There’s something so satisfying about giving gifts with a theme. Each item makes the thought come full circle and spices up any ordinary gift. Get your man these presents alone or scoop up all the bells and whistles! Here are a few ideas. Record Player…
Surprise, we’re moving again! Well — just down the street, but it’s still happening. So what does this mean for us? Decluttering. AGAIN. So we’re skipping Christmas presents this year with one small loophole: each family member will receive a stocking filled with only…
We celebrated Fox’s second Halloween with an Ace Ventura costume and you could totally tell he knew he was cute. This was his first year trick-or-treating and he did so well! He’s finally getting the hang of holding hands without trying to pull away…
I’ll let you in on a little secret: Disneyland is a ghost town on holidays. Most crowd-predicting websites will tell you different, but each and every time my family has visited the park on a holiday it has been more comfortable to navigate than…
Happy Easter, everyone! Last year Tyler and I went all out. We hosted Easter brunch at our house, the kids did the egg hunt in our backyard (except Fox because he was itty bitty), and all three of us got a visit from the…
While you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today, I’m already getting a jump on Easter! My family is still testing the waters with traditions out here in California. We usually cook up brunch and dye Easter eggs, with our main event being a silly Easter egg hunt…
Hi everybody! I’m following up from my recent post on my top 7 men’s Valentine’s gifts with my picks for the ladies. I’ve never been a pink kind of gal, but seeing as 2016 is the year of rose gold it’s fitting that’s what I’ve been drawn to…

You may remember a month or so back when I posted about our friend’s getting married at a place called Rawhide Ranch. This place was so neat. It looked like an old western town complete with farm animals, a saloon, stage and dance floor,…
The long weekend is wrapping up in my house with a busy Sunday, but I want to drop a quick note before it ends. We did Thanksgiving a bit different this year since we stayed in by ourselves as a trio. I cooked my…
The day after Thanksgiving always marks the day that we put up our “family” Christmas tree. We love the holiday season around here so we technically have two trees – one that goes up pretty much right after Halloween that’s more for show (white lights,…
Something funny happens when you get older. People tend to move away, get married and have children – everything changes. So when the holidays roll around it’s always interesting to see how deep-seated traditions stir into new ones. I’ve mentioned in past posts that…
Fox said his very first word yesterday. We were at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and he blurted out “Mama” a couple times in a row when we prompted him. This kid is going to give me a heart attack with all he’s…
