It’s been awhile since I’ve taken Stevie anywhere new, because… well… you know. Stevie. I almost said “he’s too unpredictable”, but actually, no. That’s wrong. He is so predictable that I know we’re not going to have that much fun. So I’ve been sticking to the usual activities that involve trains and playgrounds and… I guess…
OCTOBER. October 2014. Let’s all think about what we were doing back in October… Well, I can tell you that’s when we started the process to get Stevie supplemental MediCal insurance! Never mind the fact that nobody told us he could have received it the last 4 years, since his first heart surgery. That’s the kind of stuff that…
I was so spoiled last week when I got a visit from two of the prettiest ladies you ever did see! The last time we all hung out together, Trina and I were both pregnant. FIVE YEARS AGO. Too long. So… Mission Mommy Break commence. I was a little worried with Stevie’s schedule that I wouldn’t be…
When I had a reader email me asking what to bring on vacation to Southern California, it was one of those forehead smacker moments like HELLO! Of course I can help with that! Why didn’t I think of this before? So if I was visiting me, this is what I’d bring – and it would work whether…
You know you’re with a group of experienced moms when your son barfs at the lunch table and nobody even bats an eye. Stevie’s favorite phrases include, but are not limited to the following: Stevie farted! Stevie burped! Stevie farted on mom’s face! (What!!) And of course he says them all at the most embarrassing times.…
About 80% of the food and snacks I’m eating are “spicy”. At least that’s what I tell my son, so I don’t have to share. I have such limited time these days, it takes me 3 mornings to give myself a pedicure. One day to remove nail polish, one day to buff and tidy up…
After I posted this picture, one of my Instagram friends said “OK, now you’re just showing off! Nick KrooooooollllllOK yeah, maybe a little. I just had no idea what to expect when we started going to these screenings. We were kind of thinking it sounded interesting. Maybe we’d check out one or two. But they keep getting…
We have struggled with Stevie’s sleep patterns since day one. I mean, I know babies don’t sleep, but if you followed my blog all these years, you’ll know Stevie has been a rotten sleeper well past the newborn stage. An exhausting combination of health problems, restlessness and EVERY failed sleep-training method known to man, and…
I’m tempted to buy one of those hand-held tally counters and track how many times a day Stevie says “no”. I’m guessing it’s close to 40 gajillion. I’m super annoyed that the local pools don’t open until end of May. It’s been hot for 2 years straight! I need waaaater. And before you tell me…
I’m about 6 weeks into my Spring Capsule, which leaves about 6 weeks to go. This seems like a good point in the season to analyze where I’m at and make sure I’m getting the most out of my wardrobe. I have a few pieces that are not working for me. Yes, I might have gained…
