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…
Today is Friday right? Tuesday felt like Monday. Then Thursday felt like Friday. I don’t even know any more. The husband and I went to see Billy Joel at the Hollywood Bowl this week. I knew a lot more of his songs than I thought I would! Also, I thought a few of his songs were…
Well, true to form, I somehow make myself really busy and overwhelmed right before we have a big thing coming up. Stevie’s been approved for his eyelid surgery (1 of 2) scheduled for June 17th. A bunch of doctor appointments and pre-ops go along with that. And instead of trying to stay calm and keep…
What are the odds that I would have a baby shower in San Diego the same weekend that my Mom and step-dad would have a wedding to attend in San Diego? What a perfect excuse to get together and spend a lazy weekend in a hotel eating lots of food! Woohoo! We really didn’t do much. It…
On one of my Pinterest DIY’s, someone commented “I thought this was a bloated Miley Cyrus”. Well, joke’s on you kid, because I’m thirty-FIVE. So any day that I look like a 20-year old celebrity, bloated or not, is a good day in my book. How is everyone finding maxi dresses?! I have literally tried…
