valentine's day idea
seth and i have been working for aol's holidash blog for ahwhile now. they asked me to create a series of how-to videos for valentine's day. please ignore the uninspired title "crafts with kendra", i'm working on something a little more creative, promise.
the idea of a how-to video was a little overwhelming.....they are usually so cheesy! but, i had some great collaborators (zack + hadleigh) and together we pitched a stop-motion treatment. i'm so happy with how they turned out, except the bit where i'm talking. if you can't tell i was totally nervous. the last time i worked on some videos i got an angry phone call from my former boss (starts with an "m", ends with an "artha stewart").
there are 4 videos featuring 4 cute homemade gift ideas. this one was my favorite. big props to reagan for the best blow-out i've ever had. she's a hair genius. oh, and the crayon craft was inspired by my friend liz.

blah
seth and i have been shooting some stuff together. we just finished up a big book project that will be published in september. details soon! and some more for the aol holiday blog. yeah. it has been very cool to work together. when we used to shoot together it was bad news......but now there is just a very cozy collaboration. i feel really lucky to shoot with seth- he has an amazing eye and is very patient.
anywho, our place has been turned upside down and inside out. we have just enough time to clean up the last stuff before we start again next week. stella is getting very good at finding things to do to entertain herself. like turn on the dvd player and putting in a movie. just kidding! ok, kind of just kidding, she can actually do that all by herself. she's also learned how to open the fridge and get out a snack. she's not as good at closing the door as she is at opening it. but really, she is growing up so much. we have a singer and dancer on our hands. anytime there is music playing she is jiving. she is also into naming people. if she's saying a blessing at meal time it can get quite involved....something like "blah blah blah (indecipherible) mommy, daddy, stella, bear, grandma, grandpa, anne, allie, kisses, blanket, blah blah blah, amy, sock, megan, sophie, noah, addie, baby (maebe), cole, aubrey, avery.......". she is also really into the playground. we go once or twice a day. she loves to climb up the big slide, then hurry and come right back down on her tummy. she is afraid of the big twisty slide now. and the swings are still a favorite. when i push her from the front she'll count to 3 or 5 or any other random number and then say "go mommy" which is my cue to do an under-doggy. we are kind of experimenting with a nanny share with a friend who lives in our building. stella has been going about once a week all day and loves it. we love it too- she gets to play with a buddy all day and because we drop her off at someone else's apartment it is nice to be able to come back to our place and be really productive and get a lot of work done. hmmm, can't think of anything else to update except for her huge crush on diego.
so here's my favorite thing we did for aol, it was on summer drinks:
