MAKE IT: homemade pizza dough

June 25, 2015 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: recipe

I’ve found the best version of homemade pizza dough and I can’t wait to share it with you. Think “a tiny bit sweet meets little crispy crunch” on the bottom layer. Pair this recipe with a fancy salad and wine, and dinner is served. (Many thanks to my dear friend, Joanna for the recipe because… [Read More]

Max & Nat on the swings!

Filed Under: adventures, Los Angeles, Maxwell, Natalie, Vlog

The kids and I have been stopping at the park to play a few times each week, and I feel like it’s at the playground their growth is noticed the most. Once we get there Max has to check on Natalie first, which makes her SO HAPPY! The other day I realized I’ve hit gold… [Read More]

MAKE IT: pear & gorgonzola pizza!

June 24, 2015 · 6 Comments
Filed Under: recipe

For a few months now I’ve been making homemade pizza dough for our weekly pizza nights. The other day I tried a new combination of topping and I think I may never go back: pear & gorgonzola pizza (with carmelized pears & onions, and even a handful of spinach leaves). It is SO YUM, I… [Read More]

Hi there! A small handful of Gussy Sews products have been added to the shop.

How I’m currently styling my wavy/curly hair.

June 18, 2015 · 17 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, hair + beauty

I want to elaborate a minute on the title of this blog post. I chose to include “currently” because exactly how I style my hair changes based on our current lifestyle. With each pregnancy my hair texture has changed and has taken about six months to bounce back. I’ve colored my hair using a box… [Read More]

The alley.

June 16, 2015 · 1 Comment
Filed Under: family, running

We were out running the other day and I passed by this alley. I don’t usually stop while we’re out (only for the water fountains!), but this blue garage totally caught my eye. It’s easy to focus on the overgrown weeds, the cracked driving path, and the “forgotten about” buildings, but I can’t help but… [Read More]

Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.

Filed Under: family, for fun

Yesterday we spent the entire day at home. It rained on & off, so I went outside only to rotate our clothes drying on the laundry rack. I didn’t get to run, and it absolutely did not surprise me how much I missed my run. (I have a healthy addiction.) A sparkly highlight from yesterday… [Read More]

Our seventh wedding anniversary was yesterday and we celebrated all weekend long, hooray! We booked our favorite babysitter on Saturday and hopped around to a couple different restaurants, then spent Sunday together as a family. Something I very much appreciate about Zack is how selfless he is, which in turn makes it easier for me… [Read More]
