Perhaps you’ve read about my friend Heather before. She is one tough cookie – battling brain cancer (+some) and raising awareness all over social media for rare diseases like hers: Cowden Syndrome and Lhermitte-duclos Disease. Here is her latest attempt to get the word out. Shirts purchased will also help her pay medical bills. Hi everyone!…
Is it weird that I base what color to paint my nails each week on what the cast of Girl Meets World is wearing? I can’t remember the last time I watched a movie all the way through. So when Stevie was with his Tati last weekend, I planted my butt on the couch and…
Ooooh, we had such a weekend planned! For Stevie, it meant a trip to San Diego with his Tati, a two-night stay at his Hokur Tina’s house, swimming, eating and a day at SeaWorld to top it all off. (Spare me the lectures on the Shamu stuff. I wouldn’t dare talk his aunts out of this…
When we eat out, I always forget the doggy bag. I’m pretty impressed with myself when I remember my purse, the kid and all his accouterments, but the dang doggy bag! Most of the “play dates” I arrange are actually with parents I want to hang out with. Tough nuggets if the kids aren’t really friends.…
Oh photo projects. I can’t. I gave up. Bored. Oh well. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Taking Stock, so let’s do that! I originally found the list on the Meet Me at Mike’s blog. Thanks for checking in. Here’s some iPhone snaps from the week, because what’s a blog post without photos? // stevie painting…
I took a Benadryl specifically so I could eat a stick of cheddar cheese. I decided to eat some other dairy products too, just to make it worth my while. #yolo Stevie has absolutely LOVED his therapeutic summer camp. Today was his last day, but he’s had such a blast. I wish it could go on forever! When…
This summer activity was kind of doomed from the start. I mean, Stevie took a nap in the car on the way, so I had high hopes. My only wish at that point was a no-poop-in-the-pool day! But it didn’t quite work out. Well, there was no poop (thanks God), but the rest of the afternoon went…
If you’ve read my blog for any time at all, you could probably gather that I’m kiiiind of a dork when it comes to living in Southern California. I love taking people from out of town on tours of the area, and usually get more excited than they do to see the landmarks (again). Wanna go…
I told Stevie to kiss my butt yesterday. And that was one of the nicer things I was thinking. I’m trying to teach him gratitude when I take him places, but he always just ends up so angry that we’re leaving. Like fall-on-the-floor-I’m-not-going-anywhere-lady angry. He’s almost too big to physically drag to the car. I…
If you grew up with a sister, I think you’ll agree. It’s pretty great. I’ve known this girl her entire life. There aren’t many people I can say that about. I remember really vaguely as a 5 year old, waking up one morning to be informed by Grandma that mom had gone to the hospital…
