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…

Birthday Boy + Funfetti Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls
Tuesday we celebrated this big boy’s FOURTH birthday! I was feeling terrible because I didn’t plan anything for him (his birthday kind of snuck up on me this year) But Miles was the happiest boy on his birthday and so easy going. Well, a little bossy, but happy to play with is brothers and a few…
Organic Snacking with Simple Truth Baby
Over the last couple of years we have been incorporating more and more organic foods and products into our home and diets. We don’t exclusively buy or eat organically, but where it makes sense for us, when we find products we really love, and that are affordable, we do. The Simple Truth line sold exclusively at Kroger stores…
Everyday Makeup in Minutes
You guys. Tell me I’m not the only one who has like ten minutes to slap some makeup on my face, do something-ish to my hair, and throw on some clothes for the day before my toddler has found a toilet to play in, destroyed every room in the house, or is whining at my feet, tugging…
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…
Graham’s in a Big Boy Bed!
Grahammy is in a big boy bed! We transferred each of the other boys from cribs to big boy beds right around 18 months too, for no other reason than a friend told me her kids always transferred better earlier. We tried it with Owen, and it worked really well. So we’ve continued with each…
Five Favorite Uses for Coconut Oil
I’ve been wanting share some of our favorite uses for coconut oil for a while now! I think you know I love, love, looooove to use it in the kitchen but we’ve found a few other uses for it that we love. I usually just buy the Kirkland Organic Coconut Oil from Costco, I think…
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…
