Oh man, when I think about those early days as a mom and how much I was struggling, how much I was in survival-mode, it brings tears to my eyes. And I guess it wasn’t actually just the early days, but intermittently throughout Stevie’s little life. I have always taken the challenges head on, but…
We had Stevie’s first pee-in-a-cup-in-the-car experience. It went surprisingly well. I just felt weird throwing it away after? Like what do you do with a cup of pee? My new favorite iPhone game is called Lettercraft. I can’t play at night though because I get so riled up that I can’t sleep. Almost like watching too…
If you are a normal person, you are a fan of Autumn. I’m only semi-normal and even I obviously love Autumn. Or maybe I really love the idea of Autumn, considering how hard I have to work to pretend like we’re experiencing Autumn in some way. Sweating in my flannel shirt, drinking hot cocoa with the A/C blasting,…
CAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRS! (He can’t take credit for the arrangement, but he liked watching…)Stevie started a new behavioral therapy a few weeks back and – dare I say – I think it’s helping? It’s mostly providing us with tools to learn how to handle him and his difficult outbursts. And it seriously goes against every natural mothering…
Sometimes just being in the car alone for an hour feels like a full on vacation. I was super stoked to get Stevie back to swim lessons twice a week – and then forgot I had scheduled him for swim lessons twice a week. My weight in real life is now less than what I…
Making: coffee. Cooking: quinoa and black beans constantly. Drinking: the biggest green tea that Starbucks offers. Reading: Max the Brave every night. Wanting: clogs. Looking: old and tired. Playing: 90’s jams Wishing: away my wrinkles. Positive thinking has to count for something right? Enjoying: when Stevie wants to go to the train park. It’s weird,…
What is it about The Walking Dead?? Holy cow, Paul and I have never binge watched a show like this before. It’s hard to turn it off! We had to start limiting ourselves to 2 episodes a night because after 3 episodes, it started giving us weird dreams and bouts of depression over the apocalypse.…
This post is just to answer some specific questions I’ve gotten from readers. So here we go! How did you identify the biggest culprits and decide where to start first? After watching FedUp and talking to friends who were experiencing big changes, I just knew I wanted a piece of that. So I first asked around.…
Wut iz fall? Somehow Justin Bieber and I always end up with similar haircuts. I’m pretty sure he’s copying me. 80% of our belongings are in storage right now as we get ready to move, and it’s been a huge wake-up call – seeing how much we actually DON’T miss or need that stuff. I…
While Stevie was sick and we were going on multiple daily walks, he started showing some interest in picking up sticks and leaves. He would say “I WANTASTICK” and upon finding a good one, he’d say “IMAKEEPDIS”. This made my mom-of-a-boy heart soar. Not only because he was showing interest in something, anything new, but because this…
