Showered with love...and new recipes

The wedding planning has just taken a turn for the delicious with our amazing new shower and early wedding gifts. I honestly have never been so in love with chopping vegetables in my life.

Tuesday August 9: the lobster night of all lobster nights

I was in Montauk earlier this week for an abbreviated beach trip which coincided with my future father-in-law's birthday... could there possibly be a better way to say happy birthday?

Give me a Summer Break

I apologize to any readers for my slackness in the past month in posting. I'm not sure if it's wedding craziness, work craziness or the general 100 degree heatwave lethargy that ruined my posting momentum, but I promise I'm now back.

Thank you everyone who has been waiting patiently for the next post.

I may throw up

From million dollar campaigns to million dollar smiles

I don't know how this blog title could better describe the changes that Anna and I have gone through since our big bad NYC ad days, but I was excited for the opportunity to collaborate as art director / copywriter for the Waco Fourth of July Parade, and this time I KNOW the client was happy with the result.

Interestingly, the art director hat (literally and figuratively) went to Anna this time and I wore the copywriting one.

Christmas in July!

My very own scoring machine.... let the card-making begin!

WORLD O' DOG™

Yesterday may have been the best fourth of July ever. Mike and I decided to pay tribute to the melting pot that is America and have a little fun with the nation's favorite food. He's with me tonight to guest-blog our creations (and to remind everyone that these creations are copyrighted. Please see us for usage rights and franchise opportunities)...

Raw and uninhibited, this dog is served with pickles and a wasabi ginger sauce.
