I’m known to break out the fall decor as soon as September 1st rolls around. Sometimes earlier, but I don’t always admit to that! I’m not a fan of summer, so I count down the days until pumpkins and all things earth tone can…
This past weekend we drove 5 hours up the coast to Monterey for Mother’s Day weekend. We’re pretty lucky to have a child who oddly loves to take car rides, but we do keep a handful of healthy snacks in the car (fruit leather, berries,…
You guys, I’ve lost 15 pounds! It’s been a little over a month since I’ve started to eat healthy and regularly work out and I’m definitely seeing a difference. I still have a long way to go, but I can tell the difference both…
Tyler and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and it jogged my memory back to all the little details from our wedding. One of our underlying themes was the movie Buffalo ’66 since I’m from Buffalo and it’s collectively a favorite of ours.…
We’ve been exploring Los Angeles every chance we get and with family in town we’ve discovered so many new places! We recently took Fox over to the LA Zoo to check out the Halloween decorations and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to put…
One of my biggest struggles as a parent has nothing to do with my child. It’s finding friends who are at the same place in life, going through the same types of experiences, and — most importantly — down to earth and honest about it. …
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…
I have a pretty definitive list of items that I think are worth the investment versus those that I’ll pay pennies for. If we’re being honest, no matter how hard I try I will probably never be able to tell the difference between a…
Has anyone seen that glorious photo of Sigourney Weaver posing with a pumpkin floating around? That’s literally me waiting for fall to arrive (except I’m holding a pumpkin spice latte and knitting a chunky scarf simultaneously). For reference: So now that we’ve cleared up…
I never used to put a great deal of weight into how products I used affected my body or health. That was until I had an eye-opening experience about six years back. As soon as I hit college my acne got out of control.…
I’ve mentioned in a recent post that Fox hit his terrible twos a year early, but there’s one thing that’s stayed consistent: his big appetite for all kinds of food. I’m lucky that Fox isn’t picky now that he’s entered toddlerhood. He’s taken too…
Fox got a package in the mail a couple days ago and absolutely freaked when he saw the contents: an extra large Goodnight Moon book and stuffed bunny from IncrediBundles! Believe it or not, we never got him a copy of this uber popular…
I’ve never really been a spring kinda girl, but for whatever reason I have been drooling over the pastel colors and fragrant flowers this season. Tyler brought me a bouquet of tulips and a latte home this morning, letting me know how beautiful outside that it was…
If I could pick out just one thing that I wasn’t expecting to come with motherhood, it would be fear. I never realized how scary everything would become. From driving with the baby in the backseat to seeing news stories of children being hurt or…
Lots of deep thoughts and soul searching as of late around these parts. Trying to strip off the excess and head back towards simplicity is tougher than it seems. For now I’m focusing on one of my favorite quotes by Epicurus, “Do not spoil…
