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

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