Pulse of the City

Jake and I attended a fundraiser at the Westin Kierland. It was a formal event named Pulse of the City benefitting Carden's Children's Hospital, and it was especially fun for me because I had written all the social media content for the night, through my 2nd part-time job at red balloon. The headliner was Sarah McLachlan, who had me in big ugly Chloe tears with her music, and we got to meet in a brief moment in the PR room. Cocktails and ballrooms don't come our way too often these days so we made sure to have fun!

DFMC 2016 San Diego

I had to travel for my part-time job and work at a conference for a week. Bonus was that it was held in San Diego that year. Bigger bonus is that my boss LET MY FAMILY COME TOO, as it was explained to him that a breastfed baby is incredibly tied to mum and can't be separated. Biggest bonus was that he also booked us a HUGE family-sized suite overlooking the bay! Amazing!

Jake took the days off and showed the girls the city and the beach while I worked, he even had to load everybody up for an early morning urgent care visit one day. He rocked it, and built vacation memories with his girls. And I was exhausted from all-day conference work and getting up at night with Darcy but it was all worth it!

the family suite my boss gave us!

The next morning after getting back the night before, Abigail had to get up at 5am for a school field trip - trooper!
