In shocking Mommy Fail news, I forgot Stevie had spring break this week. We drove him all the way to school and realized no one was even there before it dawned on me. Hashtag forehead slap. I had already scheduled a Disneyland shoot on Monday and since my clients are part of the Stevie Fan…
As kids, our parents always encouraged us to be active and try new things. They really had no money to speak of, but they always found a way to pay for 5 kids and all our extra curricular activities, lessons, uniforms, you name it. They never let the money factor be an excuse. My sister…
I did 3 push-ups yesterday morning. Girl style. Sadly, this is major progress and I was super excited. When you’re used to traveling with a toddler, traveling without one feels like the easiest thing on the planet. Less to pack, less to carry, less to consider, no diapers to change, no one else to feed,…
Can you even believe it’s been a year since my nephew passed away? The phone call bearing the horrible news is still fresh in my mind, vivid as ever. When I think about that day, it still makes me emotional. When I think about the helluva year that my brother and sister-in-law have been through,…
What a perfect weekend for an outdoor wedding. We were overlooking a golf course and the ocean. I mean honestly, so pretty and perfect for this couple. We had so much fun with family and we were so honored that Stevie was asked to be the ring bearer. You guys will die – or at…
This week I learned that if you put Hot Wheels in the same purse as your Burberry sunglasses, the Hot Wheels will win. Because above mentioned sunglasses got scratched, I decided maybe I should take a break from designer brands and see what good ol’ Target had to offer. I was so excited by their…
It’s no secret that Stevie can be… difficult. And I’m being so very kind when I say this. Yesterday he threw such a tantrum leaving the park, that I literally had to drag him by his arms all the way to the car. And when we got to the car, I was so frustrated, I…
As you may have heard, sunny Southern Cal has been in the middle of a horrible drought. We were finally lucky enough to have water falling from the sky all weekend and the rejoicing commenced. I’ve always loved the rain; it gives the sense of a fresh start. Washes away some of the yuck. And…

Quite an accomplishment. Drinking: almond milk. Reading: books about trucks. Any truck book will do. Wanting: this watch. Looking: forward to…
To put it ever-so gently, this week has kicked my ass. One of those weeks that leaves me wondering how anyone – including myself – ever dared to think I would be cut out for motherhood. A week filled with tantrums, screaming, and spitting from morning until night. A week where my body collapses in…
