On the way home from Palm Springs, we stopped by my parent’s house for my nephew’s 9th birthday party. My parents still live in the same home they moved to when I was 10, in the same town I grew up in. Because we were coming from a different direction than usual, we got off […]
I swore I wasn’t going to throw Taylor a party this year. Actually last year, after the beautifully exhausting mermaid party, I swore I wasn’t going to throw a party for her. At the time I was swollen pregnant, hormonal, hot and tired. I couldn’t imagine going through all the rigamarole with a 6 month […]
In light of the events of this week, and especially the ones that have transpired over night in Boston, I struggled with what to post today. I had a post lined up sharing some exciting news with you all, but for today it just didn’t feel right. After spending the morning out running errands for […]
It wasn’t until after I graduated from UCSB that I even discovered the Santa Ynez Valley, a small area about 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara. Known for its countless wineries and gorgeous rolling hills, we started visiting the area for short weekend trips in our mid twenties, and since have usually found an excuse […]
I’ll be back to regular 52 Weeks To Create posting next week, since we were on vacation I don’t have anything new to post in that area. For today though, since I was announcing the Tea Giveaway (yay Ginger!) I thought it was only fitting to talk a bit about kid’s style, and how we […]

Tomorrow, Hayden will turn 6 months old, and I will have made it through the first 6 months of his life, free of PPD. The weeks after he was born, when I felt happy and at peace, there was always a thought in the back of my mind that I couldn’t count myself home free […]
Hello friends. This is my last post of the year and I’m looking forward to taking some much needed time off with family and friends over the next week and a half. I’m wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and rest of the year. Before I sign off, I wanted to share with you a […]
In light of the heaviness of yesterday’s post, I thought I’d share something that made me smile yesterday, and keeps making me smile every time I watch it. Hayden just started laughing a couple of weeks ago. I’m terrible about recording all those moments the second they happen, so we’ll just say he started giving […]
I’ve never understood woman that loved having a newborn. The sleep deprivation, the constant fussiness and the rocking and shushing and swaying and bouncing that goes along with it. The sore breasts and sore back from being hunched over feeding an infant for at least half of your day. I honestly didn’t believe them when […]
