JD (finally) posted the photos he took from our trip to Brooklyn & NY. They turned out great, as per usual. He’s a talented photographer, with a bad ass camera. He is responsible for all the amazing photos of the babies in my new organic line! They brought a lot of adorable to the table on their own, as you can see… but I was grateful for his help that day.

Anyway, as for his Brooklyn & NY photo set, it’s a tad wild to see them a few months later, with our relationship behind us, but very nice nonetheless. I love life documentation. Take a look:

I have a feeling he’s not done, as he’s big into posting only 10 or so every other day or something. I’m looking forward to seeing what else he’s got up his sleeve (er, on his hard drive).

Oh hello, originally uploaded by Willo.

My hairdresser – the awesome Paul at Descend Salon – gave me the first cut, chopping about 8 inches off, but gave me a 2 weeks window after the first cut to decide if I wanted to go shorter… And I did!

So you can see here the final outcome, and really what I wanted the whole time. That said, I was glad for the interim get-used-to-short-hair-again cut. It was like 2 different haircuts within a week! :)

Check out this photo set to see more.

Further proof that my life & my friends are AWESOME: From August 7th-9th a bunch of us went camping at Sugarloaf Ridge in Sonoma… or as we call it, Wine Country Camping. Here’s the evidence:

Saturday we couldn’t get our morning campfire started, and because our huge campsight had no shade (no fun in that sun & heat), we simply went the 3 miles down into Glen Ellen for brunch & then went for wine tastings all day! After a full fun day, we came back & feasted by the fire, sang songs, played board games & passed out by midnight.

It was so relaxing to get away! I love camping.

Here’s the full set on Flickr.

Renegade SF was a bit hit! Thank you to everyone who stopped by!!

I loved that it was dog friendly, too… I got to see cutie Carver!

A big hug thanks to my helpers/friends Jen, Lindsey, Sabrina, Randy & Kurt, too!

I hope to get the new organic baby line & rock squirrel totebags up in the shop ASAP. Stay tooned!

Actually, this photo just cracks me up, but is one of the few fun ones taken last night.

Here’s another of me & my awesome friend Alex, who just flew in for the launch of the Whuffaoke tour (Karaoke across America)!

The question you should be asking is why are you drinking champagne & having fancy cheese & cracker snacks at the beach? More importantly, how did you get there? A plane? A boat? A LIMO, PER CHANCE?

Actually yes. See, on top of it being Tara Hunt’s bday, she’s also taking off for the Whuffaoke Tour & moving back to Canada (!). So her sweet friends Karen & Emma got all of us girls together (uh, and Alex :) for a fun ride around the city in a limo, before a late dinner at Home. Good times!

Here are more photos (& even a vid in my set):

Emma should have some photos up soon, too.

Limos are kind of overrated, but it was fun to spend time with my girls, and you can never have enough champagne & fancy snacks! :p Thanks again Karen & Emma. And Happy Bday, Tara!
