I wrote this last week but wanted to save it for a Monday morning. I know Mondays can be hard in their own unique way, so here’s a little bit encouragement if you’re in need. Fact: there are days when everything feels like it’s going the wrong way. The day before today was kinda perfect… [Read More]

How to survive mamahood in Los Angeles.

Filed Under: for fun, friends, Los Angeles, seasons

One of my dear mama friends (she has two littles: a four-month old and a 2-year old) taught me early on how to survive living in Los Angeles. You bring your kids to the beach, and you start going at an early age. And oh my, yes I couldn’t agree with her more. The weather… [Read More]

Ten things I love // vol. 2

Filed Under: 10 things I love

Yellow is such a cheerful color and I love spotting it in small bursts throughout our home. It always reminds me of sunshine first, then a strong feeling of happiness comes next. Here are my ten favorite yellow finds: 1. Our dining nook has a small collage of wooden art hanging on the wall: an… [Read More]

You guys, today is a big day as we’re officially two days past the halfway mark of a pregnancy: 20 weeks. I seem to have a huge surge in energy and am soooo enjoying it, but I need to remember to slow down a couple days each week and rest while Max is napping. Even… [Read More]

Six years.

Filed Under: marriage, Zack

Saturday was a day to record in the books. Zack and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary, and the day was pretty much perfect. I like to think we’ve gotten really good at two things: going with the flow and cherishing “the now” of life. I feels a bit unrealistic to create a plan and… [Read More]

I’m so grateful for all our memories we have created together since his birth. To be home with our babes is such hard work, it takes consistency and patience, and trying… [Read More]

Filed Under: baby #2

We had “the big” anatomy scan yesterday morning at my doctor’s office and I admit, I went in to the appointment with my breath held a little. We like the surprise of finding out the baby’s gender at birth, but I always worry a bit that the tech will forget and leak the gender :)… [Read More]
