August 18, 2015 · Leave a Comment
Filed Under: friends, Los Angeles, running

I’m noticing a trend as to why I’ve been so successful with running. You may remember I was not a runner prior to February this year. I was friends with walking, but running? I hardly spoke the word. So as the months pass and my success continues on, there is a very specific re-occurring trend… [Read More]

Well hey Monday, so good to see you! :) It’s been six months now since I started running (here’s a detailed FAQ post), which is exactly what inspired me to create a hip pouch.

– you remember to set out the butter at lunch so it can soften in time for post-nap cookie baking. Instant supermama status! – your daughter burrows into your neck and lets out a long, squeaky laugh, and you can’t help but join her. – you wake up early a few days each week so… [Read More]

Filed Under: 10 things I love, for fun

As a personal exercise to start noticing the small things around me I started a blog series titled “Ten things I love”. There’s much to be thankful for in life, sometimes we just need a little quiet to fully notice our lists. This month I wanted to focus on ten fun facts you most likely… [Read More]

Filed Under: books, Los Angeles, our home, simple living

Many times now I’ve seen a particular tidying up book pop up in my social media feeds. When I first saw the title, I admit, I wasn’t sure what it’s greater purpose was. I didn’t understand why it was gaining popularity. I wasn’t sure how it could be applied to my life and my things… [Read More]

August 4, 2015 · 5 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, friends, Los Angeles

Three years ago, shortly after we moved to Los Angeles from Minneapolis, I found myself meeting up with Joanna. We hadn’t yet met, so you could say it was an “internet friend blind date”.

Filed Under: for fun

I’ve found a helpful trick to help our weekends go smoothly, while adding in a bit of fun: once the kids go down for their afternoon nap I get the diaper bag ready. It takes me less than a minute to add a couple water bottles, some snacks, check the diaper stack, and add in… [Read More]
