“Mama— take a picture of this face…” he says. And I’m grabbing my camera and trying to contain my laughter as I think to myself, “I’m just the absolute luckiest to know this kid.” 💛 Everyone needs a mister Conrad in their life.

Sometimes I raise my voice. Sometimes I beg. Sometimes I make ultimatums. Sometimes I hate bedtime to the freaking goodnight moon and back. ⁣⁣But then they’ll grab my chin and cheeks and lean in close to tell me they love me. And they’ll thank Heavenly Father for “no witches and no robbers” during their bedtime prayers. And insist on giving each other 17 silly hugs before the lights go out because “I’m gonna miss her so much when I sleep.” ⁣⁣I’ll take the 48 minutes of squatting between their beds for back scratches and the unexpected trip to the potty 12 minutes after the last potty trip if it means they keep this bond forever. Witnessing their complete love and sisterhood changes me. Even when I say I hate bedtime with my three-year-olds, I’m such a sucker for this stage of life with them.

A few photos from life lately over here - enjoying family time and life in Arizona. Thanks for being here while I’ve kind of been away for a little while… haven’t been doing well physically (some health issues) but that doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped taking one too many photos☺️

Just over here holding all my (not-so-little) babies close and stepping away from pretty much everything else. Trying to cuss less and write more. Often feel on the cusp of big breakthroughs I want from my life (yay!) while simultaneously giving too much power to my anxiety (ugh). Clinging to my evening prayers and favorite yoga class and busting out the Christmas music a season early. My footing might be terribly wobbly at the moment and who wants to hear the girl on the verge of nervous tears dish out any kind of life advice, but for anyone else in a similar rut (I’m so sorry) – might I suggest the biggest serving of strawberry shortcake as a remedy. Plus standing outside during a warm rain (Arizona, you healer with a perfectly timed monsoon season, how’d you know?)… and maybe put the phone down more. Or whatever version of these three things might float your boat. I’m sure chocolate soufflé with a dose of sunshine instead of shortcake and rain could also do the trick. The phone one I’m sticking by though. Sending you lots of love.

We are slowly making our way back to Arizona this week (my kids school year begins August 2nd😱) and we’ve never been more out of routine (definitely missing black out curtains right about now) BUT we’ve clocked in so many striking sunsets and got to hold and hug so many loved ones, it’s been everything. I meant to share earlier this week that Amazon is running a promo on my book right now through the end of the month (until 7/31)— use the code 3YELLOW for $3 off your book purchase! If you’ve been considering purchasing, it’d mean so much to have you do so! Thank you for supporting me and my book and I hope you find it worth your while and time. For those of you who have already purchased and read— if there was a takeaway or something that resonated with you as you read, would you consider sharing in the comments below for new potential readers to see?Thank you again for your support! This has been such a vulnerable and thrilling and challenging and exciting and scary endeavor and I’ve really appreciated the support. 💛

Our summer adventures are getting a little jumbled when it comes to me sharing anything in chronological order (a part of my brain is freaking out right now but another part of my brain is feeling a little bit more free.) Sparklers are our family’s happy place so we continued our 4th of July celebrating tonight with a few on the deck. Of all the summer activities so far, a box of sparklers a few days post holiday was Samson’s favorite. He hugged me so tightly at bedtime as he told me for maybe the 18th time how much fun he had tonight. Somehow I forget anything else I loved this summer… his enthusiasm for an evening of sparklers brought sparklers to the top of my favorite summer activities list, too. 🧨

twelve dates of christmas / dinner & a show!

December 12th 2013

see MORE

Uncategorized

on our third date of christmas, we saw new york city ballet’s the nutcracker and enjoyed dinner (and that beloved photobooth in the basement) afterwards at the smith with friends. megan fairchild is such a regal sugar plum. i always love her dancing. and we share the same birthday! i geek out at things like that.

ps. double dating after you’re married is crazy hard and weird and we got spoiled in DC when we found several couples who we just loved so much. thankful for all the friends we’ve made since being back in new york, and i feel like we’re finally getting back into our groove of finding those couples where we all mesh well, which feels so good.

another ps. thanks for being nice about my new hair! now let’s see if blondes really do have more fun. ;)

more dates of christmas posts here.

I´ve been reading your blog for a while now and I must say I´m loving it! The photos are great, you are the cutest family. And I am a mother of a 20-month old toddler so I get inspiration from this blog when it gets difficult and I have no idea what to do on a rainy, cold day :) I love being a mom, it is the best job in the world. And my son is lucky to have an awesome dad as well. Sometimes you guys remind me of us in a way. Anyway, xoxo from Croatia

Naomi, I really love your hair! Can you write a little about the process of getting your hair that color? And your thought process behind changing it? You’re looking like an Old Hollywood actress and I love it!
vicky valencia / December 12th 2013 @ 9:23 am

sounds so fun! I agree with Rachel Parker — you look like an old Hollywood actress. stunning.

ps: double dating is hard but thankful for the ones we are on routine double dating with!

I’ve been highlighting my dark blonde hair with bleach for as long as I can remember. I have tired A LOT of deep conditioners to help with damage. I recently came across this one and it is AMAZING. I cannot recommend it enough to help with bleached locks.

Double dating is definitely hard. Our favourite couple is moving away soon and I am already so sad. It can be hard for single friends to understand why you need couple time… I’m glad it’s working out for you guys.

amanda / December 12th 2013 @ 9:50 am

the ones at the smith restaurants and the one at the ace hotel are definitely the best in the city. you guys are obvs pros. my husband never clowns around but he does do brooding quite well (and if i’m honest, so do I. ha.).

I can not get used to the hair. I’m glad that you enjoy a lot of these quotes … They are great I am for doing that as well I also know two little ones is almost impossible to talk. Kisses and happy Thursday.
Taylor / December 12th 2013 @ 10:42 am

I love photobooths! Those pictures look so cute!
And yes, double dating can be sooo tricky! There will be times when we like one of the people in the couple A LOT and the other person…just not as much. It’s hard to find a couple that you both get along with really well.
