Blah. To put things very plainly: I am struggling. Big surprise, I know. Like when is this chick ever not struggling?! I’m with you! Get it together already lady! Eh, this past week with Stevie… do I even say? It sucked. To the point where I couldn’t find the funny in it anymore. Tantrum in…
Hello, my name is Jaana and I may have just overdone it on the self tanner. Paul and I had a date night a few weeks back. We saw Whiplash and then ate Hot Dog on a Stick at the mall like a couple of gosh darn teenagers. It was pretty perfect. There’s no feeling quite…
Making: Stevie do all sorts of things he hates. Cooking: is for the birds. Drinking: the non-dairy Tropi-Kale smoothie from Robek’s. Reading: Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site Wanting: another tattoo. Looking: for a chambray romper that won’t break the bank. Playing: a few new DVD’s hoping one will catch Stevie’s interest. Deciding: on therapies for Stevie. Enjoying: spring blooms in…
I’ve never done a breakdown of all my clothes on the blog before. I’m kind of excited to share!

Obviously things slowed down significantly in Madison. Well, most things. Stevie was still go, go, go and wanted to play on the stairs pretty much the entire stay. Super fun for everyone, taking shifts catching whatever he felt like throwing down at the moment. The stuff vacation dreams are made of, I’m telling you. But…
Oh Chicago. Another city crush. You all know I am a huge fan of New York, but Chicago is up there too. It’s like the preppy little sister to rockin’ NYC. Lots of good shopping, eating and city fun while still looking so pretty and friendly. Stevie likes the hustle and bustle of the city too. Cars…
Hey all! We made it back to hot Los Angeles! Overall we had a really good trip visiting family in 3 different states. Man, we are ambitious on vacation – now we need an actual vacation to recover. Day one. Oh, day one. Boy do I have a story for you! But I’ll start at…
Even though most of the country is in a warming trend and starting to see glimpses of Spring, just a week ago much of the Midwest was still in an arctic freeze. So imagine my nerves as we headed out to Chicago, Wisconsin and Missouri to visit family. I was prepared (and kind of excited)…
