This past weekend Justin, Mason and I went to the Color Factory in San Francisco. I had been wanting to go for so long but kept being unable to purchase tickets before they sold out. So when they opened up tickets for March and April I knew I had to be on my A game and get tickets before they sold out again. I was excited to bring Mason along as I knew he would enjoy the interactive aspects of the Color Factory as well as all the colors! I didn't get to bring Mason with me when I went to the Museum of Ice Cream and I saw how kid ... Read more...
Life + a $500 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway
I know today is Wednesday and you're all expecting my latest Label for Less post. But can I just say that life has gotten in the way. I was down in LA for the Create & Cultivate conference last Friday through Sunday and Monday I was playing MAJOR catchup only to get a bug of some kind. Mason sadly has been effected as well so it's been a challenge. Yesterday I ended up driving back to Santa Cruz so that my in-laws could watch Mason so that I could get some rest.

Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit + The Perfect Mini V-Day Staycation
If you're like me then on Valentine's Day you will be at home with the baby and hubby. There's still no reason why you can't be in the V-Day spirit with a casual Valentine's Day outfit. When I'm lounging at home or out running errands I like to be comfortable. These high waist jeans from Paige are so comfortable. I have them in denim with an undone hemline and these beauties in red. This cozy sweater is only $39. I absolutely love how soft it is and the double-v detail is really cute. It's see-through because of the loose knit and ... Read more...
Creating Family Holiday Traditions
Justin and I are so excited to be creating family holiday traditions as parents. We have our family traditions that we have been doing since we started dating; Christmas morning breakfast with his parents. But as far as ourselves and our growing little family, we don't have any holiday traditions yet. Since last year Mason was just a few months old. So this year, we are starting to create our family holiday traditions! First Family Holiday Tradition: Matching Christmas Jammies. I've seen other families do this ... Read more...
