Over the weekend, we got news that my Grandpa Bill passed away. It wasn’t exactly a shock, mostly because he was 97 years old. Amazing right?! But it still tugs at my heart strings to think he is gone. One of the few people I have known my entire life. We grew up on the…
Have you guys seen that mom jeans are making a comeback this spring? I am really torn about this trend. They look like boyfriend jeans with a much higher waist. Maybe they would keep the cupcake-top under control? Yeah, I don’t eat many muffins, so it’s definitely a cupcake-top. Or a potato chips-top. Can’t even tell…
Toward the end of last summer, I was asked to do a tutorial on how to create beachy waves for short hair. I thought since the season was nearly over, it was kind of pointless at the time. But then Southern California went and did the usual never-ending summer thing (bleh) so, I guess now is as good a time as…
Since it is CHD Awareness week, I thought I would write a little bit about some of my more difficult experiences as a heart mom and some things I would do differently if given the opportunity. I know, they say hindsight is 20/20. And I did the best I could at the time. I try…
Stevie wore a hat for the first time this weekend. I know it sounds silly, but it’s been a long awaited moment for me, for no other reason than it’s so stinkin’ cute. It was an LA Dodgers baseball cap and he only wore it because we all were wearing hats. In his own words “Mom…
Running late. Gotta get Stevie from school. Hurry hurry. Out the door. Crap forgot my phone. Can’t find my phone. Where is it? Seriously!! Stupid phone. Couch cushions! Nope. Charger! Nope. Oh well, guess I’ll worry about it later. It’s got to be somewhere around here. Cut to 2 hours later: Oh, it’s in my…
You guys! We had 2 good days in a row. Like really good days. Minimal tantrums, flexibility, smiles, cooperation. (I’m talking about Stevie, in case you were wondering. I know, I have my moments…) I don’t know where this boy comes from, but every once in awhile he shows up and we have such a…
You know, I seem to have a lot to say when it comes to Stevie. Or what we do day to day. Or things I’m struggling with as a mother/person. But today I’m going to share something that I’m just proud of. Gonna pat myself on the back a little bit. Hope ya’ll don’t mind!…
Well, well, well. 36. You are here. I don’t really know what to say. I mean, as I get older, there are so many mixed emotions about it. I think I talk about the contradictions and how weird it is every single year. Because it IS weird, man. Getting older is just plain weird. This…
These are perfectly good jeggings. (Spell check tells me “jeggings” is not a word, but we all know better, right? It’s a terrible word, but a word nonetheless.) And in fact, these jeggings are so perfectly good, that I might have a second back-up pair in storage. I was just ready to change up the…
