coachella 2010

We all took a family trip to Coachella this year to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Chap, Geli & Junebug were there to celebrate Junebug's first birthday. The girls hung by the pool together and Ruby wrestled and rubbed her head a lot. We took Ruby to the concert the second day and she got to meet the characters from Yo Gabba Gabba backstage. She also went to see Alex perform in Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's. To our surprise Alex pulled her on stage to sing and dance with her. About 10,000 people waved Hello to her. Such a cool way to experience her first show. We all had a blast and to top it off she made it in the newspaper. Next year she's going to want her own tour bus...yikes.

baby boy gifts!

My friend Melanie is having a baby boy and her shower is next week. I've been shopping like a mad woman to find the right gifts for her. Mel spoils Ruby (hermes bookmark and her first ballet flats from burberry) so you can imagine the pressure. Here are a few things from her registry and a few additions i couldn't live without when Ruby was a newborn. All bundled in a baby clothes hamper from the container store. Enjoy!

coachella for kids

Ruby is so excited about coachella and not just to see DJ Lance Rock from YoGabbaGabba but for her outfits. Here are some of the things in her suitcase she'll be wearing to the show. She (and me) are inspired by Stella McCartney from Gap's newest Spring collection. Check out the headphones she'll be rocking out with while listening to her uncle's band (Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero's). See you at the show!

yummy!

this is the greatest jar to keep in your pantry for a quick or last minute dinner. all you add is chicken and that's it!! i suggest serving over a bed of rice, a spoonful of sour cream and some sprigs of cilantro. It's so easy and so yummy. you can find the starter jars at www.williamsonoma.com

Ingredients:
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 to 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 jar (32 oz.) white chili starter
Tortilla chips for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro for serving
Sour cream for serving
Directions:
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, brown the chicken, 4 to 5 minutes per batch.

Return all the chicken to the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the white chili starter and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Ladle the chili into warmed bowls and serve with tortilla chips, cilantro and sour cream. Serves 6.

perfect collaboration

Leica + Hermes= True Perfection (i love).

I have always dreamed of driving this car. Maybe I'll buy it for myself when I turn 40, which is realllyyyy far away. So I know I have time to find the perfect one. I love day dreaming.
