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…
I received a bunch of questions about the tableware I used in yesterday’s post: it’s from a brand called Re-Play Tableware! These products are made in the USA, BPA safe, and FDA approved. Plus, they’re made out of milk jugs. Seriously! Here’s a quick…
You guys, this time next week I’ll be sitting on a beach in a bathing suit and I am not ready. Or at least my body isn’t. Gone are the days of randomly deciding to work out or cook healthy dinners that take forever…
You always hear the saying that your life ends when you have a child. While I understand the concept of that expression, especially considering the time involved with making sure our boy is healthy, happy and safe, there are several aspects of my pre-parenthood life…
Moving from a house to an apartment was a major adjustment. I was discussing all of the differences with a friend of mine who is thinking about making the same switch, and she inquired whether or not people have complained about Fox when he cries.…
Packing is an art, especially with kids in tow. My 1.5-year-old has been to 10 states and 5 countries over the course of his short time on this planet, and you can trust me when I say that I have made many mistakes packing along…
It was rainy when we arrived in Cambridge, but that didn’t stop us from taking a stroll through the quaint little area. Fox was in love with the scenery along the Backs and made friends with a couple ducks while we waited for our…
We’re on a Beat Bugs kick over here, have you caught an episode or two yet? If you’re not familiar, it’s a children’s show on Netflix that centers around classics by The Beatles. It’s super cute — Sia’s cover of Blackbird gives me full…
The only downfall of living in a city center is the lack of open space for Fox to run. Currently there’s nothing walking distance, although there are talks of a huge Central Park-like open space to come together — just not for a few more…
When I heard #BlogHer16 would be held minutes down the road from me I was excited, but immediately shut down once I realized I would be heading there alone. I don’t mention this often in my blog, but I suffer greatly from social anxiety. I’m…
I never used to put a great deal of weight into how products I used affected my body or health. That was until I had an eye-opening experience about six years back. As soon as I hit college my acne got out of control.…
Disclaimer: I left these photos 100% unedited because I need you to understand just how naturally beautiful this property is. St. Andrews Links was another stop on our UK trip that was kind of out there in terms of adding on another leg of…
You may remember me telling you that I got my cat Peter in college. He was a skinny little thing with a heart-shaped nose who got so cold in the winter that I had purchased him a tiny puffer vest. He wore it happily and with great…
Fun fact: the first independent blog I ever started was around the time I moved to San Diego in 2011. I was working like a maniac and not leaving much time to explore my beautiful city. Each month I would create a bucket list…
One of the most important things to me when traveling is immersing myself into different cultures. I disguise myself as much as possible to avoid looking like a tourist so that I can really feel what it’s like to be a part of the…
