First, a little education about our new little friends (straight off their pop containers). “Blue Giant” / Sedeveria Hybrid is one of many intergeneric hybrids between Sedum and Echeveria. Forms rambling clustering plants. Excellent for rock gardens. Porus soil. Protect from frost. Provide bright light; hardy to 36˙F; to 6″ + tall. Water thoroughly when…
herbs
On one of our Ikea runs a couple of months ago, savannah spotted these super fun little pots and exclaimed that they must be the home for her herbs this year. We waited a while to get them until it was closer to herb planting time (and we didn’t have so much unboxing to do)….
ronald reagan presidential library and museum
Savannah has a mild obsession with Presidential Libraries, I guess you could say. Many of her family vacations were centered around visiting one or more and after college, she worked at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum for almost four years. On Saturday, we made the nice little 45 minute drive to Simi Valley…
home tour: the bathroom
We know some of you want to see more of where we’re living. It’s a work in progress, but we’re beginning to get things in a bloggable state. First up: the bathroom. This might be a little awkward to share–especially first–but there are several things in here we’re excited about. First, we love our window….
chicken-and-veggie stir-fry
What’s that? You’re freaking out that there were two non-recipe posts back to back? I know. Fear not, for this post features food. We’re big on the stir-frys… They’re fairly simple (as long as you remember to prep everything before you start cooking), require little clean-up (just a cutting board, knife and one skillet, well,…
trader joe’s
Remember how we said we were going to blog about Trader Joe’s? Well, we’re finally getting around to it. We’d heard a lot about Trader Joe’s, but didn’t know quite exactly what to expect. The first time we went was right after all our stuff had come off the moving van and we were still…
disneyland take two
Last weekend, we got to take Jill and Justin, Brandon’s friends from undergrad at Texas A&M, who now happen to be LA-ers themselves, to Disneyland. It’s so much fun to be able to go to Disneyland whenever (well, pretty much). Perhaps the best part is knowing that when we get tired, we can leave and…
lemony broccoli rabe pasta
New month means another Southern Living and new recipes to try! You can find an online version of the recipe here. You may notice our photos look nothing like the recipe. That, friends, is because we’re not so great at reading everything through and melted the goat cheese in instead of crumbling it on top…
alley-oop at poketo
A couple of weekends ago, February 16 for the calendar counters, we went to Alley-Oop, a design exhibition at Poketo in Downtown LA. savannah’s high school friend Will Bryant and collaborator Eric Trine created Alley-Oop. It will be on exhibit all month long, so be sure and stop by if you have the chance. It’s…
