he brought me ice cream

I lived in Manhattan right out of college, pursuing a life upon the stage. (If you know what that phrase is from, you and I are probably friends in waiting) I had a wonderful 4 years chasing my dream and my favorite city. I left New York for fashion school in Los Angeles and have worked for a fashion company for 8 years. I have lived in LA longer than I lived in New York or Omaha, NE (my hometown), yet I identify with both those cities more. Go figure. I have a wonderful husband and a darling little boy who is the center of our world. I started this after I decided to stay home with sweet T. I love being a mama but I have found it challenging to remain pretty, let alone self-tanned and poised. This blog is dedicated to little luxuries that keep me feminine while being a wife and mama. Sometimes the little things lead us to the big moments or create a moment worth remembering. The name of my blog comes from a fantastic line from my favorite audition song, “Ice Cream” from “She Loves Me.” Something as small as a man bringing a woman ice cream changed her day and eventually her life. Dramatic, yes, but wouldn’t life be more fun if our strongest emotions were always expressed in song? I love musical theater, the color green, running without a cell phone but always with music, pretty clothes, the smell of new books, all gymnastics, the olympics (frighteningly so), scents, my very funny family, rescue dogs, and many other things.
