Lent

Easter will be here in less than forty days and as such it is currently Lent (for Christians). It is traditional to give something up for Lent and this year I have decided to give up chocolate (gasp!). It is proving more difficult than I imagined. Chocolate is just in so many things that I love-- like cookies, ice cream, and Nutella! I'm sure that my waist line will thank me in the end but this is really hard! Are you giving something up for Lent? 

Baby Books

The Rose Garden at Huntington Gardens, San Marino, CA

So the other day I was reading through my baby book (quite fun, highly recommend it) and in it there was a section about trips I'd taken and things that I liked to do as a baby. It was really fascinating to see how much stuff I'd loved as a baby that I still love. For instance, trips to the Los Angeles Zoo to watch the monkeys, the tidepools at my great aunt's beach house in Cayucos, all of the beautiful plants at Huntington Gardens, and ice cream! Have you ever read through your baby book?
