We had a major pinhole leak in our kitchen, which seems to be our summer curse. After a whirlwind week of plumbers, field adjusters, and a water mitigation team in and out of our house, we decided to get out of town for a long weekend. Especially because our entire…
We headed to Arizona for the beginning of Thanksgiving Break to soak up some family time in the desert. We took a day trip to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess to enjoy the heated pools. We came back another night for the annual tree lighting ceremony. It’s always amusing to see…
I spent the rest of spring break hanging poolside with my pool boys. They earned a well deserved popsicle break. Cheers!
With our big kids in London for spring break, I took the littles to Arizona for some sunshine and relaxation. It just so happened that Troy had a conference in Scottsdale that week so I met up with him for a couple of days while Crew and Finn stayed with…

We headed to the desert for Thanksgiving. The boys had the whole week off from school so it was worth it to travel. Funny enough, we had to go to the desert to pull out the winter apparel. It was a lot chillier than Southern California. Nash’s “relaxing” photos have…
