It may have snowed last week here in Buffalo, but these days it’s nice and warm outside. We’re experiencing the kind of weather where you only really need a coat to shield you from the April showers. Most people might disagree with me, but…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tetra Pak for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. There’s been a lot of new experiences in our home over the last six weeks. Not only did we pack up and move…
One of my earliest childhood memories is standing by the sink as my grandma, or “Mammies” as I still like to call her, would drain the liquid from a can of Pearls® black olives right before she would stick an olive on each finger…
Last week I headed to West Los Angeles to meet up with Ling Ling for a second cooking class, this time in celebration of Chinese New Year coming up on February 16th. Fun fact: It’s the Year of the Dog, meaning that people born…
Some time ago I saw an article about a woman who counted the amount of time her son looked at her over a period of time — times that she usually would be scrolling through her phone aimlessly. This was a rude awakening for…
Almost three years ago, I was planning Fox’s 1st birthday party. I chose camping as the theme and promptly purchased all the party supplies and a woodland-themed high chair banner emblazoned with “1” on the middle flag — the excitement was mounting! A few…

My ultimate comfort food can be found in just about any kind of casserole. When the holidays roll around you can find them front and center on most dinner tables, but have you ever found yourself indulging in a yummy breakfast one? If you’re…
Funny story: when we first rented the home we are in, we were on cloud 9. We went from a tiny apartment with bad neighbors to a home with a yard where Fox could dance all he wanted without a broom handle “applause.” Tyler…
You know how people tell brides to be to do everything they can to enjoy the day because it’s likely going to be a blur? I get that feeling every holiday season. Like so many others, this is my favorite time of the year.…
These days, Fox is overwhelmingly independent. He wants to prove himself more and more, opting to do anything he can by himself. He’s putting his own shoes on, picking out what he’ll wear to school, and telling us what he wants for meals, amongst…
November marks the start of holiday entertaining in my household. I’ve always been a fan of appetizers and small plates over full meals, unless it’s Thanksgiving of course, so you’ll usually find my dining table filled with bite-sized foods for guests to graze over…
Let’s be honest: I bought these persimmons because they look pretty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m a sucker for their beautiful orange color and have tried a few eaten raw like an apple in the past and found that I didn’t have a real opinion on them.…
Fox is on a “just like Mommy” kick. My little shadow is constantly mimicking me and I’m taking full advantage by trying to get him on board with new habits. He loves to do puzzles like me, uses his play broom to sweep when…
There’s been a lot of natural chaos in the world lately, from earthquakes to hurricanes and beyond. It’s heart-wrenching to sit back and watch everything unfold, knowing your beautiful home could be taken from you at any given second. Days before the large quake…
