How To Do Disneyland With Small Kids

This week I tried to be an epic “cool mom” and surprised my boys with a day at Disneyland. My oldest Waylon is in his last week of school so I figured not much learning is really going on so why not play hooky and do a day at Disney? Have I mentioned before that […]

Seasons and Summer Ending

I went to bed last night feeling all sorts of emotions and they all came out today in the car while driving the coast and belting out “I am Moana” with my kids. The lightbulb went off and I realized that every time a season ends my heart feels heavy and I have to process […]

The Holidays Camp Community

Some friends of mine had the genius idea to restore 3 vintage “Shasta” trailers and create a camp community in San Clemente, Ca. I can’t say enough of how great this little camping community is. Who doesn’t want to stay in a beautifully preserved time machine and feel totally connected to our parents and grandparent’s generation?! […]
