The Grunge Continues

  \\\\ I realize that I talk about the weather here a lot…but I can’t help it. It just makes NO sense. A few weeks ago it was in the eighties, THE EIGHTIES. So when we ventured out to the zoo under slightly cloudy skies, I figured, “no way is…

A Day at the Zoo

Little C has always loved reading books about animals (one of her favorites is ‘Good Night Gorilla’), so when we told her we were going to see monkeys, zebras, and giraffes up close  at the zoo she was SO excited.  Considering that Big C and I have lived in Los…

Baby Swag: Decking out the Babes

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I have been dying over all of the adorable baby swag.  One of the joys of having a little person is getting to dress them up in all sorts of awesome gear-and below is a lookbook of my favorite pieces inspired by the…

Tyrannosaurus C and the Albuterol

As you all know, we have been sick…constantly. Like 3 months straight of coughs and snotty noses and humidifiers and jumbo-sized packs of Kleenex. FOR REALS.  So poor Little C developed this nasty rumbly cough during her bout with the most current bug, and on Friday we decided it was…

Dressing Your Dude

Let me formally introduce you to the hubs, better known as Big C.  This is my other (and often better) half, and when I first met him he had a shaved head, wore baggy jeans, XL Hanes crew neck tees, massive hoodies, and Nikes.  Not that there is anything wrong…

Avocado Pomegranate Salsa

Talk about a superfood combo-pomegranates and avocados both boast tons of amazing health benefits (think tons of vitamins, antioxidants, aid in healthy cholesterol levels and lower bad cholesterol, packed with vitamins, and anti-cancer properties) and when my mother-in-law introduced me to this recipe it was literally one of the best…

Lyfe Kitchen

Although I love cooking at home, I really enjoy going out together as a family on the weekends.  I am always on the lookout for farm-to-table spots that are eco-conscious and boast sustainable, locally grown ingredients, and Lyfe Kitchen in downtown Culver City is one such gem.  With various locations in…

Lessons in Letting Go & Being Present

You know what I did the other night, as I drove home from work? I left the day behind. I shed it slowly on the drive home…I left pieces of it scattered on Ocean Park Blvd., strewn across the ever-crowded 405, fragments on the side of the 90.  It wasn’t…

Wishing for Winter

While the majority of the nation is wrapped in the grips of a downright nasty winter storm, Southern California is boasting temps in the 80’s. THE 80’s! How is that even possible? It’s January. I am NOT ready for skirts and shorts and tanks-I want to wear my cozy chunky…
