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 …
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 …
I chalk it up to an easy first and second trimester. It has to be the world evening things out because that third trimester of mine was a doozy. Countless doctors visits and two (!!) hospital stays before giving birth. All ending with an unplanned cesarean to boot. We are extremely thankful for our healthy …
You can probably guess I’ve been dreaming about traveling to Europe since I was a little girl. Pretty sure it’s a major bucket list item for most people! This trip was supposed to be our original honeymoon, but timing and expenses didn’t allow us to book it so soon after our wedding. So, after a little more time …
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 …
It’s no big secret that we love going to Mexico. Even when we lived in Seattle it seemed we were always heading south of the border for our annual anniversary trips. We visited Cancun in 2011, Puerto Vallarta in 2012, and spent our first weekend as newlyweds (our “mini-moon”) in Valle de Guadalupe in the …
People. It’s been over two years since we moved to San Diego! TWO YEARS! I can’t even… time just races by and doesn’t even stop long enough for us to wave hello before it’s gone. Even still, I feel so fortunate for our time here. Some of the most momentous occasions have happened in this city and though it …
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 …
Not long after I said “YES” to Michael’s proposal, the wedding planning wheels started turning in my head. I am a self-described “girly girl”, but believe it or not I had no preconceived notions about my own wedding. I would drool over other people’s engagement and wedding photos, but never gave much thought to what …
