So believe it or not, I didn’t take a bazillion pictures while we were up in San Francisco this last weekend. (Only about 200). But that’s only because I was really focused on shooting video – for what was sure to be an incredible piece of memorabilia from our trip. An amazing compilation of sun…
You know it’s hotter in Burbank right now than in the deserts of Southern Utah?! VETO. Pretending I have this power. Well, that Stevie… He and I had a good run. 3 days of joy and happiness before the attitude came back. I blame the weather. And the fact that he’s 2, I guess. If…
Brace yourselves, because I hardly think anyone could look at these and NOT smile… This was a failed attempt at splash pads (does anyone know if the Cerritos Park water toys work?)… that turned out to be SO. MUCH. FUN. These pictures were taken while Stevie was chasing me. Chasing me!! He didn’t know what…
I’ve had two very distinct summer moments this year. And they both fell on this last weekend of summer. Hey, I’ll take what I can get. After Stevie’s successful swim day, I was feeling happy and accomplished. As I drove home along the palm tree-lined streets of Burbank, I rolled down my windows and felt the…
I’m completely aware of how melodramatic this next statement is going to sound, and I have to say it anyway: Stevie and I just had the most wonderful day ever. My cheeks still hurt from smiling so hard. Stevie woke up early from his nap, so I decided I wanted to try the wading pool in…
I stopped eating dairy for the most part back in January, and my allergies have almost completely gone away. Isn’t that crazy?! But once in awhile you just HAVE TO have a piece of cheese, don’t you? I was just reminded by Stevie’s teacher that it’s a holiday weekend! But not much to be excited…
There’s a reason I don’t have many In The Kitch posts. And you may think it’s because I just don’t like cooking. Which is true. But it’s also because it is farkin’ impossible with Stevie. Even this simple dish took farkin’ forever and all it required was some chopping. But 45 minutes of chopping and…
My allergies from last week turned into a lovely sinus infection this week. And Stevie has some weird bug now too, so we’ve been trapped here together for the last couple days. As you probably guessed, it’s been going greeeeat. Fevers and barf and lots of tears. The fever and barf are his, the tears…
(image from the children’s primary hospital blog) This article was written by Molly Clark with the Social Security Administration. She emailed me and asked if I would share some info on SSA Disability Benefits for parents who have kids with Congenital Heart Defects. Stevie does not receive these benefits, but I feel like if there’s any…
Most of our day at the Ventura County Fair looked like this: But there were a few glimmers of enjoyment in there too. From fire trucks to sheep with bangs to deep fried oreos. Stevie and I? We fight. We have fun. We fight. We have fun. Keeping up with a two year old’s roller…
