Tyler was away these past few days for meetings which left me and Fox with some serious quality time to bond over almond butter and banana toast and sidewalk scribbles. Here’s a few tidbits of admiration and other funny notes on Fox at 2…
Admitting the realities of your parenting system is always a gamble — it seems like everyone has an opinion on what’s firmly right and wrong, even if it’s subjective. Here’s a peek into three of the areas that we give Fox leeway in our…
“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…
One of the things I love most about my son is his innate kind behavior towards other children. If another kid rips a toy out of his hand, he smiles at them and finds another toy. When he sees a new face, he says,…
A few days ago I was flipping through my Facebook feed and saw a girl I went to high school with writing about her 3-month-old. She was concerned because he’s constantly inconsolable and she can’t figure out why. Every symptom she listed made it…
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. …
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…
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…
Has anyone seen that glorious photo of Sigourney Weaver posing with a pumpkin floating around? That’s literally me waiting for fall to arrive (except I’m holding a pumpkin spice latte and knitting a chunky scarf simultaneously). For reference: So now that we’ve cleared up…
