Bay Area

The Final Chapter

May 8, 2013

My mother told me when we were embarking upon Dental School and New York City that this journey in our life would really only be a blip in time, retrospectively. A small star in the galaxy of our days in this life. At the time, it was a bit of a coping mechanism; Four years [...]

NYC Made Me a Better Parent

July 13, 2012

It was nearly three years ago exactly that we were preparing to move our family to New York City. I remember how I felt about leaving our cozy little town chalk full of family and support network. It wasn’t exactly terror, it wasn’t even completely fearful. Anticipation and uncertainty flooded every single pore and molecule [...]

Tea with Kiki & Coco in Paris

March 8, 2012

My old Beatrix Potter tea set is waiting patiently for my daughter to be old enough to use it. I keep a tab that says the weather in London on my iphone – even though I have not been there in years and probably won’t be for at least another decade. I have a teddy [...]

February 27, 2012

This is the first post by my dearest friend and newest contributor, Melissa Rofer. She is from and lives in the same area we are from in California.

Of Nick Swisher and Legos

July 10, 2010

Lego just recently moved into their flagship store in Rockefeller Center, and Bubba and I were invited to attend the Grand Opening. I jumped at the chance to check it out both because my son is an avid Duplo fan, and well, mommy wanted to see Nick Swisher in person. Let’s be honest. Nick Swisher [...]

Word(less) Wednesday

January 7, 2010

I just can’t help myself. I have to share these amazing photos that my friend Helene at Hellybee Photography took of my mom, my sister, the kids and I. Words really cannot express how much I love these pictures… but I will try. My Heart: *sigh*

Empire State of Mind

November 13, 2009

Whew. Well, we’re back in the city and honestly it feels amazing. This trip back to California was just what I needed. We missed daddy terribly, but it was good for him to put all of his energy into his first midterm (which he got a B on, yay!). He missed us too… I think [...]

Soul: Restored

November 4, 2009

It has been SO nice to be back in our hometown in California. We’ve enjoyed my mother’s homemade chili, a glorious pumpkin patch visit with friends, amazing weather, and countless other moments that have made this trip completely worth the while. I was still feeling unsure about my decision to come back here, but all [...]

A Love Story

October 18, 2009

Four years ago, I was a floundering mess. Although I had a decent job, I had just gotten out of an unhealthy relationship with a man and was trying desperately to find the path that would lead to my happiness and certainty of my future. I just didn’t know it. I was 26 years old [...]
