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…
Over the course of two years, both my husband and I have earned our living from blogging. This avenue of work has brought us many exciting opportunities from local events, trips abroad, and trying out products — some of which we still use religiously.…
Raising a little boy can be interesting as a new mom. Raising a little boy who loves cars unconditionally (“vroom vroom!”) can be entertaining. Raising a little boy who loves cars along side a husband who really loves cars and racing is all-consuming. If…
“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,…
There are a few times a year that I love to truly indulge in something that I love. Growing up in Western New York, I lived through hot summers and freezing winters. But it was the beautiful spring and autumn that brought out my…

One of the most magical parts of being a mom is getting to relive things from my childhood through Fox’s eyes. With Disneyland so close to us, he’s been raised with Disney characters of all kinds and has started pointing out his favorites to…
I’ve been living in this outfit lately. It’s so easy to match with our ever-changing Los Angeles weather these days. I’ve still been getting fixes every month even though I haven’t shared in awhile, but instead of keeping all 5 items I’ve been…
One of the things I love most about Tyler is that he’s easy to please. He’s not a complainer, he’s happy in any situation you drop him into, and his positivity meter is off the charts. Because he’s so low maintenance, it’s really hard…
