It’s a lot of fun to take my nephew places. He has almost the exact opposite learning style of Stevie and you don’t have to convince him to do anything. He actually wants to learn and try and see it all. Well almost all. He is thoughtful and hesitant about certain things, but mostly, he…
Our trip to Sacramento was, of course, mainly to pay our respects to Aunt Sheila and spend time with family. But we also squeezed in some adventure. My cousin Mark said he didn’t want it to be a sad time, he wanted us to be celebrating. And he made it easy for us to enjoy our…
Even with diet and exercise, the closest I’ll ever get to a thigh gap is if I learn to do the splits. Jaana on 9 hours of sleep is a straight up hustler, man. I can accomplish so much! My worst nightmare arrived in mail form this week. Medi-Cal Redetermination Form. Due in a couple…
I wasn’t sure I was going to write about our trip to Sacramento. It was emotionally so overwhelming for me! I wasn’t expecting it at all. I’d be bawling over the loss of my aunt one minute, and cracking up with my cousins the next. But I realize that is all part of life, the ebb and flow,…
No silly Friday Confessions this week. Drove last night with tired eyes. And this morning we will spend with family. We came from all over, offering love and support to those who need it. Holding each other up. Remembering someone who had a beautiful soul and was taken from us much too soon. My…
DISCLAIMER: I say poop a lot in this one. Two years ago, we started introducing the idea of the potty. But I guess we’ve only been taking it more seriously the last year or so. And even more seriously the last couple months. And even more more seriously the last week. I can’t honestly say that…
Stevie has officially reached the WHY stage of life. He doesn’t care about the answer, just asks why? to every single statement that comes out of my mouth. It was sooo cute the first 14,387,942 times. True to form, when I decided this would be the Summer of Friendship Bracelets (!) I bought a giant pack…
Some days I’m not exactly sure what I’m thinking. Like am I trying to set myself up for failure? Am I looking for frustration? Or am I really that optimistic that I think Stevie and I will have fun at a theme park. I’m going to go with optimistic. And determined. And tenacious. Yes, yes…
No better feeling than gettin yer hair did, right ladies? I always feel like a celebrity for the first couple of hours after, especially because everywhere I go, people compliment the work that my stylist has done. She’s amazing! And here is a link to her info. I had a couple requests for pictures of…
I am more scared of the dark now than when I was a kid. The last couple weeks, I’ve been driving down to Orange County a lot for work, and the traffic has been awful! My GPS sends me on a scavenger hunt all around LA to places I’ve never even seen. And for some…
