dining with dad: macy’s coffee

[I]t’s no secret that I am a coffee enthusiast. In fact, that may be putting it mildly. Yes, I have a bit of an obsession. It could be worse, you know. When traveling, I am always concerned with where I am going to find a good cup of coffee. Sometimes, I’ll go as far as… Continue reading dining with dad: macy’s coffee

baby 2 baby

[A]s a mother, my day usually begins the same way. I am woken up by the sound of my baby crying. I walk into the nursery, pick Rhys up from the  crib, change his diaper, then make him breakfast while he plays with his 2 month baby toys entertaining himself. The morning ritual is so engrained in… Continue reading baby 2 baby

[S]top right there! Make no assumptions. This dining trip was entirely my idea, not my husband’s. “Really?” you ask. “Hooters?” Yes. I understand you’re puzzled. I get it.

I was fully… Continue reading concert: lana del rey

Alas, as we walked to the Sunset Junction Jubilee a couple weeks ago, there was a hand-written sign on the door at… Continue reading dining with dad: heywood grilled cheese

bugaboo: neon pop!

[O]kay, I am obsessed with my Bugaboo stroller. I love it to pieces, but I’d like to switch up the color. As much as I’d love to spring for a new ride for Rhys, I can’t quite justify it. Instead, I’ll share with you the latest special edition stroller: The Bugaboo Neon Pop. Cool navy… Continue reading bugaboo: neon pop!
