Hi guys! Wouldn't you know that sometimes the simplest days turn into the sweetest memories. We decided last minute to drive up to Apple Hill for a little snow day, and I’m so glad we did. There was so much snow up there after a week of rain in our city. Way more than I expected. Nothing planned, nothing fancy.

All the long practices, the ...

Aria’s 9th Birthday: A Trip to the American Girl Doll Store in LA.
Hi guys! Guess what we took our first trip of the year! A very special trip I might add for Aria’s 9th birthday! This year for Aria’s birthday, I gave her a choice: a traditional birthday party or a special trip to Los Angeles to visit the American Girl Doll store. Every year, she gets a little older, and I knew how much she’s always wanted to go. I wanted to make sure she experienced it while she still loved dolls, so I let her decide. Without hesitation, she picked the ...
