everyday life - week 2

Yay! Happy 2nd week of 2018. I'm so (almost stupidly) excited that I'm not super late on this post. I'm also actually very happy that I committed to doing this because it reminded me to take lots of snapshots throughout the week of just regular day-to-day life and it has been making me so happy just looking back and remembering through them.

Here's what this past week looked like:

Adding some silliness to breakfast with some cool shades! 

Post-nap screen time. We usually save any/all screen time for after his nap and reserve the mornings (when he's most awake and alert!) for books, activities, puzzles, etc! 


Took a quick trip to paris baguette on a rainy morning for some coffee and croissants! Stopped to take a few selfies. We loved finally having a rainy (and not blazing hot!) day in california!


Fresh cuts and smooth comb overs.

Boys have so much energy.

Cooler weather called for a nice warm meal. My favorite kinds of meals are clean-out-your-fridge/freezer meals. This sukiyaki was so easy to put together with all the random things in my fridge.

Brainstorming, reflecting. One of my resolutions is to be more intentional about taking time to just BE STILL. 

A rare (but always welcome) quiet afternoon when naps are long and the toddler is quiet and occupying himself.
*PRAISE HANDS*

Rescheduled their appointments so that they could have 'em together! Baby got shots and toddler got none but toddler cried more (PTSD?) during the appointment. Thankful for gift of healthy babies. Never want to take it for granted. <3

Soba salad and Oyakodon. His, hers, and little his
(aka fun size, aka try to make shapes to make veggies look more appetizing)

A rare week of rain means letting toddler run around like a crazy person splashing in every puddle - followed by a super long bath. He was so happy and had so much fun. My favorite kind of day.

Birthday festivities. 

Blessed with so many great gifts this year! Pretty sure the best gift Asher received this past year was baby sister, though! I hope they become the best of friends.

Current obsession:

Bi-weekly family cafe dates continues. This one was #3. 


Hands down my FAVORITE family tradition.
Iced coffees, our usborne books and just some time to spend in quiet with our family. Sherin loves it.

Can never leave the department store without an escalator ride. 

Birthday celebration #4 (I think?) AKA mom and dad got a free sundae.

Daily cuddle-in-the-crib time. Asher loves laying in here with her.

Spontaneous late-night dinner with friends!
Stayed out almost 2 hours past our bedtime. Tantrums were had but memories were made. Love baby friends!

We ate a lot of takeout this week. (twas a busy week.) One of my resolutions is to eat at home more and to cook more healthy foods - but long, hard days and crazy night shift schedules are a good excuse for some wiggle room.

Morning basket has been the best way to start our morning. Excited to do an entire post about this soon! 

Sneaking in some extra calories in between playing and running around with friends. Happiest birthday to Ellis! <3


MAMAS GONE WILD!!!
wings, waffle fries (on the house!) and BOGO matcha soft serves with some good conversation on the side with fellow mamas whom I love. Such a blast! 

Have a great week everyone, xoxo
