Before having my son, I lived entirely off of routine. Spontaneity was not my thing, and truthfully it still isn’t but I’ve learned to roll with the punches more these days.  I’ve worked from…

Funny story: when we first rented the home we are in, we were on cloud 9. We went from a tiny apartment with bad neighbors to a home with a yard where Fox could…

Lucky for us, Fox has always loved his baths. His very first bath ended with us taking a quick picture of him laying in his baby bath, posed like Uncle Rico’s Glamour Shot in…

Tomorrow we head back to the West Coast after a 3-week long stay in Buffalo with family. I don’t know about you, but if I had house guests for 21 days, I’d literally be…

You know how people tell brides to be to do everything they can to enjoy the day because it’s likely going to be a blur? I get that feeling every holiday season. Like so…
