Yesterday, "School of Rock" WAS NOMINATED FOR AN EMMY. I cried. My mom cried. The dog peed in the bed. It was a day full of joy and we are beyond grateful and excited. I've written before (many times) about what a shitshow Hollywood is (my friend Allison says it better than I ever could), and also about how very hard Tony worked to get to where he is now. To celebrate, I ran 6.6 miles around our new neighborhood, jumped in the pool and then ate a pile of Tony's favorite take-out BBQ on some bistro tables we got at the Rose Bowl flea market. Things are insane and heartbreaking and scary around the world right now, and I'm sending love and light out to everyone, and trying to be present and cherish every moment of the life I have. I hope you all have the happiest weekend! Here's what I'm grateful for this week...View Article

Today, I am beyond grateful to be in Tahoe with my family. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of amazing places, but this one is the best in the world and there is no better time to be here than 4th of July weekend. (Except maybe our wedding. I’m still working on Tony to renew our vows annually and just have a wedding every year. For some reason, he keeps saying no.) We rolled in at 4am two days ago and spent yesterday in a haze of napping, day drinking, throwing sticks in the lake for the dogs, reading and night drinking. We had cheese for dinner. I’ll probably have cheese (and maybe wine) for breakfast too. Tippi woke us up at 6:30am and Tony said “It’s her vacation too,” so as much of a monster as I am in the morning, it just means more time by the lake. I am so happy. We’re moving into our new house next week and starting renovations - so next week, I’m taking the week off to have daily panic attacks dealing with that, and we’re doing a Tony Takeover on the blog. Check back Tuesday to see his take on Heels in the Hills content. Have the happiest 4th of July weekend! I hope it is full of dogs, themed cocktails, unhealthy food, boat rides and family. Here’s what I’m grateful for right now…View Article
Tony and I finally finished renovating our current home and I am thrilled for the following reasons: 1) I have access to my wine again. 2) We have use of our kitchen sink again. 3) I have access to my wine again. 4) NEW MARBLE COUNTERTOPS. 5) That wine thing. 6) It looks like we live in a modern art museum, and all my hoarding is squirreled away #OutOfSightOutOfMind. 7) That wine thing. I am drinking wine as I write this, in fact. I'm feeling ALL THE FEELINGS. As you know if you read this blog regularly, Tony and I bought a new house that we are absolutely thrilled about... But I have lived in this one for 7 years and love it deeply. I have so many amazing memories here, we have put so much work into it over the years and it feels kind of surreal that we're selling it. Change is hard for me, but I know it is good and we are so excited for this new chapter. And I hope we find someone to love our house as much as we do. I also hope your weekend is filled with as much wine as mine will be. HAPPY FRIDAY! (Apologies in advance for any spelling and/or grammatical errors. My day drinking game is strong this afternoon.)View Article
Tony and I are giving our current home a little make-over prior to finding a new family to love it as much as we do. So, over the past few days, it's been getting its "lipstick" painted on (otherwise known as re-finishing our floors.) Because this nightmare process takes days, we are currently living in one room with our 3 dogs. Tony gets to go to work, so for roughly 10-12 hours a day, it's been me and the dogs. I think I speak dog now. When I run out of the crackers, Kind bars and Costco-size jar of peanut butter I hoarded into our make-shift bunker, I guess I will have to eat dog food. I've spent a lot of hours actively regretting that I forgot to hoard wine. If "The Walking Dead" becomes reality, I will be prepared (unless zombies fit through dog doors.) This weekend, I am most looking forward to getting some fresh air outside of this room, and re-gaining access to my wine. HAPPY FRIDAY! Here's what I'm grateful for right now...View Article
Tony officially went on hiatus today, and we are going on a date tonight. Like, a real actual date. Like, I'm going to shower. Maybe even wash my hair, we'll see, who knows. Definitely wear a dress because I'm scared to know whether or not my pants fit right now. Tomorrow, Tony is going to a theme park with his bros, and my plan is to go to a Korean spa by myself and let a stranger scrub my skin off. I need to take a chill pill. (JK I'm already popping chill pills called Xanax like candy. Thinking about storing them in a Pez machine, just to make it fun.) This week continued last week's level of bonkers, and I'm excited to hopefully share some big news next week if everything goes well this weekend - and if not, I will write about how it all fell apart. (Xanax.) I know I'm being like one of those awful people on Facebook who's like "I HAVE THE BEST NEWS BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT," but I really don't want to jinx anything so thank you for bearing with my grossness. In the meantime, here's what I'm grateful for this week... I hope you guys have a happy weekend with as much wine guzzling as I am planning for myself!View Article
I woke up thinking it was Monday. It's been that kind of week. (Also, maybe I have Alzheimer's.) Tony and I are making some big life changes that I can't wait to share once I know they're for real for real actually real, so our weekend will be spent lying low and working around the house. Our one big adventure will be attending a party at a beach house that has been featured in coffee table books, and I can't wait to eat too many tacos and pretend I live there. I'm taking Monday off to try to get my sh*t together, and I hope you have a relaxing, rejuvenating three days full of joy, party food and less Xanax than me! To everyone who has served and sacrificed for our country, thank you thank you thank you. HAPPY LONG WEEKEND! Here's what I'm grateful for right now...View Article
