Shandon California

Shandon, California is the last stop out of SLO County heading east, toward the Central Valley. I don’t think…

Me & My Peeps

Hey! My name is Tonya.

I'm a journalist, writer, and, I guess, now a mommy blogger. I say 'I guess' because I'm by no means an expert at this motherhood thing.

But I do know writing, and I've been a writer for as long as I can remember. Before this blog, I was an industry-recognized government reporter for a mid-sized daily newspaper. And now I have a family adventure column in two local magazines.

Nowadays, my writing is all about play and travel. When the kids and I aren't out and about, we do toy and travel reviews on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

And, let’s face it. I also keep trying for the elusive mama + kid selfie where everyone is smiling AT THE SAME TIME.

You know, because #lifegoals.

Meet Clara

Clara is 6 years old. She likes to see how things work, eat candy and is obsessed with all things sparkly (that's my girl). She calls "flamingos", "mangos" (gah) and says she loves me "all the days". She just started school and I definitely cried at drop-off.

When she's not adventuring, Clara is an awesome Lego Duplo builder!

Meet Wyatt

Wyatt is 4 years old. He likes to run around and be crazy. And do everything his sister does. Or doesn't do. (Sister doesn't sit in a stroller? Then, NOPE. I don't either.)

Wyatt claps when he dances, sports some major dimple action and is excellent at pretending to be a dinosaur.

Roar!
