I guess it’s finally time to let everyone in on the big secret: baby boy no. 2 is en route! After Fox was born, our plans for a second child vanished. I made it clear to anyone who asked that it was not in…
I had a long 8 years without fall in California. We tried to go apple picking there twice and it was hilariously bad — think dust devils and wearing flannel out of sheer disregard of the 100 degree weather. This year, we’re going all…
A couple months ago, I was talking to my husband and a question came up: if we could go on a one-week road trip right now, where would we go? We discussed driving to Quebec, to New York City, even going down the East…
Here in New York we’ve endured nearly a week of 90+ degree days, leaving no question in anyone’s mind of the current season. With these blisteringly hot days, it served as a reminder to switch into my “summer mode” — everything from clothes and…
As much as we try to eat dinner together, we’re not always on the same schedule. When Fox comes home from school he’s usually ready to eat immediately, but Tyler and I tend to eat lunch late throughout the workday and don’t always have…
The February Fox is celebrating 3 years as a blog next month, but did you know I’ve been blogging for over a decade on a variety of platforms? When I first moved to California 8 years ago, I kept a blog that included a…
Flying the coop out of my hometown for eight years came with both pros and cons, but one of the major themes that I couldn’t remove from my daily thoughts was my pride in where I’m from: Buffalo, NY. Buffalo is collectively known as…
Happy National Donut Day! What a welcome into June, right?! We got a new donut place in town on Memorial Day, so we obviously had to do some major taste testing. It’s called Peace, Love and Little Donuts (apparently a franchise found in quite…
Eleven years ago, I was quickly moving boxes out of my college dorm room and into my new apartment on a street called Hertel. It was the first time I’d be living off campus and I had no idea what to expect. My roommate…
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…
Hello everyone! I’m writing from Buffalo, NY tonight after a fabulous holiday season filled with family, food, and fun. My family and I flew into Raleigh last week then road tripped to Washington, D.C. for the day, stayed in Pennsylvania, and arrived in Buffalo…
Something funny happens when you get older. People tend to move away, get married and have children – everything changes. So when the holidays roll around it’s always interesting to see how deep-seated traditions stir into new ones. I’ve mentioned in past posts that…

This photo was taken while I was in college working at a hip bar/restaurant in Buffalo called JP Bullfeathers. Sometimes when I hear the name of the restaurant I cringe. That place watched me grow up, meaning that I made a lot of mistakes…
Even though I don’t currently live in Buffalo, it will always be home to me. I hadn’t been back in almost five years and I was thrilled to find out that one of my friend’s had planned her 4th of July wedding in the…
