Hello again...here's quick update

Hi friends. I've been enjoying motherhood way too much to bother with this blog. And most of you have been following Cora updates on her own blog CoraCaldwell.com or here and there on my Twitter account @jenleo.

Yep, I'm back to work - still blogging for the Los Angeles Times Daily Travel & Deal Blog, as well as writing the weekly Web Buzz column for the Travel print section.

Cora has been a super traveler - and has already been to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas with New York and Charleston next up in April. London in June.

We go to mommy & me movies with a couple other moms on select Wednesday mornings and are part of a Mommy/Baby group that gets together every other Saturday. John is a very hands on dad. Right now he's taking care of Cora 50% of the time. I think the other moms hate me for this. But the fact that we also give Cora some formula balances us out.

We're loving living in Carlsbad. John walks with Cora at the beach nearly every weekday morning while I work and we see my brother Jason almost every week and it was twice a week during football season. I've got more blogging ideas on the front burner itching for my attention and I'm also endeavoring to start sewing. Etsy has been the main inspiration, but the fact that my mom sewed clothes for me and her sits in my head too. Since I spend so much time online - I've got the most urgent desire to make something tangible.

John joined a men's baseball team and plays Sundays. This has been great for me and Cora. We've gone with him to Coronado and near University Heights yesterday where this picture on the right was taken at Cream coffee house. Sunday mornings are quickly becoming the favorite day of the week.

That's all for now. Follow us on CoraCaldwell.com for more regular updates.
