We all love saving money, but it’s easier said than done, especially when those savings come at the cost of a service or convenience you love. Luckily, with new technology and services, it’s easier than ever to save money, help the environment and not…
Every once in awhile I have to slow down and remind myself to stop and smell the roses. I’m a busybody that overpacks my schedule, spends every waking moment with a toddler who doesn’t nap and sleeps 6 hours a night, and sets overly ambitious…
I’ve already covered where to stay while visiting Edinburgh, but what about activities to put on the agenda? When we visited in the spring we found ourselves with a day and a half to see everything in Edinburgh, which is no small feat. There’s a number of…
It has been fiery H-O-T in Los Angeles and my family has been ducking out of the heat as much as possible. Spending lots of time indoors means a bit of extra TV time where I can get into summer in the chilly A/C!…
Whenever I tell someone that I moved from a suburban 5-bedroom home to a 2-bedroom apartment in one of the busiest city centers in the country, their jaw usually take a minute or two to come off the floor. I agree, it’s a huge…
I spent Thursday night in Downtown Los Angeles networking on the balcony of a building overlooking the Staples Center (I heard Katt Williams performed that night!) for an event hosted by Cupcakes & Cocktails. It’s just what it sounds like: cupcakes infused with cocktails.…
If you haven’t already heard of Stitch Fix, let me tell you a little bit about this incredible program. Let me first say that Stitch Fix and I did not partner on this post, I just really, really love receiving their boxes that I…
The #1 question that I get from other parents hands down revolves around how to travel effortlessly with kids. The truth is, children are completely unpredictable (if you haven’t figured that out by now!). While there’s no foolproof way to keep kids happy during…
Our little boy went from crawling to sprinting quite literally overnight. He loves to be outside and especially loves to be independent. We can’t keep him sitting still for more than a couple minutes (except at bedtime), which makes taking trips or venturing outside…
I’ve lived in Los Angeles for a little over two weeks now and the one thing I’m still not over are all the food options in my area. Literally everything can be delivered (if I needed an outfit to wear out tonight it could…
I’ve mentioned in a recent post that Fox hit his terrible twos a year early, but there’s one thing that’s stayed consistent: his big appetite for all kinds of food. I’m lucky that Fox isn’t picky now that he’s entered toddlerhood. He’s taken too…
I woke up today and saw that several of my friends had shared a story that TV remote wands are now a part of the official Harry Potter merch, which reminded me to share a fun moment from my jaunt to Scotland: Glenfinnan Viaduct!…
If you’re wondering, I did just quote Spinal Tap. Stonehenge was one of my bucket list items, so I was happy to see it was close to one of our stops (Bath, England) on our trip. The rapeseed fields and sprawling green on the…
When I visited Europe on my last trip, I had an overwhelming amount of people comment on the beauty of Edinburgh. Most had visited at one point or another and told stories of their journeys in both the medieval World Heritage site of Old Town…
As you may know, Tyler, Fox and myself recently completed a two-week driving trip throughout the UK. This was Fox’s first trip overseas, and was an experience that we’ll never forget. Tyler always talks about how lucky he feels to be able to spend…
