These are just some shots from around the city on our second day. I’ll be posting more from Central Park and the 9/11 Memorial in their own post. Because then it’s just too many pictures in one blog entry, and you’d be scrolling for days. Ain’t nobody got time for that. One of my favorite…
Don’t worry, Gadoo had a fantastic cat-sitter. And I’m sure he was happy to have a break from defending his life against the 2 year old. Our trip started with a red eye flight into Newark and we finally arrived in the actual New York City around 7am. Which is 4am California time! You betta…
The weeks leading up to our trip to New York were filled with dread and second thoughts and what the hell are we thinking?!? Every time Paul and I talked about it, we’d look at each other with true, deep fear in our eyes and debate calling the whole thing off. New York frickin’ City.…
I have been feeling pretty burned out. For awhile. No matter how many adventures Stevie and I had, or how many friends I entertained, or how many summer adventures were planned, all I can think about lately is how tired I am. And how much I want to cancel every therapy and appointment and just…
The last time we went to Mammoth, I was very, VERY pregnant. Like 8 months pregnant. Like the kind of pregnant where people ask if you are having twins and “are you actually going to get bigger than this?” kind of pregnant. You know, the most flattering, heavenly I mean, the most uncomfortable, can’t-wait-to-get-this-baby-outta-me part of…
Oh, the Poppy Festival! Two whole days of music, art, food and fun to celebrate the state flower of California! Except the state flower of California chose not to make an appearance. Again. Last year we went to the poppy reserve expecting to see a vast field of orange flowers as far as the eye…
In case you hadn’t heard, driving from SoCal to Southern Mizz is no joke. I’m just going to start calling Missouri “Mizz”. Because why not. We rented a minivan, or – as my stepdad likes to call it – a Mormon Assault Vehicle so that we could have a little more space. Five hours into…
This post is a little difficult for me to write without getting a bit choked up. We just returned from an amazing weekend in Sacramento visiting family – I only wish it were under different circumstances. My dear Aunt Sheila has been sick with breast cancer. This is her second battle with it in the…
This day was just nuts. Paul and I must have been off our game, because everything seemed to go wrong. We had a great time when it was all said and done, obvi, but wouldn’t blame our friends if they never wanted to hang out with us again! They were visiting from Utah and had…
Pleather leggings. How do we feel about these? I was very shy to wear them at first because my husband had a rather… unique expression on his face when I brought them home. And I didn’t just buy one pair, I bought two. He cringed and said they looked like I was wearing someone else’s…
