This post is sponsored by Best Fiends. Thanks, Best Fiends! This year, our schedules (and the kids’ school schedules) didn’t align to let us make our annual trip to Arizona for baseball spring training. We were pretty bummed when we realized we wouldn’t be able to pull it off, but it did mean we’d have…

Spring In Our Step

We’re finally home from our annual Spring Training trip and I am beat. Our plan this year was to space things out a little more. We usually go to a baseball game every day, but we decided to change things up. We scheduled two days of baseball, and figured we’d spend the rest of our time…

We just wrapped up our annual trip to Arizona for Spring Training Baseball. We went early this year and I think overall, that was a good decision. Smaller crowds, better souvenirs, cooler weather (I prefer it blazing hot, but that’s not baby-or-preschooler-friendly). It was very strange to see baseball in February, though. I had a…

On Tuesday I was instant messaging with a friend when I mentioned that I felt really anxious, as if an anxiety attack were imminent. I told her how I hated feeling like that, especially since I couldn’t identify the stressor that was causing the anxiety. All my articles were in, my taxes were done, and…

We’re about two-thirds of the way through our annual trip to Arizona for baseball spring training. Every year I think, “This is going to be the year where I can sit by the pool and relax,” and uh, no. Traveling with small children is the exact opposite of relaxing. This isn’t to say we aren’t having…

Happy Easter, everyone! We’re celebrating on the road this year, but luckily the Easter Bunny still found us. The kids had small baskets, and there were about fifty eggs hidden in our hotel room (including cascarones!). Soon we’ll hit up a spring training baseball game, and tonight we’ll have a great dinner with Mike’s family….

Last week we got a letter home letting us know that Annabel was going to receive an award at her school’s monthly assembly. On Friday, we snuck into the back of the school’s auditorium to watch her get called onto the stage in front of all the lower grades. The Principal, when giving the award,…

So here we are, another Spring Training trip behind us. Mike and his sister were talking and they realized they’ve been going to Arizona for almost thirty years. I started going in 2003, a few months after I started dating Mike. That first trip was lots of sleeping in, drinking at the pool, drinking at…

We are finishing up a whirlwind trip to Arizona. One of the kids got sick on the drive, which put a damper on things. Luckily, everyone was recovered enough to make it to the two games we had tickets for. We’re heading back to LA this morning, much to Annabel’s dismay. “I just love Arizona…

“Want to go outside, Daddy? Want to go outside to PLAAAAAYYY?” We’ve lived in our home a year and a half now, but it’s only been in the last month or so that Annie has realized how much fun can be had playing in the backyard. This is adorable, but also time consuming for me…
