For the longest time, I didn’t know what to do with my website. I always enjoy writing here and updating you, and I noticed I hadn’t updated in FOUR months. Holy jeeze. I want to get better with that, now that I’m a bit better with my time management after having two boys. I have a little system/schedule going now, and I can definitely fit some time in for blogging these days. So hello, again! Let’s jump into what I randomly came up with this morning…
My boys and I enjoy heading out to the forest for adventures or visiting the local playgrounds in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley (similar style to my Exploring Coffee Shops back in the day). I decided to create a somewhat weekly post about the ones we’ve been going to for the past couple of years, and finding new ones. I had been posting and sharing about these on my Instagram page each time we come across a new-to-us one, and now I’m also going to document about it here (you know, in case instagram decides to shut down randomly one day and I lose everything I ever posted!).
Braly Park, Sunnyvale California
704 Daffodil Ct, Sunnyvale CA 94086
Braly Park is a Japanese-themed park and is located on 5.6 acres of land. There’s a decent sized parking lot, off street.
This playground has a huge field for playing with your kids, flying a kite, throwing ball to your pup. There’s a bathroom on site, 3 picnic areas with electrical outlets, horseshoe pit, shuffleboard and sand volleyball court (no nets). I haven’t seen anyone play volleyball while there, but the kids seem to love playing in the sand and the water from the splash pad drains down into the sand creating a lovely experience for those that enjoy playing in the muck! Ha! Tip: If ever playing in sand/wet sand/sunscreen + sand, bring baby powder. Dash it onto the areas where you’re full of sand and it removes it like nothin’ I’ve ever seen. Wild.
I’m all about playgrounds that don’t have wood chips. Wood chips have a tendency to get everywhere: in our shoes,splinters, and landing on them when you have a new walker isn’t comfortable either. This is a great playground and the entire area is cushiony/soft/spongy material. Not sure of the technical term ;)
It has a play structure for older kids, and a toddler area with tons of shade, and a few musical instruments for the kids to make some tunes. We love the small frog splash pad area and sand. My boys could spend hours here.
Definitely check this one out!
This past weekend I received some sweet Saturday mail. Some new kicks for a little stylish toddler. The 5 pairs of boots I picked out for bebs were gifted to me from 
These leather boots are simply gorgeous quality. I picked all the hightops for him since he’s a semi-new walker and tends to trip easier if he wears lower sneakers. By the way if you don’t know what size your kiddo it in right now, BOBUX has an online 
If you’ve never heard of this brand before let me give you a quick run-down: Bobux is a company from New Zealand and endorsed by podiatrists. The shoes are of course adorable and stylish, but they’re incredibly functional, and easy for kids to walk in, as the soles are rubber – meaning they’re not stiff and really allow the child to move and play easily. Run your little heart out 
Oh, and they also offer free shipping on all US orders (and also great sales 👌ðŸ»).
These yellow ones are so sweet. They’re actually from the 
Adorable right? I saved a highlight reel on my instagram page (under Bobux) if you wanted to see more pictures and videos. I’ll be tagging the brand when he wears them out and the photos aren’t blurry….because he’s a busy toddler on the constant move!
So, another OOTD post. You bored of them yet?
This time I’m comin’ atcha with a new feature – these vegan boots I got as a PR sample. They’re the
