It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done an Instagram recap so I thought I’d just merge them all into one! Walking to the Village a few weekends ago when our friend Alison was visiting, we passed this AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL PINK tree! Sure you’d expect orange and other seasonally Fall colors, as the leaves are …
I hate to admit this, but I had high expectations for getting pregnant once we moved away from the stress of Los Angeles and up into the serene mountains nearly a year ago now. And you know where expectations lead us : to unsatisfied minds and unhappy souls. As each month passed without conception, just …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Also, if you see any you like, they may be for sale at Instacanv.as. You can email me if you don’t see one that you like and I’ll make it available. Trying to take in as much beauty and nature as I can lately. I …
Even though my mom had planned on coming up for a visit next weekend, since I’ve been having such a rough time lately, she dropped everything and drove up this weekend to spend time with me. And I needed it so much. There’s something really reassuring about knowing someone will literally change all their plans …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Also, if you see any you like, they may be for sale at Instacanv.as. You can email me if you don’t see one that you like and I’ll make it available. Season’s change… feelings change. For the past few weeks I’ve been struggling with sleepless …
I’ve been working with Crocs for a few years now, and in lieu of throwing one big summer party, wherein I get to give away free shoes to my friends and family like I did last year, I thought since we live a little bit further now, we’d have quality weekend visits with just a …
If you follow me on Instagram… or even Twitter or facebook, you may have seen the photos I posted on Saturday night after a little run-in with A HUGE BROWN BEAR right in our driveway, dining in our trash like he had a reservation. The night’s special: Fish Pasta. But let me start from the …
As I mentioned in my outfit post the other day, last Friday afternoon we met with our new friends at their dock and took their boat out for the evening. It was the first time we’d been “on” the lake since moving here last Christmas. And while the weather and water are almost warm enough …
Have you ever “changed” for someone because that’s how you thought they wanted you to be? Well I think I can safely say, that much of my blogging in 2012 reflected just that. It was my first year solely working as a blogger and writer and I’m pretty sure I lost who I was in …
I’m not big on resolutions really. Mostly because I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like to wait or set dates or to plan really at all. In other, and far less flattering words, I’m very impatient. My husband is the patient planner and I’m the DO IT NOWer, which admittedly leads to certain conflicts, …
…it’s actually a really random assortment of photos from our day; many of Delilah because she’s just constantly being cute… and we were playing, of course. She caught me spitting a nut out in the kitchen sink {yuck, nuts in cake, blech} and then did the exact same thing just minutes later in the living …
Yesterday morning, just after waking, I walked sleepy-faced and messy-haired out to the living room as I normally do, where I was greeted with a big smile and an even bigger hug from our housekeeper, Alba. This is not unusual however, Alba and I embrace in a warm hug and cheek kiss every two weeks …
We have a really fun neighborhood full of great people and tons of kiddos, who happen to remember that we always give out full-sized candy bars on Halloween AND we let them choose whatever they want. This year was no different really, except for the addition of Miss Delilah George, who was meant to go …
We’ve been a bit behind on the Halloween decor front this month because we’ve been so distracted by our house situation {we are in escrow, eek!}. My husband usually has boxes of king sized candy bars just waiting to hand out on Halloween to all the kiddos but he hasn’t even gotten them yet. This …
In the midst of all the commotion in our lives at the moment, we constantly find ourselves trying not to become too attached to outcomes. At the moment, this thinking mostly revolves around not only the close of escrow of our possible new house in Lake Arrowhead but also getting attached to the “idea” of …
