Stay-cation Day #3: Long Beach I picked up my other nephew, Luke, from the airport on Monday morning. We flew him in from Missouri so that he wouldn’t miss any of the fun. Then we figured a sort of low-key place to hang out is the aquarium. All 3 boys seemed to really enjoy it.…
Stay-cation Day #2: Disneyland! (You knew this was coming right?) We actually went to Disneyland twice during this stay-cation. I know, it sounds nuts. My sister and I just knew that when we went with a bigger group, we wanted to be flexible and not feel like we had to squeeze everything in. So we…
There are going to be a bunch of Going Places posts coming up since we had a busy little week over here! My sister and nephew came to visit. Of course we had a great time. You’ll see. For now, let’s start with Saturday at the Farmer’s Market. It’s become a weekend tradition of ours…
I really have no business writing about anything that goes on in a kitchen. But at least you know if I spent time in there and made something, its going to be super easy. I would like to dedicate this post to avocados. Earth’s most perfect fruit. They’re a fruit right? I love them so…
Sometimes I go to weddings. And sometimes I don’t have time to shop for events like that. And sometimes, I’ll remember that I bought a dress at H&M about 4 years ago that still has the $20 sale tags attached. Sometimes I wish I had tried the dress on sooner, so I could have seen…
Once in awhile, Paul has to work weekends. And when he doesn’t, it seems like I do! Weekends where we just relax are pretty rare these days. This particular weekend, he had a real estate shoot. I wouldn’t normally go with him, but we figured since it was in beautiful Newport Beach, he could quickly…
I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes I get stuck in a style rut. Some days being dressed at all is a huge accomplishment. Well, instead of calling it a “rut” I prefer to just say I’m wearing my uniform. I wear some variation of this outfit pretty much every day. My closet is a…
If you know me at ALL, you know I’m a Dave Matthews Band superfan. We’ll just leave it at that, so I don’t expose the maximum capacity of my nerdiness right now. For their most recent music video to the beautiful song “Mercy”, they reached out to all the fans to submit content. They asked…
Last week, as you may know, sucked. The therapies and the orthotics and just some of the day to day… feeling ridiculously overwhelmed. I had several people tell me I needed to give myself a break. I needed to take time for myself away from Stevie. I needed to remember to do things for myself…
This time we went to the Orange County Fair. And daddy got to join us! We mostly wanted to go a little closer to the coast so we could have some nice cool weather. That did not work out in our favor. It was hotter than Satan’s armpit. Shaved Ice was a necessity. But we…
