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…
Yesterday I went to my first ever Friday wedding. Tyler’s bandmate Jarred married our beautiful friend Emily at Rawhide Ranch in Bonsall, which I’m completely obsessed with! Her maiden name is Troy, so the hashtag featuring Fall of Troy was a perfect fit! The…
Yesterday Tyler and I took the day off and brought our guy to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We’re pretty in love with this place! It was our first stop when Fox was finally old enough to leave the house and (in case…
Fox said his very first word yesterday. We were at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and he blurted out “Mama” a couple times in a row when we prompted him. This kid is going to give me a heart attack with all he’s…
Today marks three years married to my husband, Tyler. For those of you who may not know, I want to share the story of how we met. It’s always incredible to look back on the intricacies of how we began (and continued to go…
Today Fox gave me a big hug. He crawled to me, climbed onto my lap, pulled himself up to my level and wrapped his little arms around my neck. His cheek pressed against mine and after a long pause he straightened up with his…
I’d love to tell you that I’ve been up to some really cool things, but the truth is that it’s just TOO. HOT. This past weekend Tyler and I decided to go out on an adventure. We were going to start driving and stop…

Since it’s Thursday, I want to do a little throwback to last October. I was about five months pregnant and my bump came out of nowhere. We announced our baby’s name, had a beautiful shower thrown for us, and my parents came to town.…
Hello everyone! Sorry for my brief absence. I turned 28 on Monday and took a little time for me and my family. We headed a tiny bit up the coast and spent two days at Disneyland! If you’re ever worried that you won’t hear…
Happy belated Labor Day! This weekend was filled with the best kind of things. We caught up with friends at brunch at Mama Kat’s, did a bunch of baking and cooking, went to Fox’s favorite – Trader Joe’s, met up in Old Town with…
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a serious obsession with IKEA. Between the meatballs, endless rooms filled with inexpensive items that I do (and don’t) need, and the design inspiration that sparks from their neat little setups, I can’t imagine a better…
My little baby boy turned six months old this past Friday. He has such a sweet demeanor and the more places that we take him, the more my confidence grows in bringing him to new places. Tyler has been begging me to bring the…
