My birthday weekend happens to coincide with KAABOO Del Mar this year and I could not be any more excited! Although there is an incredible musical lineup this year with artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and…
Fun fact: the first independent blog I ever started was around the time I moved to San Diego in 2011. I was working like a maniac and not leaving much time to explore my beautiful city. Each month I would create a bucket list…
If you’re a longtime reader of The February Fox you may remember when Fox was just a little guy suffering from a horrible case of colic. Besides the obvious guilt we felt that our baby wasn’t feeling 100%, it also made the adjustment from…
Happy Easter, everyone! Last year Tyler and I went all out. We hosted Easter brunch at our house, the kids did the egg hunt in our backyard (except Fox because he was itty bitty), and all three of us got a visit from the…
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…
The days following rainfall here in San Diego are always my favorite. The pavement is cooled, grass is lush, and the temperature is perfect. We went out in the backyard today to feel the fresh air and as I rounded the corner the most…
It’s still a hot one here in San Diego. February and 80 degrees, can you believe it? When I first moved here it was always 75 with a cool breeze but in recent years it’s just been so hot all the time! We put…
This morning my baby slept beside me for a full 1.5 hours. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but this meant everything to me. Since Fox was about two weeks old he has refused every cuddle and only wants to…
My baby is one today. I’ll have you know that I wrote this post before the big day because I’m probably ugly crying in a corner somewhere that my boy is growing up so fast. Besides being unbelievably ill, my pregnancy was (luckily) uneventful. Fox…
As if Fox’s impending 1st birthday this Sunday wasn’t enough to send me into hysterics this week, we had an incident this weekend. To be honest with you, I didn’t even really want to share this tidbit, but in the spirit of authenticity I…
Tyler and I joke with each other that every time we take Fox out of the house for several hours he reaches a new milestone when we come back home. New words, crawling, etc. – it always happens after we get him out of…
We’ve been blessed with a lot of time together as a family these past couple weeks, even if the majority of it seems to be working towards achieving our goals. We’re finally at a bit of a stopping point to enjoy each other lately…
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…
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,…
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…
