Its Been a While: Insta-Reply

Hope you had a great weekend.  As I mentioned Friday, my post-college roommate and her husband and son were in town from New Jersey, their first visit and her first time back to Cali in 10 years.  It was indeed like no time had passed, except that we both have husbands and toddlers now.  We couldn't have ordered nicer weather, and we spend Saturday morning in Santa Monica at the pier, and Sunday morning at a local park.  The boys had fun together, and it was great being able to catch up

Off-Shoulder Top and Cut-Out Booties

A Casual Day Look

I do sometimes wish I lived a life that required me to dress up more on a daily basis (and I don't mean "nice" office attire, I mean fashionable dresses and ensembles.) I mean, for example, I have to remind myself that there's things about Princess Kate's life that I probably would not enjoy compared to my existence (there are things, aren't there? I hear the constant media attention and scrutiny gets old...but they seem to have a pretty good privacy balance lately....I dunno, with all the perks, um, I think I could deal, right? LOL)

Friday Favorites: Spring Bags Under $100

Friday Favorites: Spring Bags Under $100

Despite the fact that some April showers have descended upon us this week, I'm still in the process of transitioning my closet from winter to spring.  Although I did see an image on Facebook the other day that made me laugh, with the caption: "We're experiencing a new season: 'Sprinter.'  Winter weather in spring."  Though I won't wear a tank top if it's only 50 degrees outside, I will still go by the calendar and lighten my wardrobe and accessories.  Here I've rounded up some of my favorite bags for spring, all under $100.

The Perfect Weekend Combo

This is a sponsored post - all opinions are my own.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.  My husband worked both days, so it was mostly me and my little guy for the bulk of it, which is great, because he's one of my favorite people to spend time with. :)  It's not news to any other mother when I say that becoming a mom has been the most amazing yet hardest thing I have ever done.   My little guy is now 2 and some months, and every day there is a new wonder and accomplishment.  His sentences are getting longer, his comprehension more elaborate, his emotions and thoughts more complex.  He challenges me to be a better person because kids learn the best by example, and so I'm trying to behave (at least around him ;) ) like the person I want him to be.

Friday Favorites - Spring Sandals

Friday Favorites - Spring Sandals

Last year we were attending a friend's 30th birthday party at a trampoline park (yes, you read that right: 30th birthday at a trampoline park. SMH)  In addition to the trampoline dodge ball courts they had (on which we competed without much incident), they had assorted other activities, like jumping off a trampoline with a basketball to make a slam dunk and fall in a foam pit, and a Tarzan rope you could jump off an elevated block and swing out into a foam pit and fall.
