  • holiday, yada yada

    merry xmas!


    Hope you have fun and stay warm and eat lots and open fun stuff and love your family and all that stuff. I am going on a road trip up the coast with my family…

    Yes. Really.

    We’re going to Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Napa, Sausalito, SF, and Sacramento for a Celtics Game. I’ll be back after the new year!

    AND I’ll be instagramming!

  • the apartment, yada yada

    hi! we’ve moved!

    OK! I finally plugged in my computer in the new place. There are boxes EVERYWHERE and we’re in that stage where we desperately need more storage furniture to unpack the remainder of the stuff but we can’t really bring new furniture in until we unpack to make space and you know the deal. I am going to reveal the really disgusting photos of what everything looks like right now. They’re gross. But will be great for making after shots look way better.

    BOXES BOXES BOXES! I feel like this. Except with boxes and not bags.

    I’m planning on getting a big ol storage thingy for this section of the kitchen.

    And some serious shelving for more pretty items over here.

    This is the wall you see when you walk in. So I want it to be pretty. I’m planning on a fauxdenza. Hide everything in that bitch.

    I set up the living room and scotch taped up our stockings. Which refuse to stay up. We’re also planning on some major shelving here. SHELVING!

    Gideon refused to believe the BBQ wouldn’t fit with our table and chairs on the balcony. I mean, it fits… Anyone in LA wanna buy an awesome BBQ? Right now please?

    We ordered a custom blackout shade for the bedroom. For now, we get to look at this beaut. Please notice I didn’t even bother making the bed to take this photo. Cool.

    Since we watch about 95% of our tv in the bedroom, we switched the big one for the little one. Gideon is seriously in heaven.

    At least one of our two cats is doing well with the move.

    We have two bathrooms (!!!!!) but they both have no storage space and we have tons of stuff. Have to figure out something.

    And the best part is our views. As I type this, I am totally seeing a tree! This is awesome.

    xmas decorating

    Even though I’m a [very unreligious] jew, I LOVE christmas! Not the jesus part or anything, but the tree and the stockings and all of it. The presents are fun too. I stupidly thought moving right before xmas would be ok because we’d have 10 days in the new place before to decorate up. But we have 10 days to unpack / decorate up. This might suck. So now I’m envious of all the lights I see outside of other apartments and houses. They all suck.

    You know when you see someone decorate and you’re like “oh man you really went for it”? Well as much as I like decorating, I hate OVERdecorating. Here’s some decorating that probably took place prior to 10 days before the holiday but doesn’t look all xmas on crack like.

    And please remind me never to move on December 15 again.

#autumnlover #autumn #autumnvibes🍁 #autumninnewengland
i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be done with one less holiday task! we got our holiday cards from @minted and they make so many beautiful designs, i didn’t even feel the need to have nice photos taken! they have incredible quality, ship so quickly, and come with FREE recipient addressed envelopes! 

i usually love to handwrite my holiday cards but i just do not have the energy this year, i used the @minted app to scan all the addresses i’ve kept in a notebook for years, and now I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN! they’re just in my address book so i can do it year after year!

if you want the link for this design and a bunch of other favorites, comment HOLIDAY and i’ll send em straight to your dms! 

and you can use code ALMOSTMAKESPERFECT for 20% off Minted stationery & gifts!*
*exclusions apply. valid through 12/31

i am so so happy with how it turned out, we spend most of our time in the backyard but to be able to sit here and wave off arlo every morning (while the actual school bus picks him up directly from our driveway because we live in a small town like a hallmark movie) brings me real joy!
