It's hot and sweaty out there but don't let that stop you from firing up your grill! I have a new summer grilling feast recipe for you today courtesy of my ongoing partnership with ALDI, and it's a delicious one - and easy, too, as always. A month or so ago I wrote about how Matt likes to make veggies on the grill in foil packets; Continue Reading …

Hi from beautiful Monterey, California! As I mentioned in my last blog post, I'm out here for a press trip that starts today, but I came early to see my grad school friend Lauren! She lives in San Diego and drove up to spend a whirlwind 24 hours with me before needing to get home for work. So wonderful to catch up with her - it had been Continue Reading …
Working Day in the Life: 21 Months Old

Hi friends! It has been ages since I did a day in the life post - especially a day in the life post on one of my work days vs. mom life days! We have childcare twice a week - on Mondays from 10 to 4 and Wednesdays from 10 to 6. I can get a little work done on my mom days during naptime as well, but Mondays and Wednesdays are my days to get more Continue Reading …

Ah, the dog days of summer - the time of year when the humidity feels like it will last forever and you have to wait until 9 p.m. to go outside unless you want to sweat buckets. In other words, perfect weather for frozen, hydrating treats, like this Watermelon Mojito Sorbet - rum optional. ;) Thank you to my friends at The Watermelon Continue Reading …

Hi friends! Another Monday already?! This weekend went by way too quickly as they always do. We had a mostly fun one - lots of adventures and outings, although we've been dealing with some toddler attitude lately that is a bit tough (more on that at the end of the post... related to the second part of the blog post title)! First up on Continue Reading …

Hey guys! I kicked off my Friday with an early run date with my buddy Chelsea. :) One of the super sad things about moving is that I'm no longer a few blocks away from Chelsea, who has been my weekly workout class buddy for ages. We've been going to one or two classes per week together for... 6 or 7 years now!? She's the best - always Continue Reading …

Every morning on weekdays, Riese and I have our little routine. We have breakfast, hang out around the house, and then get ready and take Freyja (the dog) for a walk before heading off to a playground or a baby gymnastics class or a playdate - or before our sitter arrives on Mondays and Wednesdays so I can crush some work. Since we've been in Continue Reading …

Hey friends! Matt, Riese, Freyja, Zara, and I enjoyed our first full weekend in our new home! We did a fair amount of eating out because there are so many great places walking distance to us now, which we love. First up: burgers on Friday night at Holy Cow. Plus truffle fries + sweet potato waffle fries shared with Continue Reading …
