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…

Mother’s Day Family Photoshoot
Earlier this week we were able to do a quick Mother’s Day family photoshoot with Brittany from Reality and Retrospect. She squeezed us in last minute, I sprung it on the boys last minute, and somehow it worked! No tears, just the usual chaos with our boys (wrestling in the sand in between pictures). These are just…
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…

Photos from Easter
Hello! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend! We are still coming down off of a sugar high, but we had a great Easter Sunday together and with friends. We of course started the day nearly 30 minutes late to church, but hey, we made it! And it was Graham’s first day of nursery, which…
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…
Lazy Saturday Mornings + Breathing Better at Home
Happy Monday friends! How was the weekend? We had a low key night at home on Friday and a really lazy Saturday morning before heading out to explore tide pools in the late afternoon! Sometimes we feel the need to rush out and do something fun ALL day long on Saturdays but lazy mornings at…
Work Hard. Be Nice. Choose Happy!
We decided we wanted to have a motto for our family this year! I guess most people choose a word for the year, but we’ve chosen a phrase. We’ve been thinking about it for several days and finally nailed it down. I ordered this “Work Hard & Be Nice” print from Minted for my office (or…
