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!

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

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
