Surprise, we moved again! We’re still in LA, but in a more suburban area rather than busy city center. While Tyler loaded up the truck at our old place, Fox and I played in the yard at the new one, shooting hoops and mimicking…
My husband Tyler is one of the most selfless, kind, and compassionate people I know. He’s a doting father to our son and my heart feels like it explodes just about every time I see them interact. Tyler has a birthday coming up in a…
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…
Tyler and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and it jogged my memory back to all the little details from our wedding. One of our underlying themes was the movie Buffalo ’66 since I’m from Buffalo and it’s collectively a favorite of ours.…
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…
We’ve been exploring Los Angeles every chance we get and with family in town we’ve discovered so many new places! We recently took Fox over to the LA Zoo to check out the Halloween decorations and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to put…
One of my biggest struggles as a parent has nothing to do with my child. It’s finding friends who are at the same place in life, going through the same types of experiences, and — most importantly — down to earth and honest about it. …
I’ve been traveling a lot and to be honest, I’m totally worn out and ready to relax! I have family come into town this week and so my husband and I have been spending the majority of our time cleaning, catching up on work, and dealing…
Did I ever tell you that I’m a mindreader? Let me show you. I happen to know that all of my readers who are parents set high standards for their parenting before baby arrived and bailed on at least two items on the list.…
Fox is generally a really good flyer, but it doesn’t come with ease. As parents, we know that traveling on the plane with an active toddler isn’t going to be a cakewalk, but we do have tricks to make it more comfortable for the…
Ever since Tyler and I met, I have been bragging about the cool Buffalo fall weather and the trips to pick out a bright orange pumpkin. I’ve tried in vain to thoroughly enjoy the patches out here in Southern California, but just like Jay…
It may seem like we’re in a constant summer state here in California, but around my house we try and stick with the season through decor, activities, and (arguably the most important thing in this short list) food. We still have a little bit more time of legitimate…
A couple weeks ago my husband and I experienced a celebrity sighting and it jogged a conversation between us: which celebrity would you want to bump into in Hollywood? Mine was a no brainer: Pamela Adlon. Although she’s been acting practically her whole life, I…
There’s one thing that my Fox has no trouble with: eating. From day one, he loved his bottles and even easily transitioned to stage 1 baby foods. On his first birthday, he had no desire for a bottle and weening was completely effortless. As…
I have a pretty definitive list of items that I think are worth the investment versus those that I’ll pay pennies for. If we’re being honest, no matter how hard I try I will probably never be able to tell the difference between a…
