1. We took Colby to the beach last weekend for his first toe dip in the Pacific! I love this sun hat that we were gifted, it’s been a lifesaver for sunny days.
2. thredUP was in the news last week for being bought by Gap. It’s one of my favorite ways to clean my closet if things are not selling on Poshmark. I’ve been slowly filling up a few bags to send in and am loving all my new closet space!
3. I’m very proud to be on the team of people that raised such an outstanding amount of money for UCLA. I’ve been working on the centennial campaign since I started working at the university 7 years ago, time flies!
4. Love this creative way of settling a debate.
5. In my constant journey to get more sleep with a 3.5 month old, I’ve been reading and loving The Sleep Easy Solution.

1. I watched ‘Standing Up, Falling Down‘ last weekend and really loved it. It felt like a modern ‘Garden State.’ Great emotional through-story with excellent character development.

   

2. My husband and I are “Frog Society” members at Frogtown Brewery, a local brewery ~10 minutes down the road from us. It has definitely been our excuse to get out of the house on more than one occasion, made better by the fact that it is both dog and baby-friendly!
3. I read this book in one night a few weeks ago. I couldn’t sleep and just kept getting through chapters until… I realized it was 3 a.m. I think I recommend it? It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster of a read, would definitely say start it early in a day (or flight!).
4. Meet Bob.
5. I now have three pairs of Rothy’s loafers and am so in love with them. I have a pair of the flats but am not quite as enamored… and have a pair of the sneakers on the way! (Highly recommend Stella’s post on their referral program!)
