We had quite a few rainy days this week…ugh! I know that here in California we need rain, but I hate it. If it never rained I would be totally fine with that, you know, minus the whole drought aspect. Rainy days are the worst. I hate being cooped up indoors, especially with kiddos around. … Read more
I was putting laundry away in our closet the other day and Little Miss Henley found my box of gift wrap. She pulled out all of my pretty tissue and a bunch of ribbon that I have been saving hoarding for the last who knows how many years and had a field day with it! She … Read more
A few weeks ago, I was delighted to learn that in a monthly pool for Birchbox Book Club, I won the December Book of the Month to review! While I do enjoy reading, and would have loved the chance to review any book, it was even more perfect that this month’s book was a dessert … Read more
Another rainy day today…fortunately, my hubby was home today to make the gloomy day much brighter.

I say woman because let’s face it, it’s a girly holiday. I have never met a man who gets excited about Valentine’s Day. As a mom with a baby celebrating their first Valentine’s … Read more
I cannot believe that Valentine’s Day is this weekend! This year, every holiday has been extra exciting with little Henley around. I can’t wait to share with you her Valentine’s outfit; it is so stinking cute! I know she’s only ten months old, but she is my little love and since Brent works on Valentine’s … Read more
I live in Southern California, and while we may not have nearly as cold of weather as the rest of the country, there have been a few days recently that have been pretty chilly. It didn’t help that our entire family was sick on and off for the better part of last month. For us, … Read more
