When Elena Zhukova asked if she could photograph Frida and me, I was so excited. I had connected with her as a fellow Pacifican on Facebook and admired her photography from afar. Her work is so good and so creative. I carefully chose outfits for us, and unsurprisingly Frida refused to wear any of them. […]
Why I Went Public With My Infidelity Story
It’s one thing to sit in a soundproof room with a friend and your husband and discuss the deep dark secrets of your marriage. It’s whole ‘nother thing when your friends and family listen in on that conversation.
The Story Is Always Changing
I’ve imagined a glamorous foggy beach photo shoot ever since I moved to the coast. I had this story in mind: A mother and daughter are on their way to a formal wedding. They stop at the beach to run around and let the little girl get some energy out en route from the church […]
Horsey Living Room Refresh With Minted
Until recently, I’d had the same Marimekko fabric print hanging above our couch for, oh, a dozen years? I rather liked it and was proud to have kind of DIY’d it—as in I bought the fabric and the assembly-required frame and put it all together. That’s pretty much the extent of my DIY abilities. And […]
The Beauty of Brunch Without Stressing Over the Menu
Photos by Sofala Knapton I love clothes, accessories, shoes, jewelry. I love acquiring new versions of all of the above. But I would trade new things any day for an amazing experience. A catered brunch with my closest friends like the one IfOnly hosted for us this past weekend is the perfect example. Actually enjoying time with friends […]
All I Need Is Denim, Flowers and Family. And This Necklace. And This Ring.
We just got back from a long weekend in Orange County for a basketball tournament and to visit my in-laws. We don’t do much while we’re there except hang out in the garden and swim, which is fine by me. My MIL is an amazing cook, has quite the green thumb, and is wonderful with Frida, so […]
I Can’t Believe I Didn’t Drink Last Night
As I mentioned last week, I’ve been doing the Hormone Reset 21-day detox diet. It has marked a few firsts for me. 1. I’m 98 percent sure it’s the first time in my life when I didn’t eat some type of refined carb for breakfast. 2. Also pretty sure it’s the first time in my […]
My First Day on the Hormone Reset Diet Was a Disaster
The Hormone Reset diet was created by Dr. Sara Gottfried, and it focuses on progressively eliminating foods from your diet that might be elevating certain hormones and causing you to hang onto stubborn fat, even when you’re eating less. Well, I was eating less and counting every calorie, but GAINING weight—it seemed like a pound a […]
Goodwill Hunting and Humiliation
On Fridays, I have Frida. The big event of the day is gymnastics in Moss Beach at 11am. The drive down Route 1 is gorgeous and makes me love my life. (During gymnastics is a different story, but we get through it.) On the way home, we pass by Table Wine, an awesome Pacifica wine […]
So Here I Am Wearing a Swimsuit on Social Media
When I got the email that Target was looking for bloggers to pose in their swimsuits on Instagram and Facebook, the only reason I didn’t immediately delete is because of a moment in Florida a few months previous. We had traveled to the beach in Florida for a friend’s wedding. The lineage of our ties to […]
