Beauties, it’s time. It’s time for me to put down the yoga pants and remember how to be fashionable. I’m on a mission to find clothing items to add to my closet that are eye-catching but low maintenance. Something I can slip on and not…
Sophomore year of college meant one thing to me: moving off campus into my own apartment. The school had rules against freshmen living off campus, but come year two and I was free as a bird. I made plans to move in with a…
When Tyler and I decided we were ready to start trying for a baby a couple years ago, we had a talk I’d been dreading: parenting strategy. We had already experienced growing pains as a young couple trying to blend our two lives into…
In case you haven’t heard, we’re firming up the remainder of our plans to visit England, Scotland, and Wales next month. We are renting a car and driving around as a family, stopping at the most incredible sights along the way. Seriously, just wait…
The first time I ever had my makeup professionally done was the trial run for my wedding. When the MUA left the house I stared at myself in the mirror thinking “whoa!” There were angles in my face that I’d never seen before and I…
It’s still a hot one here in San Diego. February and 80 degrees, can you believe it? When I first moved here it was always 75 with a cool breeze but in recent years it’s just been so hot all the time! We put…
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…
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…
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…
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…
As a first time mom I have loved following along with fellow bloggers as they hit major milestones with their children and share the dos and don’ts of parenting as told by their experiences. I’ve learned so many important tips that have helped to…
Fox’s first birthday lands on the big game day, so we are planning a family party (relatives will be flying in from Northern California, New York, and North Carolina!) to celebrate our little guy during festivities. Lots of family and football equates to one thing:…
