OneUpMakeup: Look Like Rarity!

After two and a half years and countless offers (thanks, Seattle real estate market!), we are thrilled to have finally closed on a beautiful house. And not a moment too soon, because Leonidas will have a baby brother who's going to need a room of his own starting in January!

Best of husbands, best of men. #surprise #marriage #travel

When the fine folks at @giadavegas let you take the tasting menu back to your hotel room. I'm sure it's not the ideal experience, @giadadelaurentiis, but your tasting menu is still absolutely divine. (And it's helping this COVID-conscious business traveler relax in comfort!)

Congratulations to @the.drewmeister and @dana.francisco on a gorgeous wedding on the perfect spring day. ❤️ So thrilled for this beautiful couple!

Easter egg hunts, friends, family, impromptu coordinating family outfits, and more food and chocolate than we know what to do with. Overall, it was a pretty good Easter. Happy Easter to you and yours!

Made cookie monster cupcakes for my son's second birthday. While I love to bake, my artistic skills are questionable, so I'm thrilled that these turned out as cute as they did!

Hello, I made a pasta cake because I'm a trash monster that's up for a challenge.

"Mommy work!" is something Leonidas has been saying a lot lately. Between the day job and writing another book, I haven't had a lot of time away from my computer. I'm exhausted, everything is a mess, and Leonidas and I are both getting over colds (as you can see from his nose.) Yet, this picture is one of my recent favorites. You can see the sparkle in my eye just from being around this cutie. Being a working mom is not glamorous, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Find yourself a friend as supportive as @maknzrose.
