I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Jack and I took a trip to the Museum of Ice Cream in Los Angeles on the third day it was open!…

Though I have been cooking more recently than before, I have never really been one to keep a recipe book or card box. That is until the awesome ladies at Lily & Val offered to send me The Keepsake Kitchen Diary…

I may come across as put-together, but trust me, all you have to do is feel my tense shoulders to know that a very different story is going on in my body. I am constantly stressed and anxious about everything from work and finances to whether or not I'm doing all that I can to create a happy life for my family…

Last month, we had the pleasure of going to Aulani, the Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii! It was such an honor to be invited to visit this magical place that I had on my bucket list. Though we go to Oahu about twice a year, I had never been to this side of the island…

Taking your preschoolers to Disneyland can seem like a pretty daunting task, but since there are so many wonderful things to do there, I think it’s totally worth the work involved!…

The three of us took a trip to Mexico City at the end of last year. It was our second time there and we loved it. The drone captured the shot of us in bed at the St. Regis…

When I was little, I was a total tomboy and I was completely enamored with the idea of having a car bed. My obsession with cars was fueled by not only the little cars I would play with instead of dolls, but also a show called Knight Rider. I was certain that if I could sleep in a "car," my dreams would be that much cooler!…

I don't know about you but I have always been a fan of stickers. Puffy stickers, letter stickers, scratch and sniff stickers... you name it, I love it! Luckily, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree as Jack is equally as obsessed…

Often I hear stories from moms who have saved all their childrens' baby mementos with the intention of making a scrapbook, but then inevitably feeling overwhelmed and having no idea where to begin…

In October I had the pleasure of taking Jack on his fourth trip to Hawaii! He has no idea how lucky he is considering the first time I went I was in my twenties. His dad too. I had to be there for work (rough, I know)…

As luck would have it, on my birthday last month, Chevrolet invited me to Palm Springs. What a treat it was to go on a quick little trip and spend two nights at The Parker…

The month went too fast and I think I only spent 7 nights in my own bed. It was full of travel and work and projects and fun, but man oh man did it fly by much too quickly…

It has been a little too long since I have shown you any planner related things. To be truthful, my planner these days is not worth showing and there's too much sloppy handwriting and things I would have to blur out anyways…

Making dinner on weeknights and meal planning is definitely not one of my strengths. However, preparing healthy and delicious things in an uncomplicated way is a priority. I recognize this dilemma and have accepted that I need to keep things as simple as possible when making healthy meals at home…

A couple months ago when I asked Jack what he wanted his birthday cake to be, he enthusiastically exclaimed, "FIRE TRUCK!" Since he seemed pretty set on the idea, I started keeping it in the back of my mind as a loose theme for his birthday party…

I had to post this photo on Instagram with this caption: When a lovely stranger asks if they can take a photo for you, right after your son spills ice cream on himself and you've got too many bags and melting McConnell's, you still say yes…

You know you’re an English major when an internship opportunity requires you to see a circus! But not just any old circus…

It's been a while since I have shown you some scrapbook pages. Funny thing because it's definitely still a passion and we make them on a regular basis for clients, I just haven't done a 12x12 page for myself lately…
