5 More Friday Confessions

I cooked two whole times in one week.  Miracles do happen folks. Stevie has an eye surgery coming up.  The info packet and to-do list are sitting nicely on my desk, yet to be handled.  Don’t wanna. I find it hugely gratifying when people who are jerks in a shopping center end up with a crummy…

5 Minute Hair: Twisties

As requested (by like 2 people), here is a quick tutorial on possibly my favorite super easy short hairstyle for the upcoming summer months.  Pay no mind to the roots, that’s getting handled this weekend. [youtube]k4ag_sfJ9Ac[/youtube] For another option, this is a cute idea too.

Universal City Walk

As you may know, Stevie is not into surprises or changes in his schedule, so when I wanna go to CityWalk for lunch, I have to make sure he knows about it ahead of time.  Even still, he usually doesn’t want to participate in anything that is mom’s dumb idea.  But this particular day, he remembered…

My kid makes other kids cry because he won’t stop saying “hi” to them. For real. I stopped subscribing to magazines a couple years ago because it was turning into a “problem”.  Luckily I have neighbors with the same “problem” and I just read their magazines when they’re done! This week I’ve been eating a lot…

The Grammy Museum at LA Live

It’s been awhile since I’ve taken Stevie anywhere new, because… well… you know. Stevie.  I almost said “he’s too unpredictable”, but actually, no.  That’s wrong.  He is so predictable that I know we’re not going to have that much fun.  So I’ve been sticking to the usual activities that involve trains and playgrounds and… I guess…

Medi-Can't

OCTOBER.  October 2014.  Let’s all think about what we were doing back in October…  Well, I can tell you that’s when we started the process to get Stevie supplemental MediCal insurance!  Never mind the fact that nobody told us he could have received it the last 4 years, since his first heart surgery.  That’s the kind of stuff that…

Girl Time in LA

I was so spoiled last week when I got a visit from two of the prettiest ladies you ever did see! The last time we all hung out together, Trina and I were both pregnant.  FIVE YEARS AGO.  Too long.  So… Mission Mommy Break commence.  I was a little worried with Stevie’s schedule that I wouldn’t be…

Minimalist Packing List for a CA Vacation

When I had a reader email me asking what to bring on vacation to Southern California, it was one of those forehead smacker moments like HELLO!  Of course I can help with that!  Why didn’t I think of this before? So if I was visiting me,  this is what I’d bring – and it would work whether…

You know you’re with a group of experienced moms when your son barfs at the lunch table and nobody even bats an eye. Stevie’s favorite phrases include, but are not limited to the following: Stevie farted! Stevie burped! Stevie farted on mom’s face! (What!!) And of course he says them all at the most embarrassing times.…

About 80% of the food and snacks I’m eating are “spicy”.  At least that’s what I tell my son, so I don’t have to share. I have such limited time these days, it takes me 3 mornings to give myself a pedicure. One day to remove nail polish, one day to buff and tidy up…
