Living in coastal San Diego, we spend a fair share of time down at the beach. Through the years, I've learned what summer essentials are necessary for our beach life. Of course you need a good bag, lots of towels and snacks....lots and lots of snacks. But this is my list of summer essentials beyond [...]
While waiting for the preschool doors to open at pickup the other day, one of the Mom's said: "I can't believe summer is only 9 weeks long." ONLY? NINE WEEKS. Ya'll, I'm starting to panic. That seems like an eternity to me. To quell my anxiety, I started to make a list and break it [...]
Peeps can be one of the more controversial aspects of Easter. People either love them or hate them. Personally, I'm on the fence. I don't mind them but they aren't my favorite. Then again, I'm not a huge candy fan to begin with (unless you are a bite size Snickers, then it's game on). One [...]
This post contains affiliate links. This year, some of our family will be in town over Easter weekend and we are so excited! I'm starting to pull together my menu for the day but I can guarantee my favorite dessert and these raspberry sweet rolls will be included. The Easter bunny already finished it's shopping [...]

This post contains affiliate links. It's Catholic Schools week in San Diego which almost means that it's Teacher Appreciation time. Last year, we had just started preschool the week before and I literally just had a baby so our gift was a card and some money. It was greatly appreciated but I wanted to be [...]
It's hard to believe that we just celebrated Little Nugget's first birthday. She doesn't actually turn one until this Saturday but we did the party a week early since we had family in town. I said wasn't going to go crazy, and I actually think I kept myself in check this time around. The guest [...]
I hosted a fun crafty brunch to kick off the holiday season but if you are looking for a last minute gift, these handprint crafts are perfect.
EDIT: I love our Elves so much that I've become an affiliate and the links in this post have been updated to my affiliate links. The Kindness Elves are coming back to our house for a visit and I'll be honest, I'm slightly anxious about it. I did it a little bit last year but [...]
This weekend I'm hosting a ceramic painting party with my friend from Clay a Go Go. Each year at Christmas, I've done handprint and footprint mugs with Big Nugget. They make great Grandparent, Godparent and teacher gifts. We've also made Santa cookie plates, ornaments and I always make a mug for myself. You don't need [...]
