la domestique added these words on Jan 23 12 at 1:02 pmI’m sorry about your grandpa (I lost mine this year, and it’s a strange feeling, like the end of an era). Thanks for the inspiration today!

Get yourself a warm cup of coffee to make your day a little cozier. Also, I’m sorry to hear about your grandpa. It’s never easy to lose a loved one. Take care.

I see that you made spaghetti with fried egg (a la Mark Bittman?) It’s one of my favourite simple things to prepare! xxx

kayla @ exquisite banana added these words on Jan 23 12 at 9:10 pmso sorry to hear about your grandpa. I just spent the weekend with mine in what could be the last visit I have with him (he just received a terminal diagnosis at 87). Tough stuff, but makes me even more cognizant of appreciating the simple stuff.

Michelle added these words on Jan 31 12 at 6:36 pmI LOVE the idea of keeping track of your daily “events” with the iphone lens. Tech makes it so easy to document our daily lives these days, and why not? Very cute, and I too love the calm of a Sunday morning. Sorry to hear about your grandfather.
