Family, Fun, Food, and Home Design
We just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on September 7th. It's crazy how fast the time flies but I love looking back at all of our pictures and remembering the day. We worked so hard to make the celebration a true reflection of us and I still love every little detail. If you want to [...]
We were invited to see The Incredibles 2 in a 4DX movie theater and let me tell you, it takes your movie experience to a whole new level. It was also Little Nugget's first movie in a theater. I was a little nervous about how she'd react since she currently can't sit through a full [...]
Are you looking for the best gifts for men? The ones who seem to have everything and don't ever need anything? Husband, boyfriend, brother or Grandfather...they can be super tricky to shop for. Or if you are married to someone like my husband, will throw out ideas all year long but when it comes time [...]
I have a bit of a cookbook addition. So when my girlfriends were raving about The Whole Smiths Good Food cookbook, I had high expectations. I spent a week cooking lots of different recipes from it, I wanted to be sure that I could give my authentic opinion on it based on all the content, [...]
Last year I MADE money while doing my Christmas shopping. How is that possible? Ebates. Have you heard of it?

I've had the same bedtime routine with our oldest since she was old enough to talk. Tub, brush teeth, read a book, sing a song and "talk about my day". Sure we switch up what books we read, she's really into our back to school book list right now, and what songs we sing but one [...]
Remember the days when our DIY Halloween costumes consisted of something super cheap from the thrift store and we just said we were random characters from a 70's tv show? Now as a parent, things are a bit different. There is so much pressure to figure out what costume everyone is going to wear. When [...]
We had an opportunity to go downtown San Diego to Balboa Park and visit the Natural History Museum. They invited us down to check out The Backyard, a brand new space specifically designed for kids up to 5 years old. Perfect for my Nuggets. Last year, I took the girls down to The Nat to [...]
Our front door was in major need of an update. The paint was starting to chip and I wanted to bring in a more bold pop of color, since it is technically on the side of the house, I felt like I could get away with it. Plus, after seeing our laundry room transformation, it's [...]
