I love how Little T hugs me. He hugs me when he’s happy, when he’s excited, when he’s unsure, and when he’s scared. I wish it were like that for me, where all I ever needed to feel safe was a hug.
Where I live if someone gives you a hug it’s from the heart.

This is the first time since I’ve met Big T that I haven’t done anything special for the Superbowl. But then again, I’m painting my nails a peaceful shade of grey, sipping some chocolate almond-milk with a cinnamon stick, and I have the entire house to myself for a few hours-so maybe it’s a special day after all. Besides, I’m not completely missing out on the fun. Our neighbors to our left, right, and directly behind are watching the game and I can hear a chorus of cheers every time something exciting happens. 😉
I’m recuperating from a family trip to Disneyland. We had a great time, but I’m exhausted! Instead of going to watch the Superbowl with the two T’s, I’m working on a blog post with a few tips on what to do with toddlers at the Park. I’m going to keep developing the list as time goes on, so please let me know if you have anything for me to add.
In the meantime, here are a few quick pictures that I snapped last night! I *hope hope hope* this area is open for an engagement shoot I have at the end of the month. It’s one of my favorite areas of the park, but I think they’re going to do construction there in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
To my American friends, have a great Superbowl Sunday! To my non-American friends, have a great Sunday, Sunday!

Helping out backstage for a beautiful Disney Wedding in the Animation Building:
Leaving ransom notes in exchange for my all time favorite vegan cookies from The Last Drop Cafe ;):
The moment where you think, “do I help him out??? Or do I let this play out for a few seconds more while I take a picture?” mwaha
Speaking of Little T, he loves to copy me lately. His favorite mommy thing to do right now is throw on a scarf and pretend to take Miss Piggy on a walk.
He’s also training to be a news reporter, didn’t you know?
Meeting with some beautiful girls about a bridal portrait shoot:
Every once in a while, we drive by Mother’s Market. It’s a good thing this is rare, because vegan junk food is inevitable when we make this stop:
*pictured below* Tofurky Frozen Pizza, Vegan Cookie Dough, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Coconut Yogurt, Oatmeal Cookies for our DL trip this week, and fake mac and cheese (we throw in some green peas and make this for Little T when we’re in a pinch).
To even out the junkiness, we also shared some yummy beet juice. Note to parents: beet juice makes for a very interesting diaper change.
And my *zomgsquee* thing of the week! One of my fancy new camera lenses arrived, with it’s beautiful red ring and everything!
Unfortunately, this moment was short lived, because it was followed by Little T grabbing my 50mm lens and smashing it onto the floor. The good thing is that of all my lenses, he smashed the cheapest. The bad news: it was my favorite lenssssss. Gah!
But what can you do? He didn’t know what he was doing. It was a good lesson to learn that we need to make sure we keep our camera equipment away from sweet Little T. 🙂
And that was my week, I hope you had a great one!

When was the moment you realized you were an adult?
I thought I’d feel like an adult when I moved out of my parent’s house, but I didn’t.
Then I thought, when I become a teacher I’ll feel like an adult…but that didn’t do the trick either.
Then I figured I’d feel like a grown up when I got married, because what’s more grown up than getting married? But no, I still didn’t feel like an official adult.
When my husband and I bought our house-and we could paint our own walls with whatever color we wanted (I was so tired of white apartment walls), I was certain I’d feel like a grown up-but I still felt like a youngster at heart.
I knew that when we adopted our son, I’d finally feel like an adult. But, no. I still didn’t feel like a grown up.
I started my own business, and that got me on my way to feeling a little more adultish, but…
I was talking to an old friend the other day about how weird he felt carrying a briefcase, and I came to the realization that I officially felt like an adult when I purchased my first purse a few months ago. I’ve never owned a “purse” before. I’ve carried around backpacks and wallets, but never a purse.
I felt like a lady, all grown up.
A purse, who would have thought…?
