Last week I had the pleasure of attending an event here in Sherman Oaks for Ling Ling Asian Kitchen at BLVD Kitchen. I was so excited to learn it was a cooking demonstration and, most of all, that it would be hosted by Chef…
I’m going to make a pretty big admission right off the bat here because I believe in transparency. This spring marked the first time I ever left the house alone with Fox. I used to hide from the fact that I was too overwhelmed…
Surprise, we moved again! We’re still in LA, but in a more suburban area rather than busy city center. While Tyler loaded up the truck at our old place, Fox and I played in the yard at the new one, shooting hoops and mimicking…
Hey y’all! We just got home from Hawaii today and we had SO much fun! Ziplining, tubing, watching dear friends get hitched — the works. We decided to take it easy to recuperate this Labor Day with a fun family meal, so on the…
You guys, this time next week I’ll be sitting on a beach in a bathing suit and I am not ready. Or at least my body isn’t. Gone are the days of randomly deciding to work out or cook healthy dinners that take forever…
One of the most important things to me when traveling is immersing myself into different cultures. I disguise myself as much as possible to avoid looking like a tourist so that I can really feel what it’s like to be a part of the…
I’ve lived in Los Angeles for a little over two weeks now and the one thing I’m still not over are all the food options in my area. Literally everything can be delivered (if I needed an outfit to wear out tonight it could…
Hi guys! I sucked you in with the picture of the donuts, didn’t I? This will be a super quick post to let you know two things: A) I am a featured contributor today on the World Market blog! See what I wrote here.…
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…
One of the biggest struggles that I have had as a new mom is finding time. Finding time for bubble baths, reading a good book, working out, and cooking a delicious meal isn’t always easy, but the responsibility still stands to create a happy and…
I’m almost done planning Fox’s birthday and let me tell you, I’m so glad it falls on the big game day. This football theme is easy peasy! As I was firming up the menu I landed on a football party staple: chili. You may know…
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:…
Over the holidays I talked a lot about my family’s deep rooted traditions and recipes, which brought up a thought that never crossed my mind before: I’m unconsciously failing at creating my own traditions. I’m now on a mission to start our own activities…
Truth be told, I’ve never made a resolution for New Year’s before. I’m your textbook Virgo: meticulous, analytical, productive. I’ve always been on top of my goals and the deadlines I set for myself are achieved with ease. Then came parenthood. So my sweet little…
Happy Monday everyone! I had a busy weekend filled with friends, cooking, and making big plans. Tyler’s 31st birthday is tomorrow and we are heading to Disneyland for a couple days, but before we hit the road I want to let you know about a…
