We’ve been growing veggies and herbs during #quarantine and it’s been so rewarding watching our garden transform. Some of our plants are currently fruiting and are almost ready for harvest! Follow along at @GardenatPrimrose for more Luna summer gardening updates. 👩🏻‍🌾🥦🥬🌿🌺🥒🍋

“We hope that our union becomes stronger and even sillier through the years. We hope that our appetites for life and love are infectious and unceasing. And we hope to remain that loving couple you’ll always enjoy being around. Cheers to love. Cheers to life. Cheers to new beginnings!” ~ Charity + Jordan c. 6/29/2014 #6thanniversary

Happy Father’s Day @Jordantluna. 💕 This year

Happy Father’s Day @Jordantluna. 💕 This year has been a strange one but at least we’re having some damn good food during #quarantine. Thank you for fattening us up and for everything you do for our family. 💕 Ethan and I love you very much! 😘

Quarantine unleashed a busy bee in me that laid dormant for a while. Jordan says I am incapable of sitting still or doing nothing. I finally believe him. 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gardening has become my latest hobby. The learning process is the real thrill. There’s so much to learn! The rest of 2020 will be about cultivating some organic veggies, herbs and fruits for use in Jordan’s quarantine cuisine. As if we didn’t already have our plates full with a puppy, our jobs, baking, video games, eating, cooking, potty training, recreating Disneyland at home, more baking, childrearing...

We’ve been taking #shelterinplace pretty seriously at the Luna house. It’s making us do some crazy things. Ethan probably thinks we’re strange parents. He hated the whole TikTok idea. | Follow us on 🎶TikTok (@cherrychappstickblog) for more #stayhomechallenge shenanigans. #quaranteam

Check back in another month or two to find out if we finally get that perfect family photo 💕👶🏻🧔🏻👩🏼🐶 because at the moment, these little ones can’t sit still. #toddlerlife #puppylife #lovesofmylife #bouncingoffthewalls

Last week, my besties and I were texting about motherhood, about our kids, about traveling with kids, about life with kids. Our conversation transitioned into hypothetical concerns — as parents, what would we do if something unfortunate happened to us? How would our little ones be taken care of? Have we designated guardians? Organized assets & finances? Funeral arrangements? Life insurance?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Setting up a will & trust has been on the Luna family to-do list since Ethan was born. Jordan and I finally got around to it this month and it took us less than an hour to setup through @trustandwill. It gives us some peace of mind knowing that Ethan’s future is organized and arranged should anything happen to us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The tragic news of Kobe & his daughter (and the other passengers who suffered onboard) has become a stark reminder of how our days on Earth are precious and numbered. 💔💔💔 Let’s hold those we love closely with great big arms and with great big hearts.

These chocolate espresso cookies didn’t come out too bad! Jordan says I need to work on the chip count ratio...I tend to be stingy with the morsels so that the cookies don’t come out too sweet. The next batch hopefully will be better. 🍪🥛🍪 #tollhousetribe #nestletollhouse #sundaysweets

At times if we’re lucky, Ethan naps through our sit-down meals and we get an hour of uninterrupted, glorious gluttony. And then there are times where we have 15 minutes to sit beachside at a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta to enjoy ice-cold Pacificos, fresh chips & salsa, guacamole, beans, melted queso, Spanish sausage, and sizzling beef & chicken fajitas before Ethan gets restless and throws a tantrum.
