I love our backyard, especially this time of year. We bought a table in the spring that we find ourselves circling around each night, whether we’re eating dinner, playing games, or watching Fox paint. The leaves have started to fall on our beloved table,…
Every month, Fox’s school sends home a little calendar of special events that I wind up having a little too much fun with. This month, it’s Johnny Appleseed Day! Yep, it’s today, and I came prepared with a recipe to share with you to…
It’s been a big adjustment going from hanging with Fox 100% of each waking hour to dropping him off at school and only having him nights and weekends. I get as much time in with him as I can, so I generally try to…
With Fox starting school last month, we’ve been getting into a solid morning routine recently. Every morning he wakes up first and starts running around the house yelling, “Day!” which is code for school. I think it comes from us asking him if he…
If you’ve already figured out that the title of this post is a wink at an amazing Portlandia skit, then I love you. It is just about the 3 year anniversary of my sweet husband putting together a pickling kit for my birthday! For…
Something that has helped me tremendously throughout my weight loss journey is remembering that snacking is GOOD! I know that when I wait too long between meals or don’t eat enough to feel full that it sets me up on a collision course for…
Last week I had the pleasure of attending an event here in Sherman Oaks for Ling Ling Asian Kitchen at BLVD Kitchen. I was so excited to learn it was a cooking demonstration and, most of all, that it would be hosted by Chef…
I was a guest at an adorable event yesterday that focused on brunch and crafting two of my absolute favorite things! I was speaking with a few people there as I participated in the activities about how nice it is to shut your mind…
I’ve never been a big store-bought sorbet fan, I always find it too sweet for my taste. But it’s been over 100 degrees here every day in Los Angeles and something had to give! Even the kiddie pool doesn’t offer enough cool-down factor. So…
One of the most adorable things about Fox right now is his obsession with making choices. Sometimes I even hear him in his room saying, “This one? No. This one? No. This one? Yes!” while he’s putting himself in control of which hat Mr.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
