“One day you’re going to look at him and think, ‘I really love him.'” These were the well-meaning words that Fox’s pediatrician spoke to me at his 1 month check-up. I was shocked, confused, a little miffed, but mostly sad. All I could do…
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…
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…
A funny thing happens when you’re about to have a child. Your friends and family all remind you about how extensive baby-proofing your house and play areas will be; they buy you all of the outlet covers, baby gates and cabinet latches that your…
October has felt like a wedding day. You plan all year-round for it to arrive and then it whirls by before your eyes. I’m in disbelief it’s already the 19th. I have yet to make it to the pumpkin patch! I’ve been spending my…
My little boy is 8 months today and, although it isn’t a major milestone, I still found myself feeling a little weepy today. I thought about writing him a little note to put in his memory box, but every time I tried I felt…
As I type this my son is sitting straight up in his crib. Last night he could not bring himself to a sitting position from laying down and today he is an old pro, going back and forth between sitting and laying. These days…
I’ve been taking some baby steps into being a little more crafty these days. I tend to get frustrated when things don’t work right for me the first time, and life with a 7-month-old doesn’t really allow for all the time that comes along…
Fox just had his six month well baby appointment (even though he’s late – a week and a half shy of seven months to be exact) and we could not be any more proud of him. He learned to sit yesterday unassisted, he eats…
It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down with a good book which makes me so sad because it’s one of my favorite things to do. It sounds cliche, but reading really is the best way to try on another way of life for size.…
Citrus Lane always has a way of understanding my child that I just can’t predict. Flipping through photos of Fox from day one, you’ll see periods where he’s become obsessed with certain items, and for some reason 90% of them are from his little…
Yesterday I left my purse on a train. I realized as I was walking through the doors of the transport but kept on going. And when I got to the stairs I panicked and realized it was gone forever. I only had one thing…
Kristen Stewart arrived at the premiere of her most recent movie, American Ultra, looking absolutely amazing in a Zuhair Murad sequined romper. The real star of the show (or movie) turned out to be her ridiculously chic cat eye. I’m willing to bet that…
I’ve been feeling some serious wanderlust lately. Before the baby arrived, Tyler and I were adventurers – whether locally or internationally. All in all we’ve traveled to 15 countries together. My next bucket list location is Iceland and his is to head back to…
