It’s been a big adjustment going from hanging with Fox 100% of each waking hour to dropping him off at school and only having him nights and weekends. I get as much time in with him as I can, so I generally try to…
Fox’s first word was “Mama.” He said it unexpectedly around 6 months old when we were just about to leave the Safari Park for the day, and I felt like I could have floated right into the sky up to the clouds. From there,…
On Thursday, Tyler surprised me with a trip to Malibu to go one a wine safari (as cool as it sounds) for my 30th birthday. Basically, you hop aboard a custom safari truck while getting a tour of an insanely cool private ranch where…
With Fox starting school last month, we’ve been getting into a solid morning routine recently. Every morning he wakes up first and starts running around the house yelling, “Day!” which is code for school. I think it comes from us asking him if he…
Tomorrow is my birthday, which means I’ll be taking two days to explore Los Angeles and celebrate turning dirty thirty! The celebrations started today when I headed to the Dry Bar in Burbank to get a blowout courtesy of FX’s Better Things! Remember that…
I have always been obsessed with things that go bump in the night. Scary movies, ghost tours, spooky stories… from a very young age I’ve taken a liking to it all. I’ve spent the night in haunted spots like the Stanley and the Queen…
Today our adventures took us to an antique toy warehouse in the Los Angeles Arts District for a special screening of DreamWorks Animation’s Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie! The entire event, courtesy of Fox Home Entertainment, was carnival-themed and action-packed with fun stuff…
If you’ve already figured out that the title of this post is a wink at an amazing Portlandia skit, then I love you. It is just about the 3 year anniversary of my sweet husband putting together a pickling kit for my birthday! For…
Today was a very exciting day in Beverly Hills where I was treated to a guided tour of Hulu’s The Mindy Project: 6 Seasons of Style at the Paley Center for Media. Better yet, I heard firsthand all about each item from the collection’s…
Today we picked up Fox from school and headed to his first appointment with the dentist. Honestly, I was white knuckling it. Fox has always been a wild one, but take him out of the house and don’t expect him to stay still. It’s…
I’m going through a breakup, but it’s not what you think. I remember being curled up on the couch crying like my world was over when my high school boyfriend and I were on the outs. We dated freshman through senior year and I…
I’ve finally gotten to the point in my life where I realize that having a small (comparatively, because let’s be real here), intentional wardrobe is a better fit for me than having mounds of clothing around that I’ll never wear. This has helped me…
Fox is just getting to the age where he’s realizing that he’s not yet built for all rides and attractions. He gets frustrated at other theme parks when he sees people piling onto thrill rides that he’s too small for as of yet. I…
A few weeks ago I was invited to visit the Skirball Cultural Central with my friend Shiri and our families to see the Noah’s Ark exhibit — an interactive experience for both children and adults. This permanent fixture unique to the Skirball has all…
The second Sunday of every month is my favorite day for shopping because the Rose Bowl Flea rolls into Pasadena and brings out the best flea market finds and local artists selling the fruit of their hard work. Before we moved to Los Angeles…
