Dearest loved ones, Please join us in honoring Tahnee on Monday June 12th. This uplifting event will be held at a private estate in Malibu where we will celebrate Tahnee’s life and her inspirational spirit. Due to the uniqueness and location of the property in combination with the amount of people we anticipate to be joining, we will be […]

Every year around this time, I see photos pop up on my Facebook feed of people frolicking in fields of budding flowers and every year I swear I’m going to plan a day trip to do the very same. Not only is it an inexpensive way to spend quality time with the family in a gorgeous outdoor setting but […]

I often strive to be a better mom and sometimes when I have the patience, I attempt to be a better human. I try to find balance in a life that seems to have very little and I aim to be tolerant when my will has broken into millions of pieces and the only thing keeping […]

On the eve of my 3 year wedding anniversary, I wrote an article on my blog detailing my thoughts on marriage thus far. It occurred to me that others might find it useful and that it would be a good fit for the “marriage” section of Huffington Post. Only there isn’t a section for marriage on Huff Post. […]

Today marks my 3 year wedding anniversary and I’m feeling a bit conflicted. Marriage just isn’t quite what I thought it would be but then again I’m not sure I knew what to expect. All I know is that I’ve come to understand that it’s hard – really hard sometimes – to make two lives coexist in […]

People say it like it’s a bad thing, to lose oneself. I don’t see it as such. What does it mean anyway, to be lost? Obliviously there are both literal and philosophical interpretations.

If you were around in the 80s, you may remember the anti-narcotics commercial from the PDFA (Partnership for a Drug Free America) that was famous for coining the term, “This is Your Brain on Drugs”. The popular advertisement showed an […]

To the adorable couple we met at the water park a few weeks back with whom we forgot to exchange numbers, my husband and I mourn the loss of a friendship with you that we never had.  It isn’t every day that you meet your family’s soul family, which is exactly what you were, and we are deeply afraid that we’ve […]

You may know by now that I have an extreme love-hate relationship with Saturday and Sunday and last weekend proved no different. From Legoland to Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, we embarked on an impromptu road trip full of fun, whining, laughter, napless tantrums and lots of driving. + Now that Wes is older and interacting with his surroundings in […]

Ah, yes. The back to school frenzy. Worse than Christmas or Hanukkah but better than living out one more day of trying to entertain the kids over summer vacation. Luckily I don’t have to endure the madness known as Back to School, yet. Weston is still too young. For now, I get to surf the web […]
