Little Steverino and I just took a trip 1,300 miles from home. I would venture to say it was quite a success! Honestly, I was pretty nervous to: a) take him on the plane for the first time b) maintain my pumping schedule c) drive 4 hours in the car with him d) have him…

Road Trip
We had a plan. My husband got 2 weeks off from work. We were gonna go to Southern Utah to visit the family for the weekend and then spend (at least) one night in Vegas so we could take advantage of the warm weather lounging by a fabulous pool. Our plans changed. The season premier…
Star Tours 2.0
Does anyone else remember how AWESOME Star Tours was when it first opened? I remember as a kid riding it over and over and over again. I came off the ride with big excited eyes and just couldn’t wait to do it again! As the years went on, that excitement diminished quickly. It got to…
Finns, False Labor, & Christmas Spirit
What a week we have had here in little ol’ Burbank. My cousin and his girlfriend from Finland came to visit for about 10 days, so I did my best getting them to see all Southern California has to offer – which mostly meant that I dropped them off places and let them sightsee, while…
Mammoth Mountain
This last weekend, we had the chance to get outta dodge and go visit some nature. Same cabin as last year and it was just great. We had snow in the hills and it was plenty cold. We did some beer (and root beer) tasting, watched a lot of TV, went to the tippy top…
The Events
OK, so let’s talk about what we did while the cutest nephew in the world was visiting. (I should mention that my sister was here too. I know she sometimes gets overshadowed by the cuteness of the kid, but she is fun to be around too! She’s such a good mom and likes to have…
Finland: In a Nutshell
I can’t believe we’ve already been home for 3 weeks. I mean we were in Finland a month ago. Crazy. Traveling to Finland was a bit like time travel to me. We left our house at 4am on Tuesday and arrived in Helsinki at 10am on Wednesday. I swear I saw the sunset and the…
Holy Crap! We Just Went to Finland!!
What a great experience! My Mom grew up in Finland, and I still have a good chunk of family that lives there. I went once when I was about 2 years old, but obviously don’t remember it at all. My cousin got married, so it was just the perfect excuse for me and hubs to…
Our WI Favorites
Our buddies from Wisconsin came for their annual summer visit. We just love when they are here. They kept this pregnant lady on her toes as we toured all around town. We saw LACMA, the Downtown L.A. Art Walk, the Getty, and spent some time with family as well. One is going off to college…
Allergy Season
Well it’s THAT time of year again. Allergy season. Ugh. Same story as this time last year. I’ve been changing the sheets regularly, we just changed our carpet not too long ago, so the only thing I can think of is maybe it’s time for a new mattress. But then again, I have the allergies…
