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…
Beach Day —> Stevie’s first movie —> Working —> LA Heart Walk —> Engagement Party It was one of those weekends where you almost feel like you just went from one event to another, stopping home solely to change clothes, maybe start a load of laundry, and then continue on. We somehow sneaked in watching…
Making: friendship bracelets. not giving up. Cooking: quinoa. Drinking: la croix pamplemousse. Reading: old magazines from my sissy. Wanting: to learn a new skill. Looking: a little Bieberish this morning. Playing: old stuff from Shelby Lynne. Deciding: on a waterproof phone case. Wishing: more of the kids in Stevie’s class were verbal so he could practice…
In just 6 days, our little family will be participating in the LA Heart Walk once again. Last year we had so much fun and believe it or not, I was the top fundraiser for the event. This means only one thing – our friends, family and supporters are awesome. This year, I did not set…
Paul and I got the surprise of a lifetime last week with a positive pregnancy test! There were tears and hugs and nerves. I mean nerves is an understatement. I was terrified. We haven’t been trying, but we haven’t been trying not to either. With Stevie being such a challenge, I am obviously very realistic…
Well, the old husband is catching up to his lady. 36 today! Happy birthday honey! I know I sing his praises every year on my blog, and this year will be no exception. He’s just the best. He gets a lot of flack for not being “fun” in the typical sense. And for sometimes leaving…
I have been so terrible about toting my camera around and, in turn, terrible about updating our goings-on around here. But of course we’ve kept plenty busy over the last couple months. If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these, so move along. Or look again if you feel like it. Before it got…
Making: Stevie do all sorts of things he hates. Cooking: is for the birds. Drinking: the non-dairy Tropi-Kale smoothie from Robek’s. Reading: Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site Wanting: another tattoo. Looking: for a chambray romper that won’t break the bank. Playing: a few new DVD’s hoping one will catch Stevie’s interest. Deciding: on therapies for Stevie. Enjoying: spring blooms in…
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…
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!…
