Octopus Hug

















This one's for Kheaven who told me I have a hugging problem... Although if I had 8 arms I would really only hug 4 people at a time. If I tried to hug 8 it would be one of those awkward/lame one armed pansie hugs. And I'm not down with that.

I heart sunsets

Ideal & Real

Living in the intersection of Ideal & Real... which is fantastic, by the way.

Sad but practical

As a person, this makes me sad.






















As a branding professional, I'm totally geeking out on the coolness of this business card.

Cuddle Class

An airline in New Zealand now offers "cuddle class" where you can buy a whole row and cuddle. This is almost worth going on my honeymoon to New Zealand.

Pez are fun

Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies



These look delicious. I think I will have to make them.

Why "Whitefrog?"

The inspiration for our name came from a trip to a rain forest where we saw dart frogs in their natural habitat. Seeing the dart frogs in person, we noticed how REALLY tiny and yet REALLY visible they were because of their vivid coloring.

The visual appeal of these colorful little frogs against the lush greens of the rain forest made a lasting impression. The frogs on display came in all colors, from yellow to purple, blue, black, orange and numerous others - everything except white.

A commet was made "Hey, the name of the business could be 'white frog'" and was shortly followed by a giddy epiphany, "and the tagline could be leap!" At that moment Whitefrog was created.

And that's how we chose the name Whitefrog.

Meet the Frog

Bios are up on the new Whitefrog website.

Come meet the team!

Santa Barbara this weekend... SO happy.

Heh heh.

I'm just sayin'

Dear World,

One by one, my siblings are coming around to blogging. Which is great, because they are brilliant, creative, hilarious and it needs to be shared with the world.

You've no doubt already met Emily.

I would now like to introduce you to Seth!

There is a rumor that Melissa will soon be blogging as well... no word on Sam just yet.

Enjoy.

Sure feels that way

Mr. Boddington

I don't even live in New York any more and I'm still discovering cool things that are there.

Mr. Boddington's Studio is possibly the most charming stationary/invitation/design shop I've ever discovered. Do visit their website so that you may be equally charmed.

A few favorites...

Manhandled

Have I mentioned lately how awesome Etsy is? Take a browse through the next time you have an hour to kill. It will yield tons of inspiration and you'll find some really fun stuff.

Case in point: Manhandled. They are a husband and wife team that make funky, off beat, fun buttons etc.

Some of my favorites:

November 1st

I met IKF on November 1st, three months ago today.

I believe that "anniversaries" should be celebrated on an annual basis (note the "annual" implied in the word "anniversary"), however I thought it worth mentioning that these have been some of the best times I've ever had.

Thank you, IKF, for being a part of my life.

I love you.

Bookcases

This weekend I rearranged my apartment so that when you walk in, the bookshelves are the first thing you see. 

I love bookcases. You can tell a lot about a person by what's on their bookcase... by what looks like its been read over and over again, by what looks like its never been touched. 

When I read this post on Cup of Jo, I thought, I want to someone to fall in love with me because of my bookshelf. Then again, IKF and I spent the first two weeks of knowing each other talking about nothing but books - so maybe I got my wish.

I love looking through my own bookcase too. I feels like looking at a photo album of all my favorite vacations. Familiar stories, characters, places. I like remembering the things that each book taught me. Sometimes I flip through them and look for lines that I underlined or paragraphs that I circled.
