Kevin and I are always on the lookout for the best places to photograph Los Angeles (in other words, cool Instagram spots). We’ll be the first to admit — we were late to the Instagram game when we created our first account a few months ago. But we say better…

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been searching for the best outdoor activities for babies in LA. Because let’s face it. Happy kids make happy parents. After a year of working from home during the lockdown, we’ve been somewhat stir crazy. And sure, screaming babies (in a 2 bedroom condo) MIGHT…
Gastro Garage is one of LA’s hottest new restaurant concepts — quite literally. This isn’t just a fancy dinner out, but a full-scale pyrotechnic show. Kevin and I recently got the opportunity to check it out — securing a Friday night reservation at the W Hollywood Hotel’s rooftop where the…
There is no shortage of things to do on Catalina Island. It’s hard to believe that the last time Kevin and I visited Catalina Island was over a decade ago. Truth be told, we did next to nothing on that trip. I was exhausted and jet lagged from a work…
When planning our latest weekend adventure, I knew we had to go parasailing on Catalina Island. I recently learned that Kevin has never done it before. I guess I shouldn’t be too shocked. He has a crippling fear of heights. So I say, the time has come for him to…

There are no shortage of staycation ideas for couples in Los Angeles. Kevin and I recently marked our 16 year anniversary together. Sixteen years? It certainly doesn’t feel that long. Yet, so many things have happened in our lives, both positive and challenging. But through it all, we’ve leaned on…
It’s time for a cross country road trip to California. We miraculously kept on track with our itinerary taking us from California to Florida to see the family over the holidays. Okay, we were pretty much packed into the SUV like sardines with the kids and our dog Doug. But…
