Running a marathon without training at 27 and running Ragnar without training at 37…yeah I def could feel the decade difference 😅 Let’s start from the beginning, last year I joined the running club at church and pretty much just … Continue reading Ragnar 2026
The annual girls trip – I’ve always loved the idea of it, but it always seems so hard to actually get calendars to align and add in people getting married and having babies, it feels near impossible to make it happen. The last time we did this was when we turned 30 and right before the pandemic hit…well 7 years later WE FINALLY DID IT! My elementary school friends (yes, we met when we were 8 years old) and I finally got out of the group chat and took a much needed weekend away together. We couldn’t go too far … Continue reading Girls Trip
As many of you know, I’ve been in the babywearing and baby product manufacturing space for over a decade and have tried on countless carriers and strollers as a certified specialist as well as in the different stages of motherhood. Now I’m in my SAHM era and it’s been busy!!! How did I use to work full time and take care of the kids AND have time to workout…or sleep?! I guess it’s different because now we have two so it’s 1 on 1 which can be hard…but also this age is so fun! Baby girl is almost a year … Continue reading MomCozy
After 13 years at Ergobaby, my time has ended. Unfortunately, I’ve been part of the layoffs under new ownership and I’ll be honest, I’m sad. Ergobaby was always more than a job for me. It’s been an anchor and constant for my entire 20s and now my 30’s. It’s where I learned how to work. It’s been the place I got to grow in professionally as I worked in customer service, dabbled in accounting, became an associate manager in marketing and event planning, executive assisted C suite and ended my tour in Human Resources. I definitely had hard days, but … Continue reading End of the Ergobaby Era

I keep saying I’ll write up a post partum post, but I didn’t process how little time I would have or energy to sit down and write…I much rather nap, shower or scroll IG! But now that we’re more than … Continue reading Post Partum Hair
My college roommate aka my bff got married last weekend! And I had the honor of being her bridesmaid ☺️ it’s been such a joy to see her love story unfold, but I have to admit, I was worried how much I could do to help cuz I’m in my third trimester of pregnancy! But all was well – she was the most chill bride! We kept asking her how we could help and she’s like I got it 😝 I was grateful to sit a lot cuz this second pregnancy has got me winded so easily 😅 First, we … Continue reading Bridesmaid while Pregnant
It’s been a yearly tradition since we moved to Orange County to visit the local pumpkin patch and take photos with our talented neighbor and friend, Leena (she’s also a food vlogger and content creator so hit her up if you want your restaurant and food to look pretty!). Last year, I was like 2 months postpartum so it was a blur! But this year, baby boy could explore and interact and we could take some fun baby pumpkin photos since I’m expecting baby girl in a few months xo Continue reading Irvine Pumpkin Patch
When we planned to go to Japan, the one thing my husband really wanted to do was go to the Pokemon cafe in Tokyo. I also watched Pokémon back in elementary school so I would also have fun since I … Continue reading Pokémon Cafe
When baby boy was born, we decided we wanted to visit Asia in his first year since my husband is from there so baby boy could meet that side of the family. Everyone we told we were going international for … Continue reading Have Baby, Will Travel
