Sunday was the big day! The Congenital Heart Walk of Greater Los Angeles. The event that I haven’t shut up about. The event that I’ve been raising money for. The event that will help fund more CHD research, which we desperately need. You know. That one. You probably donated a couple bucks! There were a LOT people there!…
Let me tell you a little something about taking a 3-year old to the beach. Actually, I should clarify. Because I have seen plenty of Instagram photos and Facebook posts where 3-year olds are having an amahzing time at the beach. So, correction: Let me tell you a little something about taking MY 3-year old to the beach. (and a…
I’ve only been to Underwood Family Farms at Halloween time to pick pumpkins. But I had never been to their smaller farm in Somis. It was so nice! The weather was pleasant and the berries were ripe. We were on the late side for blueberries, so there wasn’t much to speak of. But the strawberries!…
We are doing so much better today. I mean, yes I’m kind of exhausted. It is not easy keeping a busy body like Stevie at home to recover. I feel my battery completely drained by the end of the day. Which I guess isn’t that different from most days. But I actually got a good…
We are home. Fast, right?! We woke up at 4:15 am and made it home by 10:30 am. Sounds easy enough! Oh but it’s not. There’s so much more. What you didn’t see was all the tears and prayers these past weeks leading up to this. All the doubts going back and forth between my…
I’m sure all first-time parents do this to some extent. We have these expectations, and these rules, and this big list of nevers. When I’m a mom, I’ll never say this. When I’m a dad, I’ll never do that. When I’m a parent, I’ll be the best. I did it. A lot. I’d look at…
You may have seen on Facebook that I’m participating in the Congenital Heart Walk taking place on here at Griffith Park on June 29th. I’ve never been involved in anything like this before, so I’m pretty excited to see what it’s all about. I’m part of the Hye Hearts Team and we are looking to raise…
Stevie’s Godfather has been staying with us the last week and he’s so great with Stevie in the mornings, I invited him to move in. Is there anything worse than DIY projects made with old denim? I mean look at these! Unless it’s distressing or cutting off, just let those jeans go. Nobody needs a hanging…
June. Really? This past year kinda felt like a never-ending summer, only because it never seemed to cool off here in Southern California. The rest of the country was in a polar vortex all winter and we were sweating our buns off. But besides the weather, that summer feeling is starting to roll around again. For me, that means…
