I was going through some old blog posts from my previous mommy blog and found my 40 before 40 list. I was pleasantly surprised that I had done some things on that list. Still, I was a little frustrated though that A LOT of those things weren’t close to being checked off. Did I mention […] Read more…
From LA to OC: Let’s Eat at the Wall
While I’m navigating my way through Orange County, I’m making all kinds of discoveries. Yes, there are the animals and the heat that I talked about before but this time – I’m talking food, y’all. When we first moved in over the summer, I was hitting up meal delivery apps because sometimes it was easier. […] Read more…
You need a break. Here’s how I know.
Social media is a blessing until it isn’t. It’s a great way to connect with people that you haven’t talked to in years. I’ve reconnected with friends from high school and college through Facebook. A few weeks ago, I got together with a friend from elementary school. It wouldn’t have happened if not for social […] Read more…
On Oprah + Taking Chances #OMagInsiders
Slowly – that’s how I had been putting myself out there. I’ve been easing my way back into the online world over the last several months. I have been putting my name in the hat for opportunities here and there and not putting too much pressure on myself when it came to the outcome. That’s […] Read more…
LA to OC: Finding gratitude with change
I might be going out on a limb here, but I’m gonna say that this is probably a sign that we should go the minimalist route. There are still boxes in our garage. I’m not sure we even need those things since we’ve been living without them since we moved in June. I guess moving […] Read more…

How I followed my dreams to Hollywood
Recently I was talking to a friend about my journey. We’ve known each other for years but it hadn’t occurred to me that she didn’t know this huge part of who I am. See, 15 years ago I moved to Los Angeles. I left my job in Ohio, where I had gone to college, and […] Read more…
Wash Day Must Have? We found it!
Truth be told, I think most moms want a little girl. I am no different. With my first pregnancy, I didn’t know what I was having. I didn’t want to know. Still, in my gut, I know I was having a boy and man I loved him instantly. I used to get offended when people […] Read more…
I don’t have it all figured out – And that’s OK.
Where do you stand with things? You know, life stuff. Do you feel like you have it all figured out? Let me let you in on a secret – I don’t. It’s not just me either. I was having dinner with a friend the other weekend. As we talked, we both shared that we felt […] Read more…
How to Be Happy
How many times have you heard that “happiness is a choice”? I’ve heard it over and over again. Shoot, I say it all the time. Knowing that it’s our choice to be happy and that it doesn’t depend on other people is a big deal. So many people seem to make their happiness other peoples […] Read more…
