This is supposed to be the end…
They say today is the un-official end of summer. They say that after today you shouldn’t wear white. They say today you should eat lots of BBQ and take one last dip in the pool. I say “pfft, whatever”. Summer is in full swing around these parts and I’m hopeful it’s going to stick around […] Read more…
Miley Cyrus – Nothing New

Maybe the Best Week EVER!
Recently, my family and I did a week-long stay-cation. I have been saying for the longest time that I wanted to take some time to be a tourist in our city. This was the perfect opportunity. It has never been more clear that we take so many things for granted. Living in Los Angeles sometimes […] Read more…
All About that Stay-Cation Vacation
