I can, I will, I DO

First of all, I need to start this by stating that my boss really is an incredible person. That being said, she’s also extremely needy, demanding, dramatic, vocal, requires lots of errands, will literally throw her food on the floor if she doesn’t like it, and expects me to be available 24 hours a Read More >>>

Houston, we have a toddler! My precious little peanut has morphed into a mini human right before my eyes. As of January 25th she officially turned ONE, so of course we had to celebrate… and do it in a big way! If you know me, you know I NEED to have color in my life. It’s just an essential Read More >>>

Hello twenty nineteen! Thank goodness you’re here. I’ve so needed you to wake me up and jolt me away from Christmas cookies, champagne and cider celebrations, way too many massive meals and far too few workouts. But all of that love and cheer (which there were lots!) brought equal parts Read More >>>

Summer’s over! No more white shoes allowed, so long rosé, it’s back to work, back to school, time to get serious, refill the piggy bank, say ta ta to weekends away and hello to rushed lunches, too much caffeine and way too little time in a day. If the period between my last blog and this one is Read More >>>

It really is quite “smashing” being a parent – well, most of the time. What’s funny is how, for months, you think breastfeeding is one of the toughest, most time consuming jobs in the world, UNTIL you suddenly have to add one, two and eventually three “solid food” meals a day on top of it.

Guess what?! I am currently in a baby free, trendy L.A. coffee shop, sipping an iced oat milk latte while waiting for my avocado toast to arrive. There isn’t a leaky bottle next to me, spit on my shoulder, a pump device attached to my boobs, or a high pitched off-key Mariah or Celine worthy coo in Read More >>>

I hope everyone’s gotten their fill of firecrackers, forgotten sunscreen spots, beer, bubbly, endless BBQ, and just about all things 4th by now. But before we completely move onto the next, lets try n’ squeeze one more “4” in there … month four that is … with our little Miss Xena Rae. This was Read More >>>

Month three was all about breaking free from our now-accustomed house arrest. But, to where?! Truly, it didn’t matter. The art of packing up a baby, absurdly heavy stroller base, ditto car seat, complete diaper bag (which is so much more than just diapers), milk, pump, pump parts, a cooler, ice pack Read More >>>

Is it bad that I already have to look back on my Instagram to remember what my child’s second month of life looked like (which btw was only two months ago)?! Time for a coffee. * Mom hack, if you’re worried about you and your baby being excessively caffeinated but love your cup of joe, try a Read More >>>

When you think of “a month” how do you really gauge that amount of time? Four weekends, two paychecks, and maybe a national holiday, if you’re lucky? That’s loosely where my headspace has always been too, UNTIL I reached month-9 of baby-growing and day ONE of post-pushing welcome to Read More >>>
