I scrolled through my social media and saw everyone having the BEST HALLOWEEN WEEKEND EVERRRR for like 4 days straight. And here I was, barely able process how…

DTLA Art Installation
Here’s the deal, guys. I’m not like into art. I don’t even know what this particular art installation is called. The worst. But here’s the thing: I like seeing new, unique things. I like participating in whatever thing is all the rage (to an extent). And, most importantly, at the top of my list, is…
On Growing Up
It seems to me that all moms have a very emotional response before their babies start Kindergarten. I am witnessing it first hand, all around me. It’s the start of a new chapter. They will be with all those big kids in the elementary school! These little beings, who have been so dependent on us…
Around Here Lately: Summer Edition
It’s no secret that I have a bit of an eff you attitude towards Summer. I’m sorry Summer!! It’s not totally your fault. We certainly have our good days. I even get sad thinking you will be gone soon. And while I wonder if the heat might do me in once and for all this…

Late Night Update and Ramblings
I can’t sleep. It’s mostly dark in our room but a hint of nightlight shines from the bathroom. We don’t usually keep a nightlight on. But during the height of Stevie’s sickness, we were taking him to the bathroom 15+ times throughout the night. He is in our bed and has his back towards me…
Sick. Bad. Yuck.
I woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a truck. So I can’t even begin to imagine how Stevie feels. This poor kid. His sickies started on Thursday night with a mild case of the runs. Hey, it happens to the best of us. So I started him on the BRAT diet…
End of Summer Taking Stock
Making: big plans in my head. Deciding: where to begin with said plans. Cooking: sandwiches? Drinking: so much green tea, I have to pee like allll the time. Listening: to more Podcasts. Wanting: to revamp the ol’ blog. Looking: at a pretty messy house. Playing: Boggle on my phone. Wishing: I slept more. Enjoying: girl time,…
