We aren’t much for church worship in this family. But on Easter Sunday we worshiped the sun, the food, laughter and togetherness. (The kids mostly worshiped the candy.) We enjoyed a few Easter traditions. And mostly loved seeing the kids together. Stevie is never happier than when he’s with his cousins. I feel that spending…
The weather here is all over the place. A couple rainy days, followed by windy days, followed by heat from the devil. Then back to the pleasant sunny days we live here for. My wardrobe is seriously getting a workout. And, it is at this point in the post, that I owe my poor mother…
Sleep. Oh sweet sleep. It has never come easy for Stevie, thus making it difficult suck for us. And, in fact, I get paranoid talking about, blogging about it, thinking about it, out of fear of jinxing the luck. But here we go anyway. Paul came up with a new system. I was resistant at first.…
Oh Gadoo. You poor old sap. You really had the life didn’t you? You had a blonde, funny BFF who loved you and snuggled you and fed you and generally enjoyed your company. As her belly grew larger and larger, you had no idea what was in store. You thought that protruding pillow was for…
That moment when you start this week’s laundry only to realize you still haven’t put away the clean clothes from last week’s laundry. Blurg. I went shopping and found a really pretty spring jacket. As I waited in line to pay, an 80 year old woman came up behind me to wait in line –…
In a couple weeks, Paul will be transitioning over to a new show – a documentary style reality show about the LA Kiss football team. Did you know LA had a football team?! Neither did I. It’s owned by Mr. Gene Simmons himself and it’s part of the AFL (arena football league). They play indoors…
This weekend was one that I am not mentally prepared for to be over. Sure, nobody ever really wants Monday to roll around, but when you’re busy, the days all sort of blend together and what difference does it make if it’s Monday anyway? That’s been life for several months. But this weekend! Oh this…
I hate the playground. Couldn’t even tell you why, exactly. I just dread going there every day. And we go every. day. All I can do to keep my sanity is go to different playgrounds as much as possible. I have found if I have snacks with me, I am much more tolerant. On an…
week 9 // boy week 10 // infrequent flyer week 11 // wild ivy week 12 // sidewalk sights Making: jokes when I’m uncomfortable. Cooking: maybe once a week? Drinking: sticking with that almond champs. Reading: Los Angeles magazine. Wanting: another ArvoWear watch. I love mine so much and I’ve only had it a week.…
I watched TMZ Live for approximately 45 seconds yesterday, when I suddenly said out loud to myself “Is this a show?!” and changed the channel to Friends reruns. Sometimes when my nail polish starts chipping, I’ll just cut my nails shorter so I don’t have to re-polish right away. Traffic signs that say “Slow Down…
