Since I’ve been intensely planning a trip for the past couple of days, I put myself in vacation mode a bit early with the most amazing cocktail and I have to share the recipe! It’s a creamy drink served hot that’s perfect for the…
This morning my baby slept beside me for a full 1.5 hours. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but this meant everything to me. Since Fox was about two weeks old he has refused every cuddle and only wants to…
One of the biggest struggles that I have had as a new mom is finding time. Finding time for bubble baths, reading a good book, working out, and cooking a delicious meal isn’t always easy, but the responsibility still stands to create a happy and…
I was perusing Oriental Trading recently and could not pass up these adorable little barbell stress balls. Plus, Tyler helped me execute these “Love You Tons” Valentine’s Day printables so I could share with you guys who still have a Valentine in need –…
Fox turned one this past Sunday. Oddly enough, both Tyler and I noticed a major shift in Fox beginning right on his 1st birthday. He added the word “hi!” to his repertoire and adds a hearty wave along with it, his little voice shifted…
Getting ready for a date night these days is an all out extravaganza. With a little guy toddling around the house I relish in the primping and fluffing before getting out of the house almost as much as I love being out on the…
My baby is one today. I’ll have you know that I wrote this post before the big day because I’m probably ugly crying in a corner somewhere that my boy is growing up so fast. Besides being unbelievably ill, my pregnancy was (luckily) uneventful. Fox…
Hi everybody! I’m following up from my recent post on my top 7 men’s Valentine’s gifts with my picks for the ladies. I’ve never been a pink kind of gal, but seeing as 2016 is the year of rose gold it’s fitting that’s what I’ve been drawn to…
As if Fox’s impending 1st birthday this Sunday wasn’t enough to send me into hysterics this week, we had an incident this weekend. To be honest with you, I didn’t even really want to share this tidbit, but in the spirit of authenticity I…
It’s February which means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Historically the 14th stands as one of the most popular days out of each year for proposals, so let’s talk engagement rings! First, let me level with you. Lately I’ve been having the…
“Want to soak up life for a while in laid-back mode. No boss, no clock, no stress, no dress code.” I’m channeling me some Kenny Chesney today with a little No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems. (Except the shirt part, because no one wants…
Gift giving is my specialty, but when it comes to anniversaries and Valentine’s Day I admit that I have to demonstrate a lot more effort than usual. Any gift that’s given from the heart is special to my husband, but DIY usually winds up…
Disneyland has become like a second home for our family. Even though we live just over an hour away, we find that staying overnight has become part of our routine. The hotels are inexpensive, we don’t have to rush out of the house or try and…
Tyler and I joke with each other that every time we take Fox out of the house for several hours he reaches a new milestone when we come back home. New words, crawling, etc. – it always happens after we get him out of…
We’ve been blessed with a lot of time together as a family these past couple weeks, even if the majority of it seems to be working towards achieving our goals. We’re finally at a bit of a stopping point to enjoy each other lately…
