for christmas we gifted our parents a photo sessio for christmas we gifted our parents a photo session with @theyears_studio and we finally took the photos on my moms amazing patio, this is where i lived when i first moved here. so many memories made there 😭 so so glad we did these photos before we left, and also, izzy’s pirate face? lol

highly recommend booking grandparent sessions for any occasion 🥹
some snippets of a very chaotic and sweet last few some snippets of a very chaotic and sweet last few weeks of life here! 

highlights include seeing weird al’s star,  @thenewdealrestaurant green goddess salad with salmon i will miss dearly, our super special going away party, a day at the la county fair, izzy loving her cousin so so much 😭 and just soaking up last few moments with all my people!
an oscar the grouch themed birthday party — aka an oscar the grouch themed birthday party — aka the most sustainable party theme of all time 😆 i literally just decorated with our garbage! 

had way too much fun doing the food signs like “pizza we found in the trash with marshmallow sauce”, “ranch dressing from 1972”, “lemonade with pink anchovy essence” etc lol

seriously of all the parties i’ve thrown this had to be my favorite theme because it was just so liberating and so weird — and finally i could display my cardboard collection proudly versus being ashamed of it haha

going to miss my little dream kitchen! over the going to miss my little dream kitchen! 

over the years it went from dark and ugly to clean and modern to warm and cozy, i’m so happy with the little recent updates i did with things from @rejuvenation, we used the most stunning massey brass pulls, added cafe curtains and the brookside rail system above the stove and it made our kitchen finally feel like a grownup!! 

also side note, i’m reaaally gonna miss opening the drawers with my toes! 😭

if you want the links sent to your DMs, just comment “want”

MAY! soaking up all the family time and all the su MAY! soaking up all the family time and all the sushi 🥹 an arlo homemade spa for mother’s day, one last day at disneyland, a weekend in ojai where i rode a horse for the first time ever, showing the kids one of my top 5 movies of all time, appreciating the beauty of gigis patio, and appreciating the beauty of watching a water balloon explode on poppy.
also got myself the cutest reddest little dress, because the beige mom inside me is evolving into a muted rainbow mom!!!!
POKÉMOM OF THE YEAR! 💁‍♀️ for arlos birt POKÉMOM OF THE YEAR! 💁‍♀️ for arlos birthday we made these custom pokémon cards to give out as party favors — he got one at his friends bday and has cherished it since. 

we are especially proud of the 8 year old arlo evolving from 7 year old arlo 😆 tickles me!

here’s how we did it :

we used a generator (pokemoncardmaker.net) to make the actual card, and i used chatgpt to make the illustrations of him, sent the files to a local printer for double sided cards AND they used GOLD INK and only charged $1 per card!!!! just got the back of the card off google images.

we asked him what his dream moves would be or whatever (we messed them up and this apparently is an unusable card but it doesn’t matter because he doesn’t actually play the game lol)
