Stevie has been doing great the last few weeks. His walking has tripled since Thanksgiving, no joke He is still clumsy as hell, but not for lack of trying. (Videos coming soon.) He spends a good majority of his days chasing poor Gadoo around the house… And I couldn’t be happier about it, while Gadoo…
In true me-fashion, I had to squeeze in one more thing before Paul headed back to work after the holiday break. I figured with the Los Angeles Zoo being so close, we might as well take Stevie to see how he would like it. I didn’t really have high hopes. I remembered taking my nephew around this age,…
Every year. It’s inevitable. I know it’s going to happen. But every year, I feel the same way. Once the holidays are over and I see Christmas trees kicked to the curb and the city lights coming down, I need to take a moment and just be blue. The whole town just feels… different. Then…
At first I didn’t make any official New Year’s resolutions for 2013. But I changed my mind. This is major you guys. Ready? I am giving up clothes shopping for the next 12 months. I kind of cringe putting in writing. I was inspired by one of my friends who accomplished this. I often thought there…

– I can no longer call them freckles. Let’s face it, they’re age spots. – A 15 minute nap can change your life. – I never thought I’d say this. EVER. But coffee is goooood (with lots of sugar). – I will (and did) gain weight when I don’t walk or ride a bike on a…
Jaana is my name and pattern mixing is my game! Since I have successfully posted 3 pattern mixed outfits, it basically means I am a professional. If I ever try different color palettes, then someone will just need to print out a certificate and start paying me. I would like my certificate to read: We…
December was busy in the best possible way. I really tried to do things to pick up my Christmas spirit and enjoy the season as a whole. Starting with a date night to the No Doubt concert at Gibson Amphitheater. Oh, so very fun. I was 16 again in my mind and danced my ass…
This year marked the 2nd Anniversary of our Annual Gift Bag Giving Extravaganza! I might be overstating it a tad. We really just get together with our friends, donate some items, assemble them in ziploc bags and drive around downtown Los Angeles in the designated Christmas Van to hand them out to the homeless. Most…
