worked. go make it. i don't know what you're waiting for. it even takes fewer ingredients than regular cheesecakes.

saturday morning...

just ate a delish bacon sandwich for breakfast. watching property ladder. making tea. this day is off to a lovely start. 

what i would write if i could...

i just wandered onto a great design blog. it articulates much of what i think about design and creative direction in a way that i wish i could or, in a way i would like to think i will someday take the time to. all of these things flit through my head and then i move on and don't write them down. or, sometimes i do write them in my notebook and find them later. it surprises me when i find them...cogent thoughts on the process?! when did that happen? 

what a day

today was one of those days where you just have to keep reminding yourself to keep things in perspective. over and over and over again...

jen had a baby and it made me post!

i seriously forgot i had this  blog. amazing. see what a new baby brings to the world? new adventures. fresh starts. a new baby is like the smell of rain.  it's raining here tonight.

one of the best smells in the world is the smell of a baby's neck. i fell a little more in love with jeff when i saw him pick up my niece's baby and go right to that place that only parents know where that baby smell is that you never forget no matter how old your kids are.
