How did THIS happen?! Do I actually have extra teeth in this photo? Well, since my husband is all kinds of cool, he got us passes for a screening… and then before I knew it, Conan was resting his big red head against my little blonde one and I was trying to keep my eyes from popping out…
Let’s wrap this trip up, yes? Day 7 had nothing exciting to report – just a travel day. We drove back to Chicago to take a flight to Kansas City to drive into Joplin, Missouri. And unlike the first part of our trip, the second part was all scheduled correctly, thankyouverymuch. The next day was spent…
Obviously things slowed down significantly in Madison. Well, most things. Stevie was still go, go, go and wanted to play on the stairs pretty much the entire stay. Super fun for everyone, taking shifts catching whatever he felt like throwing down at the moment. The stuff vacation dreams are made of, I’m telling you. But…
Oh Chicago. Another city crush. You all know I am a huge fan of New York, but Chicago is up there too. It’s like the preppy little sister to rockin’ NYC. Lots of good shopping, eating and city fun while still looking so pretty and friendly. Stevie likes the hustle and bustle of the city too. Cars…
Hey all! We made it back to hot Los Angeles! Overall we had a really good trip visiting family in 3 different states. Man, we are ambitious on vacation – now we need an actual vacation to recover. Day one. Oh, day one. Boy do I have a story for you! But I’ll start at…
I have been putting off taking Stevie to the Natural History Museum because… well, he’s Stevie. He has shown no interest in nature or history. The museum does not have cars. So I didn’t have high hopes. One of his teachers recommended I take him, so I figured we’d give it a shot. We braved…
So some people will surely scoff at this winter packing list. It is obviously not for a trip to say… Alaska. Or Minnesota. We are not going skiing here, ok? This packing list might be more appropriate for somewhere like St. George. Or Memphis. Does it snow in Memphis? I don’t know. Somewhere that it…
Stevie and I needed this day. BAD. The last two weeks with Stevie have basically been torture. And that’s putting it lightly. He is struggling with old and new behaviors. About a million tantrums a day. Lots of things that don’t make sense. Kind of out of control. Everything feels like it’s falling apart. Me,…
Bringing a giant scarf with me is one of the smartest traveling decisions I’ve ever made. It was easy to wear without using up my valuable arm space, it worked as a blanket when I was freezing on the plane, and when I got sleepy, I rolled it up and used it as a neck pillow. I…
Howdy-ho and yeehaw e’rybody! I just got home from Texas a couple days ago, where they don’t actually say howdy-ho OR yeehaw. But they do say y’all. And it is adorable. I came home to a very frustrated little 4 year old, who immediately burned me out, but I’m just gonna skip over all that…
