What kid doesn’t love a blanket fort?! Well… mine will have to warm up to the idea. But I am sure eventually he’ll learn to love it! I coaxed him into our little hideaway by putting his fire truck in there. He left immediately. I pulled him back in and giggled at his electric hair. Then…
It is not often I do 2 blog posts in one day, but I’m pretty amped about this one. My apologies in advance for my “excited voice” (again). But this moment was so worth it! I know it seems like a simple enough task. Stevie needs to pull two items apart. What you don’t know…
My hairstylist is gonna kill me when she sees this! I’m sure I do it all wrong. And I look like I’m going to trim my eyelashes instead of my bangs. What can I say? I like to live on the edge. So far, it has worked out okay…
Stevie doesn’t take interest in much, so when I noticed that he was imitating the sound of fire trucks going by, I really tried making it a thing. Whenever I hear a fire truck, I ask him “Did you hear that?” (In my best Buddy the Elf voice). And whenever we see one, I take…
If you thought the back seam on my curtains was bad, wait til you see this…. I’ve really wanted a cute clock for our cute patio, but I don’t like any of the outdoor clocks I’ve seen. I thought maybe I could just take a super simple one and paint it to my liking… And…
This jacket with pleather sleeves. Oh, it was love at first sight. Then someone referred to them as pleeves. And I loved it even more. This outfit looks a little fussy, but at home when I take off my boots & jacket, it’s quite comfortable. The shorts are too big, the tights are warm and…
We finally did it. A month after Stevie’s actual heart-iversary, we went to Disneyland to celebrate this little heart warrior. It was kind of fitting, actually, since we went during CHD Awareness Week. This was something Paul and I talked about doing while we were still in the hospital. Stevie was recovering, lying in the…
February 14th. Halfway through the month! Near the beginning of Spring! Today marks the end of CHD Awareness Week, and a little “holiday” known as Valentine’s Day. It’s hard to ignore Valentine’s Day. As hard as you try. And trust me, I really do try. I’m just soooo not a fan. Probably because I eat…
Pleather leggings. How do we feel about these? I was very shy to wear them at first because my husband had a rather… unique expression on his face when I brought them home. And I didn’t just buy one pair, I bought two. He cringed and said they looked like I was wearing someone else’s…
I have been into Abercrombie & Fitch once. The music blaring from the store is enough to keep me away. But I was sucked in by the $39 denim sale. (Actually looks like they are still on sale, #damnthisshoppingdiet!) These jeans looked super super skinny on the shelf, so I bought them a size up.…
