Thematic Thursdays: Info-Graphics R’ Us

January 19, 2012 · Posted in design, ella simone, fuss, graphic design, Parenting, thematic thursdays · Comment 

So, as a writer for Komplicated.com, I often run across info-graphics, but never info-graphics regarding kids. Until yesterday. I was just reading links in my Google Reader and ran across this, which I thought was hilarious.

I thought to myself, there have to be more of these out there. You’re welcome.

I also created one of my own.

Workin’ Wednesdays: Command Center

January 18, 2012 · Posted in design, mooch, Parenting, workin' wednesdays · Comment 

I’m designing a website right now for Renaissance Mujer, so there’s not much to show just yet. I’m also reorganizing my office space to incorporate my new crafting addictions (Yes, there are multiple ones). I must sign up for a sewing class, though. Seriously.

Lately, I feel like my main job is chauffeur. I can end up with a Santa Monica to Studio City route without even blinking some days. Mooch just booked a Toyota commercial, and that shoots Thursday, so we’ll see where that takes me. Oh, and I’ll have to put on my “Stage Mom” hat that day (read: sit in the trailer with a nice good book).

At home, I’m working on my Command Center. Mooch and I came up with morning and afternoon schedules for everyone in the house. Now I’m working on kitchen inventory, mailboxes for each family member and other sections. Once we’ve compiled and designed everything, it will go on the kitchen wall. Here are some of my inspiration photos:

Revised Renaissance Mujer logo. I delivered it this afternoon. We’ll see! *fingers crossed*

Workin’ Wednesdays: To Do List

January 4, 2012 · Posted in design, marriage, Parenting · Comment 

Here is what I’m working on in a list format:

Design

  • Wedding Invitations
  • Logo for startup (Interior Design business)
  • Website troubleshooting (small non-profit)
  • Banner Design (Surprise 50th Birthday party)

Home

  • Mooch’s birthday plans
  • Hannibal’s birthday plans
  • Reorganizing the classroom closet

Marriage

  • Less sarcasm (from me mostly, oddly enough)
  • More cuddling (We brought nightly Drop Everything And Cuddle time back, and it’s been awesome)

Kids

  • More outdoor time

Thematic Thursdays: Photo Winter Update

Where the hell have I been? Here it is all categorized and photographed for you. :)

Marriage

We’ve been dating, cuddling, loving, working, and hanging out with people like this awesome guy with whom Hannibal used to play MUD (similar to Dungeons and Dragons). I took this picture with my arm extended, because there’s no one to take a picture of us when we’re out on the town.

Friends

Brunches. Lots of brunches. Also, a few trips to the mall, in-home hangouts, Skype sessions, phone calls, and general awesomeness.

Home

Rearranging crap. I got rid of an old TV — actually, it’s still sitting on the living room floor if you want to come and pick it up, you can have it for free.

Reorganizing things for Fuss’ new school year. I still haven’t made the calendar area for circle time. I seriously have to do that before January 3rd. Seriously.

Making the girls Kwanzaa gifts — Waldorf dolls, portable dollhouses, clothespin dolls, and quiet books:

Work

The logo for Renaissance Mujer:

The Booking Packet for Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company (email me to request the full packet):

Schooling Fuss

I put out some pretty cool activities in the last couple of weeks. Among Fuss’ favorite is the washing the baby activity.

She also loves the winter sensory tub (Snow!!!).

More Fuss?

Crafting with Mooch

She sewed a doll out of her socks for a handmade gift exchange at school. In return she received a cool handmade pillow. I sewed on one of the eyes to teach her to sew a button. Other than that, she made this sucker on her own after watching me make my first Waldorf doll (the test doll).
