I’ve thought about posting this picture for about two months, but I’ve been afraid. I’m not perfect, it’s not perfect, my body isn’t perfect. Being an ‘influencer’ and in the public eye, so to speak, I often think long (and way too hard) about what I’m going to post. I sensor myself to the point of feeling overwhelmed with what… View Post

When I was a kid, my parents took thank you notes very seriously. Every birthday, Christmas, graduation – the very same day I received the gift, I wrote a thank you note. I know that might seem pretty intense, and it was, but I’m so glad they instilled the value of hand written thank you notes in me from a… View Post
We moved to Boston less than a year ago. It’s been a tough adjustment, if I’m honest. But, I’ve quickly learned the best part about living here is the close proximity to historical and unique places, like Newport Rhode Island. We had a rare weekend free (I’ve been traveling to the west coast a ton), so we decided to check… View Post

When I was in California last week, I also learned that one of my IG friends was there too. I’ve been chatting with this blogger babe for a couple years, and we’ve talked about meeting up in the past, but it just never happened. Finally, we were in the same city at the same time, so she suggested we meet… View Post
This post is sponsored by Toyota. All opinions are my own. I’ve been to San Diego more times than I can count. I thought I’d seen everything, but then my friend told me about Chicano Park in San Diego. Seeing all the amazing murals, I couldn’t believe it was a place I’d never seen or heard of. I guess it’s… View Post
Thank you BJ’s Wholesale Club for sponsoring this post. Like a lot of moms, I’m extremely busy. I have two kids under 6, I work full-time as an Assistant Dean at a University, I travel a lot for work, and I also somehow manage to maintain nearly a full-time side-hustle as a blogger, while trying to also fit in family… View Post

Mine was almost always the same. A peanut butter sandwich, some baby carrots and an apple. For my kids, I try to change it up and I regularly try to incorporate new foods… View Post
If you asked me what one of my favorite hobbies is, baking would be at the top of the list. I absolutely love to bake. I find it so therapeutic. I’ve also got a major sweet tooth. If it wasn’t ultra-unhealthy, I’d probably live on desserts (and maybe this pizza). When it comes to BBQs, I always make one of… View Post
This was my first time in Utah, which I found a bit ironic given I lived in Phoenix for 7 years. Nonetheless, I was excited to visit a new state and see some new things. The week before I left for Utah, I asked my IG followers what I should do while I was there. One of my blogger friends,… View Post

You need 20,000 instagram followers to visit this exclusive LA private mural, and I fell for it. I honestly contemplated not even admitting I visited the mural, because it felt just oh so pretentious. Then I decided to turn it into a story. So here it is. My friend sent me a tweet telling me about the private mural, and… View Post

If you would have told me in 2013 that I’d have a five-year-old blog that’s given me a lot of really unique opportunities and also allowed me to earn a supplemental income, I’m not sure I would have been able to envision what that would mean. When I started the blog, I always considered it a business, but most importantly,… View Post
