As a first time mom I have loved following along with fellow bloggers as they hit major milestones with their children and share the dos and don’ts of parenting as told by their experiences. I’ve learned so many important tips that have helped to…
It’s been raining like crazy here in California (I’m talking flash flooding and tornado warning status) so we’ve been cooped up in the house with cabin fever. I’m a total homebody so I ate it right up, but by the end of the week…
I have done an unreasonable amount of thinking about the turn of the year and these past 365 days. 2015 will forever mark the year that I became a mom – the year my son was born just past midnight in February. This should…
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…
On Friday my lovable little boy decided he was ready to stand without help. While my thought process volleyed somewhere between, “Did I baby proof this room correctly?” and “YAY!” it took a few moments after for something else to settle in: Fox is…
You may remember a month or so back when I posted about our friend’s getting married at a place called Rawhide Ranch. This place was so neat. It looked like an old western town complete with farm animals, a saloon, stage and dance floor,…
Day two at Disneyland was just as fun as the first. It’s so nice to stay overnight (even though we don’t really have to) and stroll across the street to hop on some rides. Fox didn’t sleep the entire night before so we were…
I think it’s safe to speak for both Tyler and myself when saying that it’s more enjoyable to watch Fox do things he loves than actually do things we love. Not that we don’t love Disney (after all it’s the happiest place on earth),…
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…
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…
Welcome to December and all things Christmas! I’ve been watching a lot of Christmas movies lately and I’ve noticed a few key things: There is always a character named Holly. There is always a character named Nick. Holly and Nick are always baking cookies in a…
It’s Cyber Monday and I am combing the Internet for deals on cold weather clothes. If you’re a frequent reader you’re probably thinking, “Um, you live in California – why would you need those?” And the answer is simple: for the first time in six…
The long weekend is wrapping up in my house with a busy Sunday, but I want to drop a quick note before it ends. We did Thanksgiving a bit different this year since we stayed in by ourselves as a trio. I cooked my…
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…
I met eve on a Saturday. Her sunny disposition first drew me in. Her soft touch on my skin and how she knew just how to hug my body in the right places. After spending some time with eve, I knew I had to share…
