Romy & Piper’s 8th Birthday, Harry Potter Style
I truly cannot believe the girls are EIGHT! In my head I always kind of thought they’d suddenly seem “big” when they were 8—their baby faces would leave me and I would feel a shift, my little girls would be on their way to BIG. And I was right: their faces have thinned out, their…

AMAZON PRIME DAY FAVORITES!
Hi team! If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’m not the type to get excited about a sale unless it’s GOOD – things that are super useful and very marked down! I would never ever shop a sale for the sake of shopping a sale. That being said, I have been really…
Disneyland like a Local
We’ve had the annual pass for locals since before the girls were born – not because I’m a Disney adult, but because we always wanted to be able to meet up with family and friends when they’d come to town to go. Now it doesn’t make as much sense to have for many reasons, but…

When I asked Romy and Piper what kind of 7th birthday party they wanted, they said “a cat and dog party”…what? I was stumped until @kaelireed helped me pull it into an actual idea. Since then, I’ve had three friends throw the exact same party for their kids, with rave reviews, so I figured I’d give it…
The New Place
Ok, so now that I’ve told you why we moved, I’ll answer some of your questions about the new place ;). We moved to the Bonsall/Fallbrook/Vista area. It’s about an hour south and inland from where we were living in Costa Mesa, just inland from Oceanside. With all of the time spent at home this year,…
PTSD and NICU Parents
Recently a family member sent me an article from the Wall Street Journal entitled, For Parents of Ill Children, a Growing Recognition of PTSD. As I read the article, I couldn’t help but cry. I felt so validated for so many feelings I’ve had over the last 18 months, and so much less alone to be able to put…
Romy + Piper’s First Ski Day
We’ve been dying to get to the mountains with Romy and Piper this winter, and we finally made it. Blake’s been joking about how he wanted to ski with the girls – one in front and one on his back – and he got to make it happen! Saturday we took them up to Sundance…
