September was full of celebrations 💕 from birth September was full of celebrations 💕 from birthdays to baby showers, we had so much fun being out and about with friends and catching the first glimpses of fall 🍂
Working out has always been a big part of my regul Working out has always been a big part of my regular routine and something I loved doing since college. With a little one at home now though, finding time and energy to hit the gym started feeling more like a burden.

I decided to refresh our home gym and make it a more inviting, zen space to get a good sweat in (and of course I had to fill it with plants). I was also excited to repurpose our old entryway table that had been collecting dust forever! Peloton app runs and Chloe Ting workouts, here I come 💪

My happy new FLF plant is from @bloomsgiving their plants are cared for so well!

Highlights from our first trip a few weekends ago Highlights from our first trip a few weekends ago with just us as a family, including our dog Mango! We also brought him along to Pismo last year for our babymoon. It’s such a laid-back and dog-friendly beach town, perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. Chloe LOVES dogs and would squeal in delight and say “dog!” every time we saw one. Our little dogspotter 😆
 
Tips:
-keep the itinerary very light and account for naps 
-bring liquid formula for the road 
-leave the toys at home, there’s plenty to entertain them!
-bring a baby carrier like an Ergobaby

We stayed at our favorite dog-friendly hotel in Pismo, @thecliffshotelandspa 💯

She came into the world blurry-eyed, always sleepy She came into the world blurry-eyed, always sleepy, and unable to move much at all. Even lifting her head was a big effort. Now she’s toddling around, trying to put on her own shoes, and pointing to ask for this and that!
 
We’re constantly amazed by how quickly she adapts, learns, and grows stronger. We observe every day with patience and celebrate each little milestone so she builds confidence and learns at her own pace. These moments are a reminder to slow down, soak it all in, and support her growing independence with love and encouragement.

Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the corner and Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the corner and making snow skin mooncakes was such a fun, festive way to celebrate! The ingredients are surprisingly simple and they tasted great. Kind of like mochi filled with custard! I froze some to give to my parents this weekend.

Tip: you can also add matcha powder or beet juice to add a natural pop for color to the snow skin 🌈

Comment or DM me for the recipe link, 10/10 recommend it. Next year I’d love to try making traditional baked mooncakes. If you’ve made those before, let me know how it went and any tips! 🌝
