Requests from Kathleen Jordan

You have ten minutes before school drop off and leaving for work to be your own person for the entire day. What are you throwing in the crock pot for dinner?

LA area interior designers and also landscape architects that you love and don’t work exclusively with gajillionaires?

Apple Watch bands that are cute? I love the blonde tortoise shell Machete ones but I feel like their quality has taken a dip. I’d love to be watch free but I’m trying to find ways to avoid phone use in front of my kids.

Recs for pimping out my backyard/patio for entertaining guests? Looking for recs for adults and for kids. Help us be the party house.

PRODUCTS: gimme your empties. What are we using till the last drop?

New metal (NOT nu metal, though, respect)? Albums from the last ten years that are cohesive and make you feel something and are beautiful?

Non crunchy socks? I HATE when socks get crunchy after washing. Or when they crunch while you’re wearing them. I have chills as I type this.

LA Eastsiders: where are we taking the whole family (in our case, a one year old and a five year old) out to dinner lately? We are loud, we’re eating early, and we’re bringing craft supplies.

What drinks are you drinking that AREN’T Diet Coke?

CURTAIN SHOPPING! I need non boring non boho options for a house that needs more color. Any faves?

I suspect my son, who's almost one, likes TRAINS. What do people like as far as train tables go? What's a gorg option for his room or, if gorg enough, for our family room?

LA intentionally big brow havers: where you going on the east side? I don’t have it in me to keep driiiving to the west siiide

I need help wrapping my head around FRAMING many things (kid stuff, valuable art, memorabilia, $10 posters). Please give me your framing wisdom: insights, websites, shops in LA, the Pinterest post that solved it all for you and made you whole again?
