I would like to formally introduce you to Fergus. Ohmygoodness isn’t he handsome! I pretend that his full name is Turd Ferguson Peltekian, TF for short. But he’s really just Fergus. Ferg. Fergle. Fergalicious. Fergie. Stevie calls him Bergus. He’s been with us for just a few days and already has 100 nicknames. We adopted…
Today…? Today, I think I should find a way to decompress. My inner introvert is screaming for some alone time. This last week, I was aiming for mother-slash-aunt of the year, and (besides one unnecessary outburst after calmly asking Stevie to go get his underwear 45 times and he still hadn’t done it) I feel like I came pretty close…
Nothing like hearing your kid shout “Mom! Penis!!” over and over while driving around because he can’t quite pronounce Prius. It’s gotta be the most common car in LA. I thought it was so weird that they sold succulents at the grocery store. Then I bought two. Because I have a problem. No but seriously,…
This Everlane shirt again, huh? Well, I have to tell you – the shirt and I have been through some stuff. Before I even wore the darn thing, I nearly ruined it with the iron. I was trying to steam it, but our iron is old and dirty and I just ended up squirting yellow…
Today marked our first day back at the wading pool. We have spent many, many, many summer afternoons at these shallow petri dishes around town, and I personally have a love/hate thing going. Still. On one hand, this activity was a treasure. When Stevie hated swim class, I could still bring him here. When I…
We know some pretty awesome people. And one of these awesome people hooked us up with free Legoland tickets. She had received them through work and knew she’d never use them, so she passed them along to Stevie (and me), lucky ducks! Now, if you are new to the blog, you may not already know…
Yesterday was great and awful, as so many days are. I had a few moments of quiet. Almost ruined my new Everlane poplin tee with the iron before I even had a chance to wear it. Thank goodness I was able to save my mistake. Once Stevie got home, it was quite a scene. He…
Three posts in one week?!! Don’t get used to it. I think the main motivation factor has been that I pretty much hate everything in my closet right now. Even with my mindset to have a small and useful wardrobe, I still have my days mkay? But doing these posts and photos reminds me that…
I have some friends on the interwebs who are good. Pretty, pretty good. After mulling over a name for this series for like 3 years, I put it out there on social media that I needed help – and BOOM! I was flooded with ideas. I still haven’t decided though. Haha. I think one of…
Many moons ago — when I somehow had time to write a proper blog post — I got the awesome opportunity to work with Caroline of the Unfancy blog. I was so excited to share with moms how I made my comfortable, casual minimal wardrobe work for me. I was definitely still learning a lot…
