Whenever I drive to Southern Utah, I have to take into account the LA —-> Vegas traffic. (Or vice versa.) Oh, it is the worst. What normally takes 6 hours can take 9. If at all possible, I avoid driving there on a Friday and driving home on a Sunday. It WILL take forever. Unfortunately,…
One day last week, I felt brave. I felt really brave. Brave enough to try taking Stevie to the beach. All by myself. I completely expected it to be a huge failure. In my head, it went a little something like this: We drive for 2 hours, haul all our stuff a mile to get…
Once a year, I guess Downtown Los Angeles closes its streets to normal traffic for several hours and opens it up to people who want to bike, walk, skate, whatever. This was a few months back, and we were able to get a good group of friends together and participate. We had such a great…
8:00am: Wake up and play with the tyke for a bit after Daddy feeds him breakfast. 9:30am: Decide that since it’s going to be such a lovely day, that we simply must make a trip to Disneyland. 10:00 am: Start getting ready. Pack some food in the stroller, get my fanny pack ready, and give…
I consider myself an Aunt to many, although I’m technically only an aunt to 2. My other set of nieces and nephews are actually my 2nd cousins. But lucky for me, when these little cousins, nieces, nephews, or whatever were in town, they called yours truly for some fun! We all had a great time and…
We had quite the eventful week over here. Not that things have slowed down since they left, but my cousin and his fiancee from Finland spent about 9 days with us. They visited last winter, about 3 days before I had the baby. I was huge and boring, but they still had so much fun,…
We are in the midst of a fun and crazy week with these kids: They came all the way from Finland and they want to see it all! Let’s do this.
We discovered this place last year through the recommendation of a friend who works near the farm. It is so awesome! They have a huge pumpkin patch, a wagon ride, train ride, petting zoo, face painting, scarecrow alley, corn maze, snow cones, etc. Everything that you love about fall all wrapped into one. Except for…
Those were my favorite things from our weekend getaway. We took a quick trip to Palm Springs. We reserved our hotel at the last minute and decided to just GO! It was the only weekend we had available before Stephen’s big surgery in October, so we had to jump on it. Palm Springs is hot.…
All I can say is “Holy Crap.” My new girl crush for sure. I saw her back in 2009, and of course she was great. But this time, she was even more polished and just plain ol’ fabulous. She canceled her show back in June, so when I saw that she was rescheduled for the…
