We live less than two miles from the beach now and we are all giddy about it! As a Colorado girl who grew up in the mountains, I am still completely enamored with the ocean. Don’t ever make me leave! Now that we live so close, we’ve simplified how we go to the beach. After…
Adventure
On the Go with CLIF Kid Zbar
Just one more week until school’s out for the summer! I can’t believe it! We’ve got a few summer camps, swim lessons, a little bit of traveling planned, plus a whole lot of park and beach days! I look forward to doing it all on a slightly more care-free, not-so-rushed-kind-of a schedule {and hopefully on more…
Carlsbad Strawberry Patch
Yesterday we headed to the strawberry patch in Carlsbad for a little family outing with friends! We drove over thirty minutes to get there, the boys filled their bucket up in under ten minutes, and the strawberries were nearly gone by the time we got home, ha! But we all had fun doing it and just…
Hiking Torrey Pines + Life Lately…
Happy FRIDAY! We’ve lived in San Diego for two years and there are still so many things we have wanted to do but NEVER done! Last weekend we finally hiked (okay more like walked) around Torrey Pines. It’s beautiful there! A fun family activity if you’re visiting San Diego for sure. There are miles of…

Two Ingredient Chocolate Banana Pops
It’s my boys’ Spring break this week and we don’t have a thing planned! It’s going to be a roll-with-it, create-our-own adventures kind of week. All I know is I have to keep them busy and get out of the house or I’ll lose my marbles. We attempted a little shopping yesterday…a selfish and silly…
Mini Home Office + Play Room
I’ve been blogging for about seven years now (I know, that’s like forever!) And all of this time my office has always just been portable…you know, wherever my laptop is. I work at the kitchen table, the couch, my car. But I thought it was time to finally create a little home office for myself….
Must-Haves & Tips for Flying with Kids
Last week I flew to Colorado with the boys, by myself. I can’t tell you how many people looked at me, laughed, and said “You’re brave!” Or how many looks I got that said, “She’s crazy!” To be honest, I thought it was a little crazy myself and I was slightly terrified to fly solo…
Healthy Kiddo Lunches with Planetbox
We are over half way through the school year and I’ve been packing a lunch for Owen every single day. I’ll go ahead and pat my own back for that 😉 It’s just one more the thing on the ever-growing mom list of things to do for your kids every day. Can’t wait until he…
Blood Moon Cookies
Happy Monday friends! We made chocolate chip “blood moon” cookies to celebrate the big lunar eclipse last night!! Did you see it?! It’s all the boys could talk about yesterday they were so excited for it. Hope you enjoy our little {homemade, super unprofessional video}! It’s fun to see just how busy these boys are…
