    THE STUFF

    one : this laquer wine rack from west elm looks super clean and modern and holds just enough bottles / two : heavily craving some nemadji pottery like this vase from 86home / three : i love the lines and leather on this magazine rack from clayton gray / four : planning on getting this adorable celestial nightlight for the litterbox (the kitties are afraid of the dark. yes. i’m serious.) / five : most likely, i’d wear this open front southwestern cardigan from forever 21 every day / six : obsessed with this converge brass votives by dwell from clayton gray. they are just too attractive.

    plans for the new year

    i’m just now getting back into the swing of things after leaving town and the holidays. now it’s time to keep my resolutions.

    THE PLAN

    be stricter with myself about tasks and the blog
    be less irritable
    stop being lazy
    stop being flakey
    spend less money on bs
    pay bills on time (off to a bad start)
    eat less junk
    be clean
    be organized
    be fucking pleasant

    THE STUFF

    stay organized: kate spade tudor city debra planner / this stuff does wonders overnight on a zit, but i’m always meaning to take 10 mins to do a mask. i never do. ever. take care of skin: kiehl’s deep pore cleansing mask / i wear nude flats like a cartoon character is always in the same thing. need to start getting a new pair sooner and letting go of a pair when they’re clearly not ok to wear anymore. these are cute and super cheap. breckelle’s casual flats / send thank you cards. thank people. be sweet. twine thank you cards from minted / i am going to buy a plant this year and i am going to water the damn thing, and it is going to live. this is the year. home depot ficus bush / i am going to challenge myself more with cooking. the family meal cookbook / i am going to only hang art that is special to us. vogue july 1948 print from art.com / i am going to smell good. stella eau de parfum

     

  • holiday, yada yada

    merry xmas!


    Hope you have fun and stay warm and eat lots and open fun stuff and love your family and all that stuff. I am going on a road trip up the coast with my family…

    Yes. Really.

    We’re going to Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Napa, Sausalito, SF, and Sacramento for a Celtics Game. I’ll be back after the new year!

    AND I’ll be instagramming!

today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’ today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’s all gone, arlo has always been the funniest, coolest and most passionate kid of all time. 

a little walk down memory lane with some favorite arlo memories — purple guy, sand eater, chronic tripper, the most loving little dude. 

may you see all the sharks eating people, collect all the rare pokémon cards and eat all the orange pasta and soup dumplings your heart desires in life!!!!

greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe we’ve officially left los angeles for the connecticut shoreline WHAT IN THE WORLD???

i’ll do a more in depth tour soon, but for now, this is it!!! she needs a looootta tlc but such good bones and a freaking killer view too. my literal life goal has been a gorgeous view to look at every morning and every sunset and i cannot believe this is real life 😭 

so grateful. so excited. soooo nervous to live in an old house. 

oh and yes for those worried about the children with the water yes me too— we got a latch for the top of the back door so they can’t go out without us and izzy starts swim lessons next week!? the previous owners had young kids too so i think we can live here safely! we also have a huge flat fully fenced in front yard they can play in safely!

need a name for the house!! it’s blue and it’s on a river… !? would love your suggestions!
the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arl the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arlo home here, we crafted our way through the pandemic here, we mourned our pregnancy losses in bed, we finally got to bring our rainbow baby home here, threw so many incredible birthday parties, so many beautiful dinners in the backyard, so many sweet christmas mornings, so many hours of mamma mia. it’s hard not to be sad while i’m also so excited, we made millions of incredible memories here.

arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER i was totally chilled on the execution. i had no energy or bandwidth to go ham like usual and honestly?? it was the most i’ve enjoyed a kids party i’ve ever thrown! 😭

arlo also helped so much, he setup the tables, he filled the goodie bags, he made the pokeball snack board! we stuck pokémon stickers on all the cups and goody bags and called it a day! 

and i outsourced the rest! insane (raspberry donut flavored) cake by @_midnight_sugar_, cookies by @fandjconfections and pokemon pizzas from @amecipizzakitchen !! 

his birthday isn’t for another week and a half but i’m soooo glad he got to spend such a sweet day with his buds before we leave 😭

no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i kn no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i know being a daddy is your favorite thing in the whole world and you’re incredibly good at it too (just like everything else) thanks for carrying everything, reaching everything up high, always driving, and always putting us first 

happy father’s day @gideonboomer ❤️ we love you!!!!!! only you could look slightly cool wearing an umbrella hat 

and happy father’s day to poppy @jmmadfis, always there for us, willing to do almost anything to make us laugh and always up for a game of uno no matter where we are
our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart so it was time for a little upgrade, an expandable outdoor table and uv/weather resistant chairs from @allmodern! i got extra chairs for company and i love that i can stack them when we’re not using them. also the new outdoor dishware i’m obsessed with— non-breakable and made from plant-based material (but luckily also microwave and dishwasher safe!!)

bringing all of this on the moving truck, but before we do, it felt so sweet to do a little dinner out here for the first time in months and have a tiny send off to our LA backyard!! 

i used fresh lavender and olive branches that we grew and the birds were so loud, i’m probably going to miss it here a little. 

if you want the links for anything sent straight to your DMs, comment WANT 

https://liketk.it/5g89g

and it’s totally not too late if your backyard needs a little zshushing for summer because @allmodern has fast + free shipping tooooo!
