Moving Back to California
After nearly a decade in the Washington D.C. area, D and I picked up our lives and moved back to California in November 2017. You’re probably wondering why such a late update!?

We Moved!!!
Yes, we moved… Again!!! Haha. Ya’ll remember me griping about how much I hate moving from last year, right? Yeah, well we went through the pain and agony of moving again this year AND, at the time, I was 28 weeks pregnant. We’re crazy. So where did we move to, you might ask? We decided…

D.C. Favorites

Mom’s Visit to the District
My mom recently visited me for two weeks in May. I know, some folks think two weeks is a really, really, long time. But it went by like a flash and we had fun sightseeing and eating. Parents have that weird sixth sense that some thing’s not right with their child. Whether it’s knowing that…
