California Coast – Family Outing
My husband and I do not consider ourselves beach people. Although we lived in Santa Barbara a block away from the beach, we rarely visited. But it looks like it's time for that to change.

I promise to never take sunny days… Continue reading Sunshine After the Rain

The trees we planted in February seem to… Continue reading March Recap

I went to sleep at 10pm. At 11:30pm, my son woke up. I know this song and dance well by now so I… Continue reading Early Mornings with a Toddler
