Jason's weird little treasure

Living with my brother Jason comes with its share of benefits, yummy cooking, enlightened Baltic polka, and his collection of strange and wonderful treasures.
Needless to say Jocelyn enjoys having him around.

Bet you can't do this in Maryland in March

Gio and Zeke came by to visit and joined us in the pool for a little pre-spring pool party. How I will miss those Santa Barbara summer days in winter.

Spring Flowers

This is a super easy and fun centerpiece for spring. I got the wheat grass at Lazy Acres and the Gerber daisies at Trader Joe's. Water tubes with picks on the end are holding them in place while little Easter eggs hide in the tall grass.

I can be the first to admit it

I love the Oscars, I love the glitz, I love the glamour, the silly speeches and the odd spectacle of it all. Maybe it's because I secretly want to run around in a gorgeous dress all day long. This year all though I would say it was a little on the safe side, but there were a few dresses that were down right breathtaking. These are my top 2.
Marisa Tomei in Versace
The flash blows out the intricate pleats that put this beautiful dress together. I love her hair and her vintage Sapphire jewelry.

Amy Adams in Caroline Herrera

This dress moved much better on live film and her jeweled collar is to die for. Plus she is adorable.

I have to say that I simply adore Hugh Jackman. I was a little hesitant at first when I found out he was hosting. But I thought he did a fabulous job with an opening monologue like this.
