Lovecats, I don’t usually share these kind of posts here, but my cousin Kelley really needs your help! She’s been in a custody war with her ex husband, an abuser, who will not stop taking her to court in order to {ruin her life, in my opinion}, but also to gain back custody of their …
After experiencing our first fun and snowy white Winter, I’ve been admittedly looking forward to our first Summer on the lake, and so far, it hasn’t disappointed. Everyone says it’s a Summer town rather than a Winter one, but we weren’t really sure what they meant until our lake, which is normally nice and quiet …
I keep seeing the trailer for the new movie called The Way Way Back, a coming of age story that takes place during a teenager’s summer vacation and it’s taking me way, way back to one of my family trips as a teen… Why do parents always think road trips are going to be fun? …
Please welcome to the world Dominic Dante Tintari, the littlest Tintari, brother to my husband and brother in law, to me. He’s just the sweetest thing on the planet… born on Saturday, April 20th at about 3:30pm {I think}. His mama, Natalie had a wonderful home birth in water, without doctors or drugs, like a …
…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 …

I can’t even believe it has been three whole years since this little lady was born. It feels like just yesterday when I held her tiny, squirming, hairless, alien body in my arms, ever-worried that I was going to squish her with my man hands at any moment. I loved her from the moment I …
Today, this morning rather, my grandpa passed away. I’ve been sick with a nasty head cold and in bed all weekend, so I didn’t get the news until about noon today. My husband had to break it to me, which of course ended in tears and hugs. Such sadness. My grandpa was an incredible drummer …
Let me just start off by saying, for the millionth time, that I am impressed every time a new pair of Crocs shoes arrive at my doorstep. Not only are they well made, ridiculously light-weight, comfortable, AND affordable, they are stylish as well. My husband literally has not taken them off since he slipped on …
It seems I’ve been locked up in my home office for months now, finishing projects, blogging, and most importantly, writing my book. With the end of April came my final deadline to hand my manuscript in to my publisher. And after months of hard work, I am proud to say that I am finally finished! …
As usual, it was a warm and sunny Christmas day here in Los Angeles and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love it. I remember riding my brand new skateboard in my brand new fringe boots and denim Guess mini skirt in the 80’s on a sunny Christmas morning and marveling in it… …
What I’m Wearing* Paige Premium jeans* Brown tee from the Gap* Thrifted flannel plaid button down… also seen here.* Vintage army belt* Brown bag by Kooba* Crocs buckle booty with fur… courtesy of Crocs. Admittedly, I wouldn’t have thought twice about Crocs unless they contacted me and sent me a few pairs as they have …
This is totally random but I came across these photos from my brother’s 8th grade graduation at the beginning of Summer of 1996 and mostly wanted to share this… …and also admit that it’s the very first time I ever noticed it in the background. You know, something about only looking at yourself in photos. …
What I’m Wearing …a simple outfit for a simple afternoon* J Brand “Houlihan” skinny cargo pants …same basic outfit here but styled differently today.* Liz Claiborne vintage top . . . little story behind this; Masumi my pseudo-grandmother gave this top to my mom in the 70’s because it was a bit too big on …
My mom had eye surgery the Tuesday before Easter and couldn’t join the family festivities because she was still recovering {i.e. had to keep her head down} so we decided to surprise her with a little impromptu family celebration of our own. And she was very excited to have us there with her. Here are …
