Boy meets girl (in third grade). Girl becomes smitten with boy (in college). Boy and girl fall in love, move to California, and get married. Girl and boy spend years gallivanting around, focused on their careers, life, and everything but starting a family. Boy and girl overanalyze and over-plan everything (per usual) and decide that it’s finally time. Then all of a sudden, we are here. 30 weeks in, taking maternity photos, and looking forward to meeting what we affectionately ...
May 2017 TS&TS Running Playlist
The sun is officially taunting me and I couldn't help but to break from my normal morning workout routine and take the bump for a post-work run last week. I made my way through a loop that weaved in and around a college campus, but running said loop on a Friday at 6 p.m. presents some very different scenery. College "woo girls" were plentiful, as were what looked liked shirtless babies playing beer pong on their fraternity front lawn. As I jogged by, I proudly presented a subtle reminder as ...
Baby Watch: The Second Trimester
And just like that, the second trimester is over. A tiny little human has been growing inside of me for 27 weeks and something strange happened along the way: I found out that I kind of love being pregnant. Who is this person?!

But for the first time ...
The TS&TS Edit: Maternity Wardrobe Staples
Hey girl…I get it. Those pants just won’t button, the zipper won’t stay up, and even if you did manage to stuff your growing belly into those leggings, you’re pretty sure it’s cutting off all circulation and your head will likely fall of due to lack of blood flow. And we haven’t even talked about the cups that now overfloweth. But I come bearing good news: there are actually quality maternity clothes out there and you can build a mini “maternity capsule closet” with just the ...
APRIL 2017 TS&TS RUNNING PLAYLIST
For those not in California during the month of April, I apologize for your loss because it’s pretty freaking spectacular here. The temperatures are a divine 70, the hills are still green, and even a short run in the sun is enough to sustain an entire day’s worth of unbridled glee. To be honest, I may or may not be high on a wicked mix of sunshine and endorphins right now. Guilty. For those not soaking up the vitamin D right now, don’t worry. Here’s a running mix that will help get you ...
