We’re spending our last day lounging in Palm Springs, but popping in to wish you a smooth post-holiday weekend reentry. I loved seeing everyone all gussied up on Instagram yesterday. Since our families live halfway across the country, we are creating our own holiday traditions, and spending Easter in Palm Springs has become a given. [...]
Merry Day After Christmas! We are in Oklahoma enjoying family, eating/drinking our way into a comatose state, and freezing our tushes off. (All of that complaining about our frigid 59-degree Newport Beach winter season? I take it back. It currently feels like -134 degrees here in OKC.) Hey, if you plan on laying low by [...]
The past three months have been a bit unusual. Buying and renovating a house is obviously stressful. Joyful and exciting, but stressful. Until we moved last week, D had been leaving around 6am to meet with contractors at the new house, followed by a full day at work, followed by stopping by the house again [...]
You all, I don’t even know how to begin this post. Really truly, SO MUCH TO SAY. Let’s talk about my quick trip to New York last week. It was utterly fantastic. I was invited as a guest of Nutrilite to attend a two-day meeting about health, fitness, and supplements. To be honest, I probably [...]
This happens to me every summer. The family trips, the barbecues, the long days by the pool…blogging? What’s blogging? I don’t need a blog! I can just plant a garden, grow some tomatoes, and perfect my pasta sauce! Or play tennis with the kids! Or make homemade popsicles! Or read a book in the shade [...]
Unlike the majority of the country, I am craving heat this week. Dry desert heat, to be exact. So we are bidding adieu to breezy temps in the 70s and heading into 100+ for the next few days. I can’t wait to relax on a raft with a cold beer in my hand…truly counting the [...]
Look at us. Cigarettes hanging out of our mouths on the school grounds. Oh, such rebellious behavior! We’re SO COOL. Part of the reason we are visiting Oklahoma is to attend my 20th high school reunion. How crazy is that? Crotchety. In honor of my high school days, here are 7 things I will do [...]
I need to go back right now. Thank you to the Westin Maui for sending us to paradise. I’ll be posting about our trip at Babble starting this week.
I’m drowning in laundry (and my kids’ snotty noses), but I wanted to say a quick hello and thank you for all your well wishes for my travels! The past week was…well, I can’t accurately put it into words, but I loved every single minute of it. Dude. The Sarah James Show. Speaking at Mom [...]
Monday morning, I’m leaving California on a little adventure. First stop, New Jersey, where I will get the chance to film my very own talk show at CafeMom Studios. Totally crazy, but super exciting crazy. We’re filming ten episodes devoted to all the things I love to chat about – beauty, style, parenting, travel, fitness, [...]
The lovely folks at Hotels.com provided us with two nights lodging during our trip to Mammoth Lakes, California. Hotels.com has a fantastic loyalty program called Welcome Rewards which rewards you with free hotel nights for your accumulated purchases. For every 10 nights, get 1 free. Just think of it as one of those buy 10 [...]
1. We had such a fun weekend in Mammoth – plenty of snow, temps in the 50s…we couldn’t have asked for more. (We even got a family self portrait on the gondola. Miraculous, I say!) I’m sorting through the photos this weekend, and hope to have a post up Monday. 2. This week’s Beauty and [...]
March kicked my butt. It was one of the busiest months I’ve ever experienced (new opportunities -yay! nonstop hamster wheel in my brain – BOO), so I’m beyond excited that we’re leaving the beach (and my laptop) this morning for a little change of scenery and lots of family time. Be back next week – [...]
The one nice thing about flying to New York and back for one day of work is that I can recap every detail of my trip in 13 photos. Proceed! Sunday morning. The family drops me off at the airport. Wita starts crying. Wito starts crying. I start crying. While completely heart-wrenching at first, I [...]
You guys, I’m so behind on this whole television thing…don’t get me started, really, BUT I just started watching House Hunters International last month and am a total addict junkie. Every night, I can’t wait until the kids are sleeping so D and I can hop in bed and watch several episodes back-to-back. Addict junkie, [...]
