A lesson from my neighbor on creativity.

April 24, 2015 · 14 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood

On Tuesday I shared that I have been feeling pretty empty creatively, but after reading through the comments I suddenly felt so rejuvenated. You are all so smart and encouraging, and I felt my spirits lift as I read through your words. It reminded me of this post from Astrid (her IG handle is @redredcompletelyred):… [Read More]

Why you should start a Book Club!

April 22, 2015 · 16 Comments
Filed Under: for fun

I’ve been making more of an effort to read more often, either during naptime or once the kids are in bed at night, during the quiet times of day when I really need a few minutes to myself :) After I read Jessica Turner’s The Fringe Hours (which I absolutely loved and highly recommend) I… [Read More]

Ten things I love // vol. 4

April 20, 2015 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: 10 things I love

As a personal exercise to start noticing the small things around me I started a blog series titled “Ten things I love”. It’s been a while since I made my list of ten things, but that’s OK, I decided I’ll just re-start the series. There’s much to be thankful for, sometimes we just need to… [Read More]

Maxwell’s second birthday party!

April 17, 2015 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: family, Maxwell

We celebrated Maxwell’s second birthday last month with a construction themed party at the park. His first birthday party was so fun (and smooth!) that we decided to hit “repeat” and meet at the same location a year later. We brought with us a huge bundle of blue, yellow and white balloons and a double… [Read More]

“The Best” Chocolate Chip Cookies.

April 15, 2015 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, recipe

One of my most favorite things to do with Maxwell is bake. He is so enthusiastic about baking, and he loves cleaning up the dishes afterward :) We rotate between three recipes when we bake, one being this chocolate chip cookie recipe. This cookie recipe is “the best” because the edges are crispy & buttery… [Read More]

Dear Natalie, I hope your hair always smells like strawberries…

April 14, 2015 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: mamahood, Natalie

Zack asked me the other day if I thought about what kind of hairstyle I want Natalie to have once she gets a little bit older. She’s not quite 6 months old and already she has wild curls and great volume. Not to mention her hair smells like strawberries. I remember looking at him when… [Read More]

Filed Under: family, for fun, Los Angeles, running

I’ve got a whole lot of “do the same thing every day, all day” in my life right now. And it’s OK — really, it’s OK, and here’s why… About 7 weeks ago I made a personal commitment to work out more. I mean, we live in Los Angeles where the average daily temperature is… [Read More]

We visited a new church a week ago and we enjoyed it so much that on Monday of last week I was already anticipating their Easter Sunday service. We’ve been wanting a new home church for quite some time and finally decided to visit our friends’ church, which they absolutely love, and turns out we… [Read More]

Relishing in the simple moments.

April 3, 2015 · 3 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood, Natalie

I’m learning from this mamahood thing with every passing day, and so far my two years of experience have taught me this: the easiest way for me to move through mamahood is by relishing in the simple moments. These notions are my bridge past the hard moments… or even, days. I have vivid memories of… [Read More]
