One of my favorite things about coming back from vacation is reliving the memories. In the case of Japan, it was especially fun to reminisce while unpacking the cute souvenirs we purchased. G and I both designated our carry-ons for bringing home tons of snacks, candy, and "kawaii" beauty and office products. Before doling gifts out to family and friends, I took photos of some of my favorites, which I included here. I'm heading to New York on Sunday (so much for adjusting to the LA time zone), but hoping to spend the day on Saturday laying low with Sloan and G and trying out one of the face masks pictured below. Hope you have a restful weekend!

I feel like the last 14 days have been nothing but a haze of illness (my dad even got the flu while he was visiting us last weekend, poor guy). Typically what happens is I get sick and G remains stalwart in health, his immunity almost never succumbing to seasonal bugs. But we ...read more

Last Sunday, before I had a chance to fully unpack from Japan, let alone recover from jet lag, I left for a quick work trip to New York. Since I arrived in the afternoon on Sunday, I took full advantage of the free time to unwind in my hotel room with a magazine and a glass of ...read more

Yesterday morning, while I was preparing Sloan's breakfast, she climbed onto the couch and stood straight up on one of the cushions. Before I could tell her to get down, she preempted my response by saying, "Nooo, Sloan" in the same tone I use when she's doing something she's not ...read more
