Just a glimpse into the relaxing, heavenly, and magical touch of Michelle Hummel. 

I met Michelle three years ago when I was pregnant. She was a masseuse at the spa at Equinox. She melted away all of my prenatal pains and I have been loyal ever since.

Now, this entrepreneurial woman has branched out and is now working for herself, right on Manhattan Beach Blvd! Using the best products for facials (trust me. I have the most sensitive, dry skin on Earth!), the yummiest oils for massage, and the most organic and pure  potion for spray tan (yes, everything is completely safe for pregnant women!!).

I personally vouch for her talent and encourage you to go check her out. As a courtesy to my friends, fellow yoga mammas, and me, Michelle is offering $30 off her normal fee. Book this week and you will receive a 60 minute massage for $60!! It is unbeatable and truly amazing. Maybe even ask your sweetheart for a Valentine's Day treat!

The last few months have been truly a miracle. Little angels keep appearing everywhere! In particular, this beautiful baby girl.

Colette Foxen was born almost two weeks ago to one of my dear high school friends. I'm already in love with her first daughter, Finley, now my heart is twice as big.

Baby Colette, welcome to this world. You have no idea how much you are already loved.

I couldn't get enough of this awesome blanket on Finley's bed. So fun! Thanks big sister for sharing :)

I've been dying to use this dinosaur prop. Finally a sleepy sleepy baby that would really let me do anything with her :)

If you've been following this blog the past two years, you'll surely remember this picture of Finley. If not, here it is again. Have to make sure big sister still feels the love too :)

They make some pretty babies, wouldn't you say?

2012 has blessed me with some beautiful new additions into this world.

Meet this gorgeous baby girl with a name to match...

What a great start to a new year! So much fun voting for "Best Babies of 2011" and now the first Best Baby of 2012!

This family was a dream to shoot. So chill, wearing pajamas (ok. I wish I looked like Sarah fresh out of bed, with a newborn, wearing pajamas), but anyway- you get my point. Will was not interested in sleeping whatsoever, but he was happy as a clam, so no complaints here either!

Meet Will, ten days old. Can we say, 'Raaaar!!"?

With amazing team work, mom and dad were able to get him to sleep for a few minutes. Ha! Will- You're gonna give your parents quite a run for their money! You little turkey, I mean, lion :)

Precious little guy. Ahhhh....

Thank you all for voting! We had close to 400 voters on this year's "Best Babies of 2011"!

All of these babies are absolutely gorgeous. They were all a close first, but the one to take home the prize of $100 Photos By

Monika credit is...

MATEO!! Congratulations Scott and Sasha!

What a fun way to start the New Year! Stay tuned for the new adorable babies of 2012! There are quite a few coming soon on the blog!
