Home & Love
I took a short and impromptu trip to the Bay Area to my parent’s house, the home I grew up in. My grandmother had just been put on hospice and I knew it was time to come home and introduce her to my new son Zeke. It was a weekend filled with family and lots of […]

Solly Style: 6 Weeks of Zeke
My baby is almost 6 weeks old…does it make sense to say that time is flying by but also staying still at the same time? There are days we go no where and days we accomplish much. I’ve had to reprioritize and adjust the expectations I have of myself, cause it’s just not that easy […]
Mama + Child: Costume Fun With Pottery Barn
A couple weeks ago I packed up my 2 week old, wrapped him to my chest and snapped some super cute photos of these beautiful mama + child duos for Pottery Barn Kids. Cassidy June did an amazing job styling this shoot for Pottery Barn Kids accompanied by the talented and beautiful blogging mamas Lauren Isobel, […]
Fit Mama: 4 Weeks Postpartum
It’s been 4 weeks and 3 days since I gave birth to Ezekiel and I’m feeling pretty great. I haven’t been cleared yet from my doctor to exercise but I wanted to do what I know my body is capable of and start getting back into shape. I am so excited to be able to run […]
Solly Style // 3 Weeks of Zeke
It already been 3 weeks since Ezekiel joined our family. Maybe it’s the days running into nights and the whole not sleeping thing, but time is passing a lot faster with my second child. Zeke has awoken from his newborn slumber and usually wants to be held all day. This makes it a lot harder […]

Mamaglo: Nursing Mama
I have to admit, I was so prepared for baby this time (i.e. had all the gear and hospital bag packed way far in advanced) but not so prepared for after birth. I forgot how difficult it can be to dress postpartum and ended up tearing apart my closet looking for nursing friendly outfits. This […]
Hope For Mental Health
Life is hard at times but for those that struggle with mental illness life can be unmanageable. In the past I’ve had my own struggles with depression, anxiety and most recently, panic attacks. As a therapist, friend, and follower of Christ I feel it’s a calling to be transparent and offer whatever hope I can to […]
Family of Four: Orbit Baby Outing
Last Saturday was our first official outing as a family of four. Although all of San Diego was melting in a heatwave, we took our new Orbit G3 stroller with it’s side kick board out for a spin. I can’t sing this carseat + stroller system enough praises. It’s so easy to put baby Zeke into and […]
