Snow Days
Last weekend, we packed up our skis and headed to Tahoe for our second trip of the year. Unlike the first time back in February where we were met with epic snow storms and epic traffic, this past weekend was filled with glorious sunshine and we stayed through Monday to avoid the crowds. We had …
Tokyo
My third time in Tokyo and though there is finally a sense of familiarity it doesn't lessen the joy that bubbles up in my heart whenever I set foot in this city. It must be the anticipation for uncovering new secrets of this layered city, eating the best meals of our lives every single day, …
London and Tips
E: Mama, what do they speak in London?Me: They speak English, just with an accent. Like we say tomato and they say to-mah-to.E: And they say spaghetti and we say NOOOODLESSSS!M: Erm....right Traveling with one toddler can already have me questioning my sanity sometimes, but deciding to go on a trip with three other moms …
Bear Valley
Right before school started, we escaped to the Sierras to savor the last carefree days of summer. Ellie is in that weird in-between stage where she is almost too big and heavy to be carried in the hiking backpack yet too little to walk many miles by herself. The longest she's hiked on her own …
Ellie Turns 3
Three. Three wonderful, tough, wouldn't-trade-it-for-anything years with our little beam of sunshine. A 3-year-old seems so little and big to me at the same time. I think the thing has really pushed me to accept that our baby is no longer a baby is her own independence. Every morning she picks out her own clothes, …
LA Vlog
We took a quick trip back to LA in July where we spent lots of time at the pool and beach, harvesting vegetables from my mom's garden, and eating delicious home cooked meals or sampling some amazing new restaurants. It was also our first time checking out the Hammer Museum.
The PCT
This year the snow made our trip to the Sierras both challenging and fun. We got to go sledding and have snow ball fights, but the deep snow made following the trail difficult. We had to do some tracking using the GPS on our phone and had to backtrack often, soaking our socks and pants …
Yelapa, Mexico
We spent a week in Yelapa, a small town in Mexico that's only accessible by boat or mule. We thought we were picking the faster option by taking the water taxi, but our boat ended up breaking down four times (on both motors!) during the 30 minute ride from Puerto Vallarta. There were like 3 …
First Ski Trip + Vlog
This was not Ellie's first trip to Lake Tahoe. Almost exactly two years ago when she was just 6 months old, we took her snowshoeing around the lake with my mom. We threw snowballs, we made snow angels. She was not impressed. Since then, and especially since last Christmas, the fantasy of snow has been …
