We’ve had a crazy (but fun) couple of weeks at our house. My mom just left yesterday from a weeklong visit and Tyler was gone the entire week before that for a business trip. I was actually horrified going into it trying to think…
I came across a giant organic papaya when I was placing my order to Milk & Eggs last week and I had to put it in my cart. I knew it would make the most incredible breakfast, but I wasn’t quite sure which direction…
Whenever I travel I almost always prefer to walk from one place to another when exploring a city center. I will walk miles upon miles if it means stumbling upon hidden gems and seeing aspects of the world that aren’t always pointed out on sample…
This past weekend we drove 5 hours up the coast to Monterey for Mother’s Day weekend. We’re pretty lucky to have a child who oddly loves to take car rides, but we do keep a handful of healthy snacks in the car (fruit leather, berries,…
To know me is to know that I love tacos. There’s nothing that compares than warm homemade corn tortilla, no matter the filling (mine are usually stuffed with al pastor and smothered in sauces). I’m actually ashamed to admit that when I moved to California I…
My mom is coming to town in just over a week and her favorite thing to do as an East Coast native visiting California is to soak up the sun on our patio. We haven’t given it much TLC since the house came with…
As most of you know, I moved to California over six years ago, and while there are many special reasons that I call it home, one that has taken some special attention in our home this year is the proactive approach that local and…
You guys, I’ve lost 15 pounds! It’s been a little over a month since I’ve started to eat healthy and regularly work out and I’m definitely seeing a difference. I still have a long way to go, but I can tell the difference both…
You may not know that I’m originally an East Coast girl! I called Buffalo, NY my home for 22 years. When (San Diego-based) Tyler and I first started realizing we were potentially in a “more than friends” situation, I cringed at the idea of…
I received so many questions about where I got the “Mama is My Bae” shirt he wore in a recent blog post: in short, I got it from Jane.com! Jane is unique because it’s a boutique marketplace that offers both online shops and brick…
I hit a pretty big milestone over here: I am officially 10 lbs. down! I posted this snap of my lunch in an Instagram Story recently and got a ton of questions. I want to share this insanely delicious recipe I’ve been “indulging” in…
You may remember that my one and only New Year’s resolution for 2017 is to read more books. It shouldn’t be that hard to give myself a minute, but it’s not always easy with an active toddler and a growing business on my plate. I’ve…
My birthday weekend happens to coincide with KAABOO Del Mar this year and I could not be any more excited! Although there is an incredible musical lineup this year with artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and…
Buckle up, folks — this is a long one. So grab a (healthy) snack and stick with me. For those who know me well, you know that I never watched what I ate (and I indulged often), never exercised, and didn’t care to check…
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…
