G left today for a bike race in Solvang and I couldn't be happier that my mom surprised us to be with Sloan and me while he's away. We snuck away for dinner last night, just the two of us, and plan on visiting Griffith Park tomorrow for their train rides, ponies (we look from afar since Sloan still isn't keen on riding them), and carousel. On Saturday night G gets back in time for an '80s-themed party, which I can't wait to embrace. Have a great weekend!

I recently had a girls' night with some of the moms from Sloan's music class, and it was the most fun I've had in awhile. We chatted and laughed for hours, and it felt good to remember that I'm still a person outside of my role as a mom. We talked a lot about travel, and the ...read more

G left on Wednesday for a six-day-long bike trip in Vermont with friends so I'm holding down the fort in L.A. Though I'd been away for lengthy work trips to New York in the past, G would always meet me there halfway through, so we wouldn't be apart for as long. Over dinner on ...read more
