Pumpkin carving and waiting.

October 30, 2014 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: family, seasons

Last night we went to a pumpkin carving party at Zack’s work. It was so great to meet everyone and snack on yummy pumpkin treats (a pregnant woman’s dream, haha). And I’ve very decided every day that passes where I don’t go into labor is like an extra treat for our family. It can be… [Read More]

:) I found another handmade shop to share with you: meet Jolie of Brim Papery. Reading Jolie’s about page, including her vision and the meaning behind her business’s name, is what really captivated me as a fellow handmade business owner. I hope you’ll click over and see what I’m talking about. In the meantime, here’s… [Read More]

Food for my mama soul.

October 22, 2014 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2, family, mamahood, Maxwell

We found ourselves at the beach on Sunday, totally planning on walking alongside it (and maybe hoping to get this baby low low low). Maxwell clearly had other plans because it didn’t take long and he was tugging at the straps on the stroller to get out. This sweet boy loves getting his feet wet,… [Read More]

An adventure to the pumpkin patch!

Filed Under: adventures, family, Los Angeles, seasons

I love when our weekends are filled with so much HAPPY! It all starts on Friday — there’s usually tons of anticipation over Zack wrapping up his work/heading home. We usually stay up a bit too late on Fridays, which means the morning always comes too soon ;) You can usually find us in our… [Read More]

The final days of pregnancy…

October 17, 2014 · 22 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2, for fun

I’m having the craziest moments of pregnancy/labor indecisiveness. My internal conversations go something like this, * we’re totally ready for this baby to be born! Like, today! * all we have to do is set up the queen bed and re-arrange the nursery, then we’ll be ready * I’d rather have another c-section than try… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun

I’m constantly inspired by the world of handmade, especially the fearlessness and creativity these designers have. Even though many of us have never met it’s so encouraging to hear their stories through their online platforms. I had some free time recently and found myself typing up an email to a few handmade shop owners, asking… [Read More]

My friend Allison (her husband and my husband are childhood BFFs) has awesome bangs — well, honestly her entire hairstyle is awesome (always), and yesterday morning I finally declared, It’s time for me to have bangs again! Allison and I have similar hair texture and color, and every time I see her or a photo… [Read More]
