2025… lovely, not the year itself, who knows about that, yet. The numbers 2 0 2 5, they work, not symmetrical, not perfect, no huge kerning issues, a nice start to a new year. This is how graphic designers see the world. 2021 was a lot of kerning, the number one needed to be movedContinue reading “Happy 2025”

“The David”
I was recently reflecting with a group of friends about high school. They pictured me as a girl from a tv show, “you were the one running the student government, had the lead in the show that was fundraising for some cause…and everybody knew you.” 100% no. I was pretty quiet, my bestie was theContinue reading ““The David””
For Jacob & Ella… your very own Swoon
Our “kids” just got married and there will probably be many Swoons to come about the process of being a wedding coordinator, but this one is about my Swoon. It started with… Mom, do you want to do a toast, or should dad, or do you both want to? Then it became, Mom, can youContinue reading “For Jacob & Ella… your very own Swoon”
Thankful Series…Rain Room
I was looking for a picture last night. Scrolling. Scrolling. Scrolling. BOOM. There it was…not the picture I was looking for…but this one. Rain Room at the MOMA. We got on the standby line at 5am. Manhattan at 5am on a Saturday is something. Sitting on the pocket park wall, we were with other peopleContinue reading “Thankful Series…Rain Room”
You say you want a revolution…
Pleasantville Schools are full of pretty awesome traditions… the Kindergarten Circus; grade-level plays that culminate in high school musical extravaganzas; Walk in My Shoes day, were kids experience what it is like to have learning and physical differences; parades featuring Halloween, favorite book characters, and graduating seniors; prom dress viewing in the front circle; concerts;Continue reading “You say you want a revolution…”
The Cat Came Back…
My little guy’s ears perked up when he heard me singing this song the other day. At the the time I could not figure out how on earth it got into my head, now it makes sense. Zoom. Before 2020, all things Zoom were about a group of spectacularly cool (and a bit nerdy) tweens.Continue reading “The Cat Came Back…”
Being Five
Being five means you get to wear two pairs of gloves when you want to. It means french toast tastes better when cut into 24 bite sized pieces. It means being both in love and a bit afraid of a 10 pound dog. Being five means you can ask to marry that 10 pound dog,Continue reading “Being Five”
Sharing Goodness.
Good Morning! My fb memories have been bringing me smiles lately. A few years ago when the future seemed dark and grim (and I am talking before the pandemic — ha, who knew) I reached out to my fb community and asked them to share a nice story, some goodness they had created or experienced.Continue reading “Sharing Goodness.”
Clutter
My girlfriend is moving, actually a lot of my girlfriends are moving…or have recently moved. Downsizing to be closer to family, downsizing to rid themselves of cheating husbands, downsizing so they can work less with lower overhead, upsizing for some lovely generational living with their parents. Cha cha changes. With change comes decluttering. One ofContinue reading “Clutter”
SLOJ
Sammy, Lionel, Olivia, and Jacob… better known as SLOJ…grabbing the ABBA model of using first initials to create a band name. I would have forgotten all about the Thanksgiving band SLOJ if it were not for a memory popping up on my husband’s fb account. Unfortunately, unlike ABBA, SLOJ lasted about 2 hours. They brokeContinue reading “SLOJ”
