Many moons ago — when I somehow had time to write a proper blog post — I got the awesome opportunity to work with Caroline of the Unfancy blog. I was so excited to share with moms how I made my comfortable, casual minimal wardrobe work for me. I was definitely still learning a lot…
Making: bridal shower + bachelorette party plans Cooking: leaving that to the professionals Drinking: all the coffee Reading: … wut iz reading? Wanting: donuts Looking: at the longest line ever of Hot Wheels cars on my living room floor Playing: is harder than it looks Deciding: which dress to rent – this one or this one?…
Paul and I went to a timeshare presentation almost 2 years ago, purely for the free vacation and prize vouchers. Our vouchers all expired and we are still waiting for available dates to cash in that vacay. I know they are just hoping we will forget about it – but what they don’t know is Jaana never forgets about…
I’ve confessed before that I’m not really a blush person. I find it difficult to wear with my rosacea. I realized I am not a foundation person either. If I don’t like blush or foundation, maybe I’m just not really a make-up person. Yet I still continue to try. Foundation tends to feel a bit……
It’s been so long since I shaved my legs that my pants feel really weird against my bare skin. I have started snoring again. But why?? The last time I snored like this, I was very pregnant and probably about 70 pounds heavier. No snoring! I had a beautiful weekend getaway with my husband to…
I have never been more impressed with my husband’s patience than when Stevie sneezed a mouth full of food ALL OVER him, and he barely even flinched. Father of the Year status.

I think about blogging every day. I really do. But lately, as I sit with my morning coffee and try to think of relevant topics to write about, I straight-up Draw. A. Blank. You know the blog has always been like my therapy. As I have struggled navigating parenthood, and comparing myself to other moms,…
While I’ve been 100% committed to shopping ethical and sustainable clothing brands this year, sometimes my favorite shops have a little too much cuteness happening! I can still be selective, but sometimes feeling stressed or feeling insecure gets me in a wee bit o’ trouble. Old shopaholic Jaana leaps in the room all sparkly and excited “HEEE-EYY!” And…
I’ve been having pain in my thumb joints. And sadly, I think it might be from scrolling on my phone too much. The other day my husband asked why I was acting weird and I told him it was probably from having the same conversation with Stevie 7,000 times that day. He said “well that’s…
I am one of those Californians who saves water from the bath in a bucket and then gives it to her plants. But, given the opportunity, I’ll gladly waste gallons upon gallons of water to take a 30-minute shower. I can’t believe John Travolta is the same person who played Danny Zuko. I just can’t. I was…
