Ahhh...the beach

My husband, Matt, and I haven't been on a proper vacation in forever. We're both usually too busy with work to take much of a break.

But right now -- I'm writing this blog post while looking at the ocean, white sand beach, and the private swimming pool that's part of "our" beach house. (We won this trip to Florida at a charity auction over a year ago. We get to stay at a multi-million dollar beach house that has everything from a private pool, hot tub, volley ball beach court, shuffle board, etc).

Here are some pics...

More pics are on the way. Stay tuned!

Back from the desert

It's always nice to get away for awhile -- even if it is in the desert....in July. My husband and I had a great time. Updates to come!

Nice Day for a Green Wedding

My husband and I are going to a wedding in Portland, Oregon in a couple of weeks. Our friends are more of the free spirit type than the "let's have an extensive gift registry type." I normally hesitate to buy people gifts that aren't from their wedding registry - but, since our friends don't exactly have one, I thought it might be a good occasion to buy them a green wedding gift. If you google "green wedding" or "green wedding gift ideas" you'll find tons of sites. It's kind of amazing how much is out there.

I found an "eco-chic" site called "re:modern" that has stylish, environmentally friendly "green" gifts. I wanted to find something neutral and useful. Here's what I'm thinking about buying. I'm going with a bamboo theme...

Give it a rest utensils, set of 6: $ 24

Bamboo Veneerware 10" Trays: $10

Bamboo Nesting Baskets, set of 3: $18
