A photo journal comprised of my thoughts on motherhood and other life happenings, as well as some of professional work as a photographer. Southern California is home.
It’s funny how life works sometimes. The day before I passed out cold and Willy saved me from falling head first into the bathroom wall, we had a rare and wonderful date. In hindsight, it matched in beauty to what the evening matched in misery.
We started the day at The Penthouse in Santa Monica. I had the Belgium waffle with fresh squeezed orange juice and it was delightful. We drove around Santa Monica a bit before heading over to Venice, where we sat and people watched. Then we stopped at The Daily Pint known for all the rare whiskeys they carry. Willy got a glass that came out to roughly $6 per sip (I made him count). It’s not something he splurges on often, so it was nice to watch him enjoy it. And enjoy it, he did. We drove along the PCH on the way home and watched as the sun set. It was beautiful.
Then I came home, didn’t feel like eating dinner and spent the rest of the night on the toilet with a bucket on my lap. It all ended with an ambulance ride to the hospital and an overnight stay where I received a total of seven liters of IV fluids.
I remember when you posted the picture of you on Instagram, enjoying your date night. I was so happy…and then the sickness hit. Ugh. I have to believe you’ve had your fair share of ebbs and are ready for more flows 🙂
Nope, it’s from @thriftarchaeology (purchased through instagram). Lyndzee is the shop owner and she is all kinds of lovely. Her stuff is great and super affordable. I think this necklace was $25.
such a beautiful adventure.

I hope you are feeling better Ashley! I assume you ate more than just at breakfast? Anything for Lunch?
Hope you are well,
