Fox is just getting to the age where he’s realizing that he’s not yet built for all rides and attractions. He gets frustrated at other theme parks when he sees people piling onto thrill rides that he’s too small for as of yet. I…
I had an exciting opportunity in Orange County this week and I brought the family with me so we could do a doubleheader at Disneyland! It may be our very last Disney trip until the fall, so we knew we had to make it…
As most of you know, I moved to California over six years ago, and while there are many special reasons that I call it home, one that has taken some special attention in our home this year is the proactive approach that local and…
A couple weeks ago my husband and I experienced a celebrity sighting and it jogged a conversation between us: which celebrity would you want to bump into in Hollywood? Mine was a no brainer: Pamela Adlon. Although she’s been acting practically her whole life, I…
The only downfall of living in a city center is the lack of open space for Fox to run. Currently there’s nothing walking distance, although there are talks of a huge Central Park-like open space to come together — just not for a few more…
Fun fact: the first independent blog I ever started was around the time I moved to San Diego in 2011. I was working like a maniac and not leaving much time to explore my beautiful city. Each month I would create a bucket list…
Since downsizing from a home in the suburbs to a city-center apartment, we honestly don’t miss much. There is one thing though that our family often talks about that stings a bit: our beautiful backyard filled with flowers, plants, palm trees, and citrus fruits.…
I met my friend for a fun lunch at Universal CityWalk yesterday while Tyler and Fox explored and grabbed a bite of their own. We had planned to go home from there but found it hard when Universal Studios Hollywood was just a few…
We all love saving money, but it’s easier said than done, especially when those savings come at the cost of a service or convenience you love. Luckily, with new technology and services, it’s easier than ever to save money, help the environment and not…
I’m writing this post with sweaty palms – this is big one! I spent the past couple days in Los Angeles to attend the #CelebrateOutdoors event put on by World Market at a private beach house in Santa Monica. The ladies who put together…
Last year was my first ever Mom’s Day. Fox was on month three of colic so intense that could take the paint off the walls and, to be honest, all I wanted was a little bit of peace. Tyler asked if he could surprise me…
I’ll let you in on a little secret: Disneyland is a ghost town on holidays. Most crowd-predicting websites will tell you different, but each and every time my family has visited the park on a holiday it has been more comfortable to navigate than…
Happy Easter, everyone! Last year Tyler and I went all out. We hosted Easter brunch at our house, the kids did the egg hunt in our backyard (except Fox because he was itty bitty), and all three of us got a visit from the…
The days following rainfall here in San Diego are always my favorite. The pavement is cooled, grass is lush, and the temperature is perfect. We went out in the backyard today to feel the fresh air and as I rounded the corner the most…
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…
