It took us 3 weeks to find a time when we both were free, the kids had no evening obligations and there were willing babysitters… but we finally got to celebrate our anniversary. #happylucky13 ...

I really want to get back in the habit of posting on here because it is such a good way to have a family scrap book that we can look back on… but I haven’t really done that yet. So I was surp...

#ootd party at the top, casual on the bottom (and a friend to hug). Pretty much my go to outfit at night in college: get half dressed until the decision was made to stay in or go out. https://www...

Happy 196 months of dating… And 13 years of marriage! Four homes, 3 cats, 2 kids and a literal cross the country move later, who would have guessed that a decision to be lazy and skip out on si...

So thankful for Emma’s old preschool! A couple days after I got home from the hospital with a preemie that had lost a scary amount of weight and had to be fed by a syringe around the clock in h...

Life is better when a friend comes to do tummy time with you. In other news, who would have thought it would be the evil cat that would turn out to be a baby whisperer. #carpetstainscourtesyofcra...

Phew! The day I was both dreading and eagerly waiting for has come and gone and Liam’s inguinal hernia has been repaired! 😅 He has to stay overnight at the hospital since he’s under 50 wee...

Emma is notorious for making up stories (like the time her entire preschool class thought we were on our way to Japan for a 1 month vacation… which was news to me!) so when she told me she was ...

My dad half thought I was kidding when I invited him to Emma’s preschool graduation… but the whole thing was certainly no joke…. it was a months in the making program by the students and te...

And with that, Emma’s first hula performance is in the books… and yes, she is the only child that waved… 🤦‍♀️🤣🤷‍♀️ (at Royal Hawaiian Center)

If you are applying for a job in Hawaii, do not have the background of your resume be a big script font that reads “Aloha!”… in pink font no less. I felt I was in Legally Blond with Elle ...

It was a rough morning for Emma as she had to decide which princess she wanted to be for Prince and Princess day at school today before finally settling on the one that came with a musical instru...

I’ve wondered from time to time what to do with this space, because I love being able to look back on my time on the East Coast, young, no kids, living up the newly(ish) married life with Ryan ...

That kid, man… most of the time drives me crazy but then does something out of the blue like this morning when she asked me to send a letter to the North Pole. I rolled my eyes thinking it was ...

The life of a working mom: dropped off Emma at her extracurricular activity, walked two blocks to pick up food for dinner for the whole family, and spent the rest of my wait time reading the abov...

On how I’m a horrible, lazy and inattentive parent. Emma is afraid of EVERYTHING. I’d like to say I don’t know where she gets it from but I think I was way worse when I was her age. Takin...
