Wordless Wednesday – Taking a Few Days Off

May 25, 2010 kellytirman Urban Living

I am taking a few days off in honor of Memorial Day.

Yes, I will commemorate the U.S. men and women who died while serving their country. But I will also remember the days not so long ago when I actually slept through the night and had enough time to wash my hair.

Yep I am taking a vacation. I will probably return on Sunday or maybe even Tuesday. I am sure it won’t take me long to get bored.

Oh and if you see me on Twitter, please nicely tell me to go away. I am addicted to blogging and I might be trying to get a fix.

Happy Holiday! I hope you all have a FUN and FABULOUS weekend. Be GOOD to yourself!

Bits of My Weekend – Art, OpenSky & Babyproofing

May 16, 2010 kellytirman Urban Living

After a morning full of errands, we met up with family and friends to celebrate my Uncle, Ernest Regua’s graduation from the MFA program at San Francisco Art Institute.

I my uncle has always been an inspiration for me. Matter of fact, I am quite certain I would have never worked up the nerve to major in art if it wasn’t for his influence. I own several of his painting but this latest series is definitely my favorite. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area you MUST stop by Fort Mason and see the show in person. My photos doesn’t do it justice. The show is running through May 22nd.

Besides my uncle’s work I found several other very interesting pieces. This one reminds me of my desk at work

These three-dimensional heads were also a big hit.

Here is a picture of my dad taking a closer look.

After the celebration, Val and baby Ivey headed home. I on the other hand jumped in a cab with Lizzie B and headed back downtown to meet up with Ted Rubin. It was nice to have a glass of wine among friends, but I LOVED chitchatting about OpenSky and all of its potential.

Since Sunday was Bay to Breakers we decided to take refuge in our loft (like any good local should). We had important baby-proofing tasks to complete. Now that Ivey is pulling herself up to standing these tasks could no longer be postponed.

My husband has many talents however, home repairs aren’t one of them. My handyman skills are even worse – matter of fact, last time the light bulbs needed changing I actually hired Dome. BTW – how do people change light bulbs on a 25 foot ceiling? I would love to know. Anyways, I am REALLY impressed with my husband and his ability to babyproof our loft railing. When did home repairs become sexy?

Lastly we rearranged all our furniture to create an enclosed six-by-six foot padded play area for Ivey. This is our version of the playpen only larger and built out of furniture. Any chance of our loft being featured in Apartment Therapy or Dwell is completely gone – not like we were really in the running to begin with.

Bits of my Weekend – Mother’s Day Edition

May 9, 2010 kellytirman Urban Living

Since this was Mother’s Day weekend I was hell bent on getting at least one good shot of my mom, Ivey and I together. We headed over to my favorite nursery and neighborhood spot Flora Grubb Gardens. Her gardens are BEAUTIFUL and I thought it would provide the perfect backdrop for my very first Mother’s Day photo.

On a side note, every time I am at Flora Grubb Gardens I find myself drooling over her vertical gardens. I am really considering biting the bullet and adding one to my on my patio as well as my staircase railing. What do you think?

Ivey and I took numerous photos, none of which she seemed too excited about. Did I mention I think she is teething?

I did get this one of of the three of us in front of Flora’s vertical succulent wall, which made me happy.

I think the best part of the day way watching my mom with Ivey.

I love how happy they look in this photo. After seeing this, I couldn’t have asked for a better 1st Mother’s Day.

Ivey put her crawl into hyper drive this weekend. My world has officially changed forever. She is so fast I can’t keep up. Who knows this might be the extra workout I need to drop the last ten pounds of baby weight.

Eventually, Grandma Mac got a hold of her and distracted her with lessons on how to suck her thumb. Thanks Mom.

On Sunday I woke up early and took BART downtown.

I spent the morning with associates from OpenSky as well as Danica from Danica’s Daily and Genie from The Inadvertent Gardener.

In the afternoon the hubby, baby and I headed over to Peekadoodle Kidsclub. Help a Mother Out was having a fundraiser and…

Ivey needed to get her Ya-Yas out.

It was also a great excuse to get Whitney, the co-author of rookie moms, to sign my book (Yep – I am a groupie).

While at the fundraiser Ivey finally had her first professional picture taken by Wiz Bang Photography.

This photographer’s work is beautiful. My pictures of her taking pictures don’t do her justice.

90 minutes later. The baby was pooped out (literally).

But she still didn’t want to go home.

Bits of my Weekend

April 25, 2010 kellytirman Urban Living

For the first time in weeks we had a pretty quiet weekend. No weddings or baby showers to attend which allowed Ivey and I plenty of time to hang out and cuddle.

We started off the weekend by doing a little reading. It warms my heart to watch Ivey sit and look through her board books. Doesn’t she look like she is enjoying herself?

Saturday was filled with routine items like swim class and errands. Nothing Fancy.

We did manage to stop by the park. As an added bonus, Ivey managed to sleep through the night – I honestly can’t remember the last time that happened.
