My Quest for a Simple Life / May 17, 2012

Ok. This post is going to be kind of short because I’m having kind of a 9-1-1 situation here at The Little Hen House.
I’ve written about it plenty of times, so most of you should know about my happy place by now, but the girls and I just solidified plans to go there for almost the entire summer.… Read More

Sometimes I get really excited about an outfit; this is one of those. I love this outfit so much that you might recognize it from my headshot over there to your right.
Yep. That’s it.
I also wore it for the San Diego Home and Garden Lifestyles Magazine article I wrote.… Read More
90's Hottie / May 14, 2012
This week’s 90s Hottie is still totally hot. He also has kind of an awesome wife and two of the most styling kids in town. Hey Gavin and/or Gwen? If you guys are reading this, let’s totally have a playdate. Call me.
Fun fact: I have actually met this 90s Hottie and I’m happy to report that he is just as hot in person as he is in his pics.… Read More

There just isn’t really a whole lot I can say about this, except I love it.
I just really, really, really love it.

Since I’m not exactly what the protocol is for celebrating Mother’s Day when you have two small children and are going through a divorce, I thought I would just go ahead and buy myself something, give myself a big pat on the back, and call it a day.
You know, now that I think of it, that’s probably not too far off from how most of us celebrate Mother’s Day.… Read More

My boss was in town last week, which meant I had to get out of my jammies and head into the office. It was perfect timing because, honestly, I had been slacking off a bit in the wardrobe department.
It happens to the best of us; we get a little too comfortable in our jeans and t-shirts and then next thing you know, you’ve been wearing the same outfit for a week straight.… Read More
90's Hottie / May 7, 2012

I had the pleasure of having a movie night last weekend, which gave me the chance to watch one of my all-time favorite 90s movies.
Remember this one?

All of a sudden, I feel 14-years old again.
For those of you who don’t remember the movie or haven’t seen it, Ethan Hawke plays Troy, a perpetually unemployed musician with a penchant for polyester button downs and dirty looking facial hair.… Read More

My gorgeous and talented friend from the Michon Michon blog recently wrote a post for Sprocket Ink about prom fashion.
I’m only going to show you one of the photos she posted.
I’m obviously doing this so you will go read her original post, but I’m also not confident that the average reader will be able to tolerate looking at the post in its entirety without first seeing a teaser.… Read More

This week’s Thrifty Mama post is taking a bit of a detour.
A few weeks ago, Studio M La Jolla, along with photographer Michael Spengler, hosted a few bloggers to a headshot party.
There were makeup artists, hairstylists, goodies from Giuseppe Catering, and even gorgeous floral arrangements from Ginny Boland of Adelaide’s Florists and Decorators.… Read More
