Tomorrow we head back to the West Coast after a 3-week long stay in Buffalo with family. I don’t know about you, but if I had house guests for 21 days, I’d literally be tearing my hair out of my head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Add a toddler…
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.…
Last Thursday I had the opportunity to attend a Best Friends Friendsgiving Feast thrown by Tasty and Del Monte® at BuzzFeed LA in Hollywood. Even at a quick glance of the invite I knew this was going to be good. I’ve spent hours watching…
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…
If you haven’t guessed it already, I *love* fall. I was born in September and some days it seems like apple cider runs through my veins. Living in California has major perks, but every year that rolled around when I first moved to town…
I’m slowly but surely crossing off a few items on my summer bucket list. Tonight’s adventure? The Hollywood Bowl! I had marked “interested” in seeing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Facebook, and my sweet friend Suzie who runs the blog HappyMess…
“You are the future of our people, Moana. And they are not out there. They are right here.” We have watched Moana as a family no less than 30 times by now – it’s one of two movies that Fox cannot stop requesting! I…
There are few cocktails that I like more than a good old fashioned mule. If you’re not familiar with this drink, let me introduce you to the most common version: the Moscow Mule. Moscow Mule 4 oz. Barritt’s ginger beer 1 oz. lime juice…
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…
My husband likes to joke that puzzle games keep our marriage thriving and I have to agree! I play them often and always recruit my husband to help me along the way. They’re fun for the whole family and keep my mind sharp. The…
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…
One of the most important things to me when traveling is immersing myself into different cultures. I disguise myself as much as possible to avoid looking like a tourist so that I can really feel what it’s like to be a part of the…
I spent Thursday night in Downtown Los Angeles networking on the balcony of a building overlooking the Staples Center (I heard Katt Williams performed that night!) for an event hosted by Cupcakes & Cocktails. It’s just what it sounds like: cupcakes infused with cocktails.…
I’m writing this post with sweaty palms – this is big one! I spent the past couple days in Los Angeles to attend the #CelebrateOutdoors event put on by World Market at a private beach house in Santa Monica. The ladies who put together…
