After my exciting 1 minute encounter with Gwyneth on Saturday, I was feeling wild and dangerous, so I went bikini shopping. As you know last year, I hid myself under several flattering one-piece suits, and while I still love both the pink and green suits I chose, truth be told, life under a one-piece is […]
I realize it’s been weeks since I’ve written a proper post over here. I’ve been in a post-spring break haze, fumbling around, still trying to get back into the swing of things. It’s getting warmer, the sun is out longer, and I’ve been doing yoga every day, so in other words, there have been so […]
Our usually mild California weather has been a bit schizophrenic the past few weeks. Wilder than usual winds and record breaking heat waves one day, and then chilly temps that have you wearing a sweater the next. I can’t make heads or tails of it, and the other day I felt a cool after school treat […]
Sometime a couple years back, I decided to try Nutella, and we quickly grew more than a little hooked. Since it was “hazelnut” spread, I naively figured that since it was nut based, it was a delicious, too good to be true healthy treat. I never even bothered looking at the ingredients, and when I […]
Last week I turned 38 and nothing in my life changed. I don’t feel different, sadder or better. 38 isn’t much of a monumental birthday. Not like 35 or even 36, when you go from being mid to late thirties. Or maybe 38 is considered late thirties now? I don’t know. At any rate, I […]
One of my biggest spring break projects to tackle during our 2 week “vacation”, is to clean up the craft cabinet. What was once a hyper-organized collection of beautiful supplies and tools, has since become a tangled mess of hoarded craft projects and things I don’t need. So I’ve been going drawer by drawer, shelf […]
I’m excited to announce I’ve joined the Wayfair team as a new contributor. I’ll be sharing recipes, cooking tips, and maybe a DIY project or two, once a month. My first post has been published, right in time for Easter, and Mother’s Day. This butternut squash and kale frittata is an easy, yet impressive dish […]
I’ve been experimenting with adding new snack and breakfast items to my rotation. Things I can grab when I’m feeling hungry but have very little time. Things that will prevent me from dipping into a bag of chips or stopping at the coffee shop and grabbing a muffin. Chia pudding is a somewhat new-to-me concept, […]
If you are at all involved in some sort of social media, whether you blog or not, you may have heard some hulabaloo about the American Blogger train wreck that won’t quit. Basically, the trailer was released for the film, and all hell broke loose on Twitter (you can search the #americanblogger hashtag on Twitter, […]
Dress – Madewell, Jacket – Zara, Shoes – Zara, Necklace – J. Crew, Bag – Reed Krakoff The church we’ve been attending for the past few months tends to lean towards the more dressy side, rather than casual. The pastor is never without a dress shirt and sport coat, and most of the congregation makes […]
