6 Ways to Wear A Peasant Skirt This Summer

My first thought when I saw this peasant skirt at Target was : “wow this is so cute, I could wear it so many different ways!” My second thought was: “Does it really matter? Is this really what I should be focused on and or share with others”. Then I remembered the word I kept […]

7 Looks For New Years Eve

I can’t remember the last time I went “out” on New Years Eve… probably 2010 the year Sam and I got married. We celebrate the new year by pretending it’s midnight, kissing and going to bed by 10:00pm cause #kids. One of my favorite things to do with our kids is give them sparklers and […]

The Tired Mom’s Kit

Ideas sometimes come to me at odd times…. like after a night of wrestling with my 13 month old baby. Yeah I said it, I was WRESTLING her at intermittent times throughout the night; soothing her with my worn out  nipples and then unsuccessfully unlatching them from her tiny mouth only to start the cycle […]

Madewell vs. Target Try On

It’s  time for another #LEGITMOMTRYON! I was in one of my favorite stores: MADEWELL with all 3 of my children, AHHHHHHH! I wanted to casually stroll through the store and see what was new, but alas 3 children do not really go hand in hand with perusing. Then I was struck with a fun a […]

What I’m packing for our summer vacation

We’re leaving today on a road trip up the coast of California ending in Monterey and then headed to my family’s beach house in Santa Cruz. We’ll be staying at a couple of Marriotts along the way and adventuring which will break up the drive and make it more fun for our kids. I hate […]

The best things to do in North County San Diego

If you’ve ever watched my stories on Instagram than you probably know me as the mom who is always out and about. We are frequently on the go because my boys loves to be out and they’re a little less crazy when we aren’t at the house… so it’s a little out of necessity that […]

A new look with Coast To Coast

About a month ago I did something I had put off for wayyyy to long…changing the look of my blog and brand. Brand, that sounds so funny to say since so much of what I write about is my family and the things I learn and love. I typed “brand” into my browser to see what Google […]

LOVEMEBRIGHT

A friend of mine thought I’d like this new shop and she was right. It’s designs are filled with such positive messages and good ‘ol plain fun. LOVEMEBRIGHT’S movement is about showing the world how you love, in return making it a brighter place. Randomly they sell items in the shop that 100% of the profit will be given […]

It’s safe to say that social media has infiltrated almost everyone’s life these days. Yes, there is a down side to social media and it’s also true that it can add to our insecurities, but if we just look at the negative we’re missing the point of how it brings us together as humans and opens […]
