My son has never liked stuffed animals or anything with a really soft texture like that. Sensory overload!! You can imagine a mother’s disappointment as she, while pregnant, decided to stock up on all the adorable, soft, furry, fuzzy toys and blankets in hopes that one of them would become his favorite. I thought for…
It’s quite difficult to get my makeup to look right after a jog because my face is bright bright pink for at least an hour. Stevie usually embarrasses me when we go out in public, but having guests stay in our home for a week really made me realize how ridiculous he is. Let’s just…
You may or may not know that my roots are Finnish. Insert joke here: “Finnished with what?” I know, knee slapper. Anyway, my mom is from Finland and that’s where my weird name comes from too. We still have family there, and every few years, we are very fortunate to see them. This time around,…
Well, I did it! Chopped off all. that. hair. Here are some ridiculous selfies from right after my appointment! I wasn’t that scared going in, because I had already gone though a range of emotions and fears over this decision. So silly that I get all tied up over hair. Seriously though? Knots in my…
Sometimes Stevie just wakes up too dang early. Like the kind of early where the birds aren’t chirping, there’s no daylight, and we just know we will all be exhausted the rest of the day. And it’s one thing to be exhausted, but it also throws off the whole nap/eating schedule thing that we’ve worked…
Sometimes it is crazy how many things we can fit into a Saturday. Part of that is due to the fact that we are up and at ’em by 7am these days, instead of noon. We kind of amaze ourselves when we can make a Goodwill drop, eat brunch, get haircuts, visit Target… and there’s still half the…
Once in awhile, Stevie will catch a glimpse of that cute kid in the mirror and stop whining at me for a minute to say hi. This particular time, I couldn’t get over how long his legs have gotten! That happened overnight, and I’m certain he could step over the moon if he tried. [youtube]BIjOpCEMfR8[/youtube]
I have accidentally stolen a case of Diet Coke on several different occasions, because I forgot it was sitting in the bottom of the cart. I have only returned it once. I’ve always wanted to try working as a camp counselor. Specifically for fat camp. I think it sounds so fun. I often fantasize about moving…
This is not Stevie’s first time eating spaghetti. Not being much of a cook {ahem, what?!} it gets made often in our house. And that’s an understatement. But this is the first time he’s wanted to try eating it by himself. I got such a kick out of watching. There was not much eating going…
I’m sure you guys have all seen some of the adorable mantle displays out there. And some people are so impressive to change their mantle decor with every season or holiday! I am not one of those people. In fact, my mantle has been the same since the dawn of time. There’s nothing wrong with…
