I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas….

    Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! We flew out to Utah yesterday and are spending the week here for Christmas with my inlaws.  Flying into the airport was like a dream: thick white flakes streaking past the plane windows, the ground below us covered in snow.  We stepped…

A Day At The Park and Layers

  We took Little C to the park with some of our friends, and she had such a great time. She loves getting dirty and playing in the sand, slipping down the slides, swinging in the swings, and of course playing with the various puppies.  I made (what I think)…

High Intensity Training At Home

I understand that not everyone has the time to get to the gym, or even the access to one. So, I decided to create a high-intensity program that you can do at home (which means no more excuses, right?).  This program can easily be modified for any fitness level, and…

Loving Your Body and Yourself: The Journey to Acceptance

  We are all our harshest critics.  We see the “flaws”, the dimples and pockmarks and scars that no one else does.  We fixate on our perceived imperfections-the cellulite or the stretch-marks.  What if, just for one day, we focused on loving ourselves instead? What sort of a change do…

Santa Baby: Meeting the Man in Red

Little C has been waiting ever so patiently to meet Santa, and over the weekend she got her wish.  The place we live is amazing, and they bring in a Santa every year to the clubhouse for all of the kids. I was worried Little C might be scared or…

(Family) Date Night

Everyone needs a date night-and in our family, date night doesn’t often mean Big C and I going out just the two of us. Both of our families live far away, and with baby sitters hard to find out here, our date nights usually involve all three of us.  Date…

Ratatouille: Eggplant & Goat Cheese

It has been unseasonably cold here in LA (I know, I shouldn’t complain the majority of the country is well-below freezing) but the weather has been making me crave warm, hearty food, so I threw together this awesome ratatouille/pasta sauce/ragout/ whatever you want to call it.  To my busy moms…

Leopard Coats & Christmas at The Grove

  Over the weekend we took Little C to The Grove to look at the lights and see the huge Santa’s House display.  She loved seeing the musicians dressed up like toy soldiers, watching the fountains, and peeking into Santa’s house. I’m so excited for Christmas with her this year,…
