Even when I don’t have much to say, there is nothing better to me than a quiet morning after a good rain when I can sit down with my laptop to write at my desk. We have old beautiful windows that let in just enough sunlight and shadow to dance on the walls and illuminate…
What is Normal
The week has been like many others of the past year: somehow so busy yet so boring at the same time. We got a glimmer of hope in the news hearing that Disneyland and baseball stadiums would be allowed to open in April, as long as the numbers stay low. While they’d only be allowed…
Thoughts on Grace
Behind the blog scenes, I’ve been trying to work on my rough drafts throughout the week to have a post ready for publishing on Saturday or Sunday. But today, I had to start from scratch. I haven’t felt pulled to write publicly these past several days, even though I’ve been journaling regularly in private. One…
Boring
I honestly wasn’t even sure this boring week was worthy of an update. While much of the country has been in winter turmoil, our days in sunny Southern California have been uneventful and predictable at best. And while normally, the monotony drives me bonkers, I can also recognize when boring is a good thing. We…
Heart Update
First order of business is a heart update! On Monday, Stevie had a cardiology appointment. His heart history is kind of a lot. There are plenty of posts dedicated to it: like this one, this one, and this one. It was such a major part of our lives his first few years. For now, we…
Goals in Retrospect
I had a few small accomplishments this past month that I didn’t plan. They just sort of transpired when my energy and mindset happened to align with the stars and rainbows and universe. It makes me want to go back and write down some goals in retrospect, just so I can cross them off. Anybody…
Week in the Life
Hello! It’s been awhile! Hope everybody is staying well out there. We have been good-ish. Given the circumstances. I’m happy to report for this Week in the Life, all is well on the health and home front. We’re just dragging our butts through distance learning and trying to find little things to keep us busy…
Styling Session: Tunic Sweater
Why does blogging feel really hard again all of a sudden? Maybe I have run out of things to say finally. LOL nah. I think I’m just bored with my clothes. I’ve been remixing outfits since May! But the good news is I’m working on my F/W capsule so maybe that will energize my styling…
A Little Big Deal
Stevie!!!! If we know two things about Stevie, it’s that 1) he has fine motor delays and 2) he has always hated anything arts-and-crafts related. Even to the point that he got booted from summer camp when he was like 4 years old because he wouldn’t participate in the creative process. Haha. Over the past…
Weekend Vibes
We are lucky this weekend to have a few days that won’t be blazing hot. Don’t worry it’ll be back up in the upper 90’s real soon. And also don’t worry, our AC just broke. Eye rolls all the way to heaven. But today, just for today, we enjoyed a beautiful picnic lunch with our…
