Just popping in today to say a quick hello, and that you should totally make this salad! Sorry, not yelling, just emphasizing. We’ve thrown it together several times over the last couple of weeks and it’s just so simple, fresh, and filling! I bought everything from Trader Joe’s for this! Not that you need to, but…
Strawberry Jalapeño Cream Cheese Spread + a simple summer Charcuterie Board
Yesterday I ran seven miles! I know it’s not far for some, but it’s the longest I’ve ran in really long time. I’ve started running more now that we live by the coast–I’d be crazy if I didn’t run at the beach living so close now. So I’ve decided to run a half marathon again!…
Taquito Bites with Greek Yogurt Taco Dip
This post is brought to you in partnership with El Monterey. All opinions are my own! I don’t know about your kiddos, but my boys are starrrrrrving when they walk in the door from school! Owen will get home right around two o’clock and what we typically consider an after school snack is really more like…
The Great Sand Dunes + a $17 Swimsuit
We are home we are home we are HOME! And it feels sooooooo good! We took a day to recover by not doing a thing yesterday + we are off to the beach again today. Trying to soak up the last few weeks of summer before school starts! Just thought I’d share some pictures from our…
Jif® Happy Morning Hacks | Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites + an Easy Toast Bar
This post is brought to you in partnership with Jif® Peanut Butter. Thank you for supporting the brands we love! I can’t believe we’re halfway through July and the boys will be back in school in less than a month! I haven’t done anything to get ready for school yet have you? Like, Miles isn’t even…
A little bit of Colorado!
Over the last two weeks we’ve been in Colorado, Utah, now back to Colorado! We are visiting each of our families and had a wedding to attend in between. Two weeks into our three week vacation and we’re all a little sleep deprived and anxious for our own beds again, but wouldn’t trade time with family…
Embracing the Mess of Summer
One of my biggest struggles as a mom who stays at home with the kids all day, is embracing the mess. The messy house, messy baby, messy car, messy EVERYTHING. I know, it just comes with the territory of having kids (especially boys) but I’m the type that thrives in a clean and organized, not messy environment….
Peach Pie Protein Shake
We made the 16 hour drive from San Diego to Colorado! Those 16 hours actually took something more like 20 because road tripping with little kids always adds on a few extra hours. But we are here, up in the mountains spending time with Brett’s family. The boys are in cousin heaven! We’ll be on…
Best Ever Turkey Burgers {New Abs Diet Hall of Fame Burgers}
After our stay at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, we stayed one more night with some of our good friends that live in Gilbert, Arizona. They are the kind of friends that feel like family, the kind that lets your family crash at their place with just a couple of days notice and then feeds you…
Family Getaway at the Four Seasons Scottsdale
Finally sharing some pictures from our little family getaway at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona a couple of weekends ago! Brett and I realized that we have never really vacationed just the five of us. We usually travel and go on “vacation” with or to visit family. Our kids are getting to that age…
Come to the Beach With us + see what’s in my beach bag + tips on beaching with babies
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…
Chili Lime Beef & Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps
Oh hey there! We just got back from a weekend (and really hot) getaway in Scottsdale, Arizona. I’ll share pics of our trip with you soon! The great thing about traveling home on a Monday is it makes for a super short work-week! It’s already Wednesday, which means the weekend is just around the corner…
