DIY Graphic Onesies

My little guy is growing despite his best efforts to refuse all solid foods lately. He’s now comfortably fitting into 12 month clothes and has quickly outgrown the arrow onesie I made for him just 2 months ago. So it was time to stencil up some new pieces for him to wear, and this time […]

Making Clothes Work For You – Workout Edition

Spring is here my friends, and it seems that now is the season when I really start to see people get serious about getting in shape, even more so than in the beginning of the year. Suddenly as the weather turns, stepping outside for a run or walk doesn’t seem so daunting, and with the […]

DIY Floral Glitter Crowns

Since we were getting all random on Taylor’s “favorite things” party, we decided to throw some floral crowns into the mix.  After all they combine all the things that most 7-8 year old little girls love; hair accessories, flowers, color and glitter.  I decided to skip goodie bags and hand these out instead.  They also […]

Taylor’s Favorite Things Birthday Party

I swore I wasn’t going to throw Taylor a party this year.  Actually last year, after the beautifully exhausting mermaid party, I swore I wasn’t going to throw a party for her.  At the time I was swollen pregnant, hormonal, hot and tired.  I couldn’t imagine going through all the rigamarole with a 6 month […]

The Girl Who Made Me A Mother

In light of the events of this week, and especially the ones that have transpired over night in Boston, I struggled with what to post today.  I had a post lined up sharing some exciting news with you all, but for today it just didn’t feel right.  After spending the morning out running errands for […]

How To Throw A Watercolor Workshop

Slowly and surely since Hayden has been born, I’ve developed a new routine of enjoying Sunday night on the couch with Art, watching a plethora of our favorite TV shows, which happen to now all appear on Sunday nights. From Downton to Dexter to Mad Men, Sunday nights are now for the couch and cuddling, […]

Slow Paced Vacationing – Our Santa Ynez Trip

It wasn’t until after I graduated from UCSB that I even discovered the Santa Ynez Valley, a small area about 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara. Known for its countless wineries and gorgeous rolling hills, we started visiting the area for short weekend trips in our mid twenties, and since have usually found an excuse […]

Los Olivos Style

Still going through photos from our trip.  It was probably the best trip we’ve ever taken as a family.  I was telling someone today that Hayden has a calming factor on all of us.  When packing for the trip I focused on a couple of casual outfits, but I also took it as an opportunity […]
