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…
I recently read a blog post that could potentially change my life. Within a a couple paragraphs, it felt like a beam of light burst above my head and my whole life suddenly made sense. Let me share this story – and you can just act like I wrote it, because it’s exactly how I…
When the cousins in Orange County invited us over for Fourth of July, we were pretty excited. Our holiday weekend last year was kind of a bust because we spent the whole day in traffic. This year, we would not make that mistake again, golldarnit! My husband had the brilliant idea to take the Surfliner train and…
So very grateful that Stevie’s eye is healing and we can go back to the local wading pools. They’re a freakin’ life saver because it requires very little effort from me. I just have to make sure he doesn’t jump, splash, or run the entire time. Because those are like the easiest rules ever for kids to…
