During our vacation we headed to Tahoe City for a day. We spent the day with family, walked at the beach and played at the park. It was a chilly but beautiful day. We had been hoping for a little snow for the kids to play in but there was only a dusting up at the peeks that day. Hoping this big storm this week brings the Seirra's lots and lots of snow that will stay long into the spring!
Not sure if these two had ever been in 30 degree temps before. If running around at the park didn't warm them up these hot chocolates from Rosie's Cafe sure did!
A few years ago I won tickets to Expressing Motherhood. Tickets to a show for women with free wine and cupcakes.. HECK YEAH! My friend and I both left our nursing babies with our husbands for a ladies night out. This was a rare treat for me at the time. I was pretty new to L.A., had only made a few err, a friend. At the show we treated ourselves to greasy food truck snacks, a few glasses of wine and cupcakes. Each cast member told a different story. Stories of joy, pain, and silliness.
The show was raw, humbling, and hilarious.
I was so inspired by these woman. Their confidence. Their passion.
From the day my husband I moved to L.A., 8 months pregnant with our 20 month old and 10 year old we knew we loved it here. But, after this show though, I felt a connection. A connection with ALL the L.A. moms. Not only the ones like me but the ones who were different as well! I left less judgmental because even if a mom parented different than me we were the same. We all had 1 thing in common aside from having had babies.
We were raising kids in L.A.!
This year I was asked to do the cast photos for the show. I was honored and excited to be part of a show that was so touching to me and helped me feel like I belonged here.
A huge thank you to all these beautiful and families and new friends of Little L.A. Photography! It was wonderful working with you and I can't wait to see the show again!
