Besides the gloomy weather, Summer has so far been everything it’s supposed to be – a little bit of busy, mixed with days of boredom, mixed with some fun times. June started off slow enough. During the week, I have been fairly bored. To keep things moving, I’ve mostly worked on editing videos and photos…

Family Fun
As I mentioned in my previous post, we got to visit Utah last weekend for my brother’s graduation. After a quick 1-nighter in Vegas, we spent a few really lovely days at my Mom’s place. Southern Utah is an area that Hubs and I have really grown to love. We get really excited to go…
Shoppers Anonymous
So as many of you know, I have had a shopping addiction for many, many years. I’m not talking about someone who shops once a month. Or once a week. I prefer to shop every single day of my life. But since I stopped working, I’ve had to kick that bad habit and start watching…
My Two Moms!
Just wanted to say a quick thank you to my awesome Mom and my sweet Mother-in-Law. They are different in so many ways and have each faced their own unique set of challenges in life. However, in the important area of motherhood, they are the same. They are both caring, loving examples who are active…
Stir-Fry
Today, for some reason I got the urge to make stir-fry. Oh, I remember why – I saw a bag of edamame in the freezer and thought “YUM! Let’s do Asian food tonight, so I can eat that.” You all know sometimes even just coming up with an idea for dinner can be a chore,…
Day Trip!
We took a great little last-minute day trip yesterday with all the friends for Hubby’s birthday. We gathered together early in the day and made our way up north. It was a fairly rough start – we left late, we had a sick passenger, we got a speeding ticket. I wasn’t sure how this going…
Baby-Making Woes
Well yesterday was pretty shitty – to put it lightly. About a week and 1/2 ago, hubs and I found out we were pregnant! I took 2 at-home pregnancy tests 5 days apart and they were both positive. We were of course super excited, nervous, anxious…excited. All the feelings that go along with a possible…
BFF's (Blonde Friends Forever)
I have one of those rare best friends – we met senior year of high school. She was a fellow boy-crazy blonde. We had a blast together for a short while, headed our separate ways and didn’t meet up again until 8 or so years later. But somehow we were able to pick back up…
Jacuzzi Shmagoozi
The weather here has been beautiful this week. (I’m sure as I type this, the giant rainstorm they’ve predicted is brewing right outside my door). The only disappointing thing about the gorgeous, sunshiney days is that I end up standing on my balcony watching and loathing the neighbors across the street. They live in IDENTICAL…
From One Spring Break to Another...
I had all these fun visitors last week and got to spend a couple days in San Diego. Then I came home, turned around and went to Palm Springs for the weekend! I don’t know how I got so lucky! My cousin’s family came into town on Saturday and stayed with us for 2 nights.…
