Brooklyn Moms: Where You At?

May 21, 2010

Before I had Elise I didn’t know any Moms in our neighborhood. Sort of surprising considering we live in Park Slope, perhaps one of the most kid populated neighborhoods in NYC, but I suppose our focus was more on eating out, happy hour, traveling, work and our dog (Hi, Sash!), so we didn’t really have [...]

Does Elise Need Denim Diapers?

May 19, 2010

Marisa just sent me an email she got from Target featuring baby denim diapers. For serious. How hilarious are these? I’m pretty sure they are 100% ridiculous, but is there any chance they are at all cute in person? I can’t tell from this photoshopped baby image below.

A Street Fair for Foodies

May 16, 2010

As we’ve said before, the 5th avenue street fair in Park Slope is one of the best street fairs in NYC. It’s not of these zeppolle, mozzareppa disgustingness street fairs (well, it is a little bit, but not totally), it’s a street fair for people who love food. And thanks to all the great restaurants [...]

Little Peanut at Two Months

May 15, 2010

Elise is two months old now! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by so far. It feels like it was just last week that we were driving over the Brooklyn Bridge to get to NYU to have this cute little peanut. But now she’s 8+ weeks old and she is doing great. She’s [...]

We had a killer stoop sale last week

May 6, 2010

Here’s one of our flyers (it was a series of four) from our stoop sale last weekend. We were able to get rid of a ton of stuff and made a nice handful of change. All in all I highly recommend.

The Meaning of a Name

April 10, 2010

Lots of folks have asked us the origin of the name Elise Ariadna and I realize I didn’t mention in the last post why we picked that name. We picked Elise, as it’s a derivative of my Mom’s name: Elsie. My Mom was actually named after her Grandmother Elise, so we decided to go back [...]

Excellent talk from Tom Peters on Education, Over-Medication, Creativity and Hiring

March 10, 2010

Some really great bits in here: “We nail facts into students’ heads and there’s nothing wrong with it if the goal is to employ someone for 40 years in a Ford Motor Company Model A factory.” “The A students work for the B students, the C students run the businesses, and the D students have [...]

Sasha and her Peeps

March 5, 2010

I am working from home for the week, so I got to meet Sasha’s friends that she walks with everyday and whom I read about in the Daily Poop (the note the walker leaves each day) when I get home every night. Mobile Mutts posted a photo of their walking crew back in September; above [...]

I’m starting my own studio and I’m calling it Tinker.  As those who know me might expect, Tinker is going to focus on strategy, experience design and product development in the mobile, social [...]
