We moved. We moved, we moved, we moved! All our stuff is here in the new house. Barely a thing has been put away, but it’s all here somewhere. We hired movers and it was the best decision of our lives. When we can’t find something, we blame it on them – “movers stole it!” –…
I’ve been super reserved about announcing anything prematurely. There are so many wheels in motion and so many things have to line up perfectly for this to work – but I don’t care anymore! I want to shout it from the rooftops!!! WE ARE MOVING INTO A HOUSE! My rockstar of a husband bought us…
It’s a lot of fun to take my nephew places. He has almost the exact opposite learning style of Stevie and you don’t have to convince him to do anything. He actually wants to learn and try and see it all. Well almost all. He is thoughtful and hesitant about certain things, but mostly, he…
Some days I’m not exactly sure what I’m thinking. Like am I trying to set myself up for failure? Am I looking for frustration? Or am I really that optimistic that I think Stevie and I will have fun at a theme park. I’m going to go with optimistic. And determined. And tenacious. Yes, yes…
It’s been awhile since I’ve taken Stevie anywhere new, because… well… you know. Stevie. I almost said “he’s too unpredictable”, but actually, no. That’s wrong. He is so predictable that I know we’re not going to have that much fun. So I’ve been sticking to the usual activities that involve trains and playgrounds and… I guess…
I was so spoiled last week when I got a visit from two of the prettiest ladies you ever did see! The last time we all hung out together, Trina and I were both pregnant. FIVE YEARS AGO. Too long. So… Mission Mommy Break commence. I was a little worried with Stevie’s schedule that I wouldn’t be…
This was a good one too, you guys! We went to the Universal lot where we screened the series finale of Parenthood, complete with popcorn and spa water. It was a pretty good size crowd of adults crying their eyes out. Then almost the entire cast came out for their Q&A. If you’re a fan…
It was a hot and windy day. This mom was so desperate to do anything other than an indoor playground, that she frantically searched the internet for “Things to do in LA with kids”. I quickly ruled out art fairs, music classes and new parks in ghetto neighborhoods. One of the items that popped up…
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…
If you’ve read my blog for any time at all, you could probably gather that I’m kiiiind of a dork when it comes to living in Southern California. I love taking people from out of town on tours of the area, and usually get more excited than they do to see the landmarks (again). Wanna go…
