A Momma Getaway at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire

December 4, 2011

Every once in a while as parents we need a reminder to take care of ourselves. We spend our lives day in and day out catering to our families needs in one way or another, not recognizing or taking a moment out of the day to devote to ourselves. At least that’s me. Planning vacations [...]

Hurricane Irene: Blessings in Disguise

September 1, 2011

Last Thursday was one of the craziest days I have had in a very, very long time. I was up at 5AM packing lunches, writing notes for the babysitter, finding a broadcast worthy blouse, and loading up my suitcase for a weekend trip to Los Angeles. Justin left at 7:30AM to take one of the [...]

July 20, 2011

I spent my first two pregnancies in the calm, cool and collected corners of Northern California. My first was a winter baby, and while I remember it raining the day that we left the hospital, I don’t recall any other sort of climate inconvenience during those first, long nine months. I was thrilled about getting [...]

Golden State Escape

June 29, 2011

We’re back in the city after an exciting, relaxing and restorative vacation back home to Northern California. Nothing like traveling back in time to land far, far away to gain a little perspective.

Today marks the second birthday of one of the coolest, most poignant projects of my life. I’ve been blogging now for two years exactly, and while it feels about right, I’m still in awe at the freedom and joy that documenting our journey to New York City from California has brought me.

Finding Home

December 7, 2010

I’ve fallen deeply in love with New York City. I feel the butterflies buzzing around in my stomach even when I have to navigate the mundane routine. Yet everyone knows that when it’s true love, the words “mundane” and “routine” cease to exist. This is a relationship that is bittersweet, though, as I know that [...]

California

September 9, 2010

I couldn’t think of the best way to tell you about our glorious trip back “home” to California, so I put together a little slide show set to a song that I literally grew up with. And so my friends, I introduce you to my life, and my heart, in the Bay Area.

These Dog Days

August 20, 2010

It’s been a really nice, busy summer.  I love that there is never a dull moment here in the city.  There is always something fun to do, and for that reason alone I never want to leave. Madison Square Park Kids throws a free concert for children on Tuesdays, and has many other programs geared [...]
