If you’re anything like me, by now you are feelin’ ready for cool weather and cozy sweaters and warm drinks all day and into the night. I mean, I really shouldn’t complain because our summer was relatively mild, but I’m going to anyway. Because its FALL and I’m sweaty all the time OK. And getting…

Stevie Update
Over the last year, words have not come easily for me when I think about Stevie. I sit with my hands on the keyboard, ready to unleash some truth on y’all and instead, I run into a full mental block. I want to tell you about his successes. And I want to tell you about…
5 Ways to Style a Long Denim Skirt
A couple weeks ago, I brought my denim skirt out of hiding. I have very, very mixed feelings about it. Because when I tried it on in the thrift store, it felt really nostalgic and cute. Then I searched outfit ideas on Pinterest, and I was like oh yeah! I can definitely rock these looks.…
Taking Stock: Fall 2017
This rainy Thursday just has me feeling alll the Fall moods. Even though it will be 90 degrees in a few days from now, and our afternoon will be kinda hectic, I’m just going to take full advantage of this morning, sitting and drinking coffee while I write up an easy little something. I like…
Fall Goals
This past weekend Paul and I casually brought up the holidays and discussed whether or not we’d be hosting any parties this year. Which lead me to realize exactly what the date is. Gulp. I checked and double checked the calendar to make sure. But… Yep. We are less than 14 weeks away from Christmas.…
Fall Capsule Wardrobe... (?)
The other night (I can’t believe I’m admitting this to you guys) I went into my Instagram feed and started shame-scrolling through all my old posts, finding things about myself that I hated. Your style is not that great. Your hair looked better before. Your legs look so chunky in that one. Sloppy. Lame. Your…
Summer 2017 Video!
I got on a roll editing this week! Go me! Often times I use my big camera with big plans and big intentions to put together the cutest videos, but it’s a really easy thing to put aside for later. And later. And later. So they rarely never happen. And while one of my summer…
Ventura County Fair 2017
I have taken Stevie to the Ventura County Fair every summer since he was born. It’s honestly never been that much fun. I force it on him for tradition’s sake. BUT, I am getting a little wiser in my old age and went with friends this time! It made all the difference. Stevie had someone…
Museum Day in Santa Barbara
Stevie has sort of a reputation with museums. They sound so good and fun in theory, but usually end up in an embarrassing disaster. By the time Stevie was 5, we’d been to almost every museum in Los Angeles (and dragged out of almost every museum in Los Angeles). And it was about that same…
