friends! how was your weekend? we returned home late last night and have jumped right back into our regular routine here in boston. our kiddos had a great winter vacation in utah – we packed every minute with play dates, our favorite food, and activities. they were sad to leave so i’ve got to keep reminding them in the next few days about what is great about living in boston! homesickness does not look good on little ones.

i’ve been so excited to share with you the highlights, photos, and videos of last weeks {utah} blogger meet ‘n greet. for me, the best part was seeing this event i’d worked on with shelby come together so beautifully.

design fort, a new series…

February 17, 2012

you may have noticed that over the years, i have posted a lot of pictures including “forts” around our house – hidden beds in closets + myla’s indian-style outdoor stick forts {this one was extra unique!} + piles of pillows to hide in + poolside beach towels hanging over chairs. i’ve been reflecting on how rad the “fort” is in a childs life as they are growing up. it gives them a sense of privacy and their own space. building these little pieces of kid-size architecture fuels their creativity.

i thought it would be fun to introduce a new series for see jane blog!

Dîner en Blanc

January 19, 2012

this is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen! Dîner en Blanc. it happens every year (in a variety of locations) and the guests don’t know where they are going until 15 minutes before it starts. you bring your own white table + chairs, everyone wears white and and has a giant dinner party under the stars. most of the time, you are also requested to ride the public transportation to arrive so that the world still doesn’t know what is going on till – presto! the event has started! doesn’t it look magical?
