And other things.
I’ve been wanting to schedule a family photo session forever, and we were finally able to this past month! Theo gets bigger with every minute and I didn’t want to miss out on this stage in life. We called on our trusted friend, Stephanie, who did an incredible job with our wedding and engagement photos. She managed …
We met a new dad at a coffee shop the other day. His little girl was about Theo’s age and their family had just moved to San Diego a couple of weeks ago. It brought me back to when we first moved here and how lost we felt in terms of where to go, what …
There have been so many times in the last year when I was afraid to ask a stupid question. About parenting, about nursing, about starting solids, etc. Countless times. But I was too scared to be judged or thought of as an incapable parent. So, I’m sharing some things I eventually figured out and wish …
While motherhood brought many unexpected life changes, the “stay-at-home-mom” aspect has been the most surprising adjustment. I never thought I’d be fortunate enough to be a SAHM (yes, there’s an acronym), but I couldn’t imagine it any other way. It’s exhausting, but amazing. Repetitious, but ever-changing. Frustrating, but oh so worth it. Before I get …
We’re almost ten days into our trip and on our way to Florence. Still rolling our “cinquecento,” we got an early start from Cortona so we could make a quick stop in Chianti. Radda to be exact. My in-laws stayed there some years back during what was one of the best trips of their lives, …
Happy (Almost) New Year!! Enjoying these last hours of 2014 by sitting and thinking about what’s most important to me. I was able to spend much of the holidays with family this year, and it’s only when the house is empty again that I realize how much they mean to me. Feeling extremely blessed and …
Hello!! I guess I needed a little break to settle back into normal life after the wedding. Aside from the fact that I couldn’t remember what I talked and wrote about before the last year! It really is incredible how much planning a wedding can take over your life and you don’t even realize it …
After a year of planning, we’re finally MARRIED!! Thank goodness! This past year has been the craziest, happiest, most stressful times of my life, but it was all worth it when the 22nd arrived. Even this last week has been a whirlwind with the last of friends and family departing, cleaning house, and leaving for …
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Hope you and yours are having a great holiday season xo We had a fairly quiet and very relaxing first Christmas in California this year. Saving for a wedding keeps the budget pretty tight, but we’ll see our loved ones very soon! Almost two months to the day. And a …
After being gone for awhile, there’s nothing like coming home. We recently returned from two amazing weeks in the Philippines, and I can’t remember the last time I was away from home that long. You start to forget you have a normal life to return to! After a few days, the inevitable thoughts of “I …
