To the best mom & grandma MJ!!! I love you so much!!!

Mother’s Day is one of my favorite holidays because it’s a special day to honor my role model and best friend. As I’m counting the days until I finally get to be a mother, I’m a bit nervous and anxious but also excited knowing that I learned from the very best. My mom is a strong and ambitious career woman that despite her busy schedule and the millions of things she has going on, she still manages to put family first and continues to look out for us every day. Motherhood is a gift and I know after watching my mom do it, it’s not easy especially when trying to balance a career. I’m honored to follow in her footsteps and make her proud like I am of her.

Kourtney, my sister, best friend, and mentor has also taught me so much about motherhood from being the most incredible mom to Mason and Penelope. She is super woman with her ability to effortlessly balance work with taking care of two amazing kids and I am so lucky to have her as my guide and confidant as I too become a mother.

And also my wonderful grandma MJ, such a strong and inspirational woman in my life! I love you so much!

Make sure to tell your mom how much you appreciate her, not just on Mother’s Day but often. We love our mommas! To all the expecting moms and moms out there, have a blessed day! Xo

I found these pics of the family on Thanksgiving.

Found this old pic of me when I was little with my Grandma MJ. I posted it on Facebook a couple days ago and everyone was saying how much I look like Mason in this pic and how much my Grandma MJ looks like my mom!

Yesterday the whole family took Mason to the San Diego Zoo!! He loved seeing all the animals and we had so much fun spending some quality family time together. It’s so nice to get out of LA for a short trip and spend time with Grandma MJ, who I don’t get to see as much as I’d like. I too a bunch of pics at the zoo that I’ll be posting soon!

Today is my Grandma MJ‘s birthday!!! She is honestly the best grandma ever, not to mention the most stylish woman I know. Every time I see her she always looks glam and fashionable!

This is one of my favorite pictures of us together. I love our matching red pants and knitted sweaters, LOL.

Happy birthday Grandma MJ! I love you so much!

On Father’s Day I spent the day with Grandma MJ before visiting my grandpa. How fab does my Grandma MJ look? She is always so glam and fashionable! It was so nice to spend the day with her, since I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like. Love you MJ!

My mom and I took MJ to Malibu to celebrate her birthday!

I love you so much MJ and am so happy I got to spend your birthday with you!

I looovveee this pic! My mom and Grandma MJ look so gorgeous and I’m loving our jackets. Khloe doesn’t look too happy, though LOL.

  

This is me and my grandma MJ in San Diego! I would always go visit her!! Love you MJ!

Before spending the day with Deepak my mom and I had breakfast with my
grandma MJ! MJ really is the cutest person alive! She is so stylish and
fun to be around! We ate on the water in Del Mar! Del Mar is the same
place my mom and my dad met when my mom was 17 years old. They met at
the Del Mar race track so I took a pic as we drove by. My dad was going
to law school in San Diego and my mom had just graduated high school! I had
always heard the story of how they met so it was really cool to see the
actual place!

On my way to San Diego, Frankie and I decided to surprise my grandma MJ!
She lives there along with my aunt Karen and my cousin Natalie. I called MJ to make sure she was home and luckily she was! My aunt Karen was there too! I was so excited to see them both and to see
how she had decorated her house. MJ loves to decorate and recently re-did
her whole house. Her home was my great grandmothers, so there are many
precious memories there.

This pic was taken when I was about four years old. Kourtney was five and Khloe was around one, probably not quiet one yet!

We were at my Grandma MJ’s house in San Diego! My grandma owns a children’s clothing store there and would always dress us in matching outfits from her shop!

She was the motivation for my mom and Kourtney to open up Smooch!

Check out our hearts on our dresses — perfect for Valentine’s Day weekend!

It’s our tradition for my grandma to give everyone a pair of matching pajamas on Christmas Eve so that we show up Christmas morning wearing them! We wake up at five a.m. and start opening presents! My little sisters must have been good this year because Santa brought them lots of goodies!

While I was in Milan, Italy, Kourtney, my mom and MJ went to Lake Como, my dad‘s favorite place!

Reggie slept in the hotel because he was exhausted and jet lagged, and I went to work for E! It’s so cool that the E! studios in Milan are so similar to the ones in Los Angeles!

Oh, and thank heaven they found my luggage after four days missing! Those brand new Chanel shoes that you see me wearing with the attached sock cuff were in that bag from Monaco! (I added my photo credit to the top of the photo so you can see the shoes better — ha!)

Venice is absolutely beautiful!! We drove there from Florence — about a two hour drive.

The water level rises about a centimeter every year in the famous canal-filled Italian city. So when it is high tide, you have to be careful of the steps because they are all covered in water!

We spent the day walking around then had an amazing dinner on the water.

Oh, this is funny: Look at the picture with all of us standing with the beautiful
background. You will notice that I am wearing socks with hideous sandals! That’s because my luggage got lost and I had nothing to wear!

My family and Reggie were
making fun of me all day! Ha ha!

Here are five awesome things to do if you ever find yourself in Venice:

1. Visit the Basilica di San Marco (a post on my visit to the square there is coming soon!)
2. Take a gondola ride, of course! I recommend the Grand Canal — that’s like the city’s main street. 
3. Get a room with a kitchen and cook a fresh catch from the fish market.
4. Take a lift up to the top of the basilica’s tall campanile.
5. The best window shopping is on the wide street, Calle Larga XXII Marzo.

During our first dinner in Monte Carlo, I discovered some new and interesting information about myself!

Being with my grandmother, we all were talking about my grandmother’s love life. Come to find out that my mom’s real father passed away in a car crash before we were born.

So Kourtney and I found out that my grandfather that we always called “papa” was really our step grandpa. He was married to my Grandma MJ for more than 30 years before he recently passed away.

He was German and Irish, so I always thought that I was half Armenian and quarter German and a quarter Irish!

But as we were digging down into our history we realized that on my mom’s side, she is Scottish and Dutch… So it turns out I am half Armenian (a quarter Turkish and a quarter Russian) and a quarter Scottish and a quarter Dutch!

Have you ever discovered important information about yourself that you could have never predicted? Let me know in the comments area!

Me, Kourtney, Mom and Grandma MJ went to a cocktail party at the Prime Minister’s house in Monaco!

The view was to die for! Look my pictures to see who we ran into…

Naveen Andrews and Jorge Garcia from ABC’s Lost were there (1st picture in the set) with a bunch of other dignified officials and generally fabulous people.

After cocktails we had dinner — yum!

So you know, we are here in Monaco for their annual film festival. But, as you can see, we are meeting a lot of amazing people along the way!

After hours on the plane and a stopover, we have landed in France!

My mom, Kourtney and Grandma MJ are all traveling with me. We first landed in London then took another flight to Nice. We got in at 10 p.m. and were starving so we went to go eat at the Cafe de Paris!

Stay tuned for more pictures from our stay in Monaco. I am so psyched because it’s absolutely gorgeous here!
