I bring Mr. Stevie to this park called Shane’s Inspiration twice a week for Physical Therapy. It is an awesome playground near the carousel at Griffith Park and has so many options for him. He’s not crazy about the park because every time we go, I’m making him work alongside his therapist. Stand up and…

Jr. Blind of America Holiday Event
Stevie gets vision therapy through the Junior Blind of America. Thus, we get invited to all their cool little events! Well, I shouldn’t say little. Quite a turn out and quite a lot to do. The day started out well enough. We ate, played in the sensory room, visited with some familiar faces, tried some…
Heartbreak for Connecticut; Take 2
I posted a long article on Friday evening after watching the news all day and feeling very raw emotionally. But something about it wasn’t settling well with me. I was voicing my opinions and trying to find answers. And I don’t necessarily know that this is the time to do that. This just might be…
Stevie Fan Club {Video: Books + Animal Sounds}
Yes, my kid is a genius – reads books and knows all his animal sounds! Just kidding. This is purely for the cute factor. He’s been turning pages for awhile, but lately it seems like he kind of just wants to look at the pictures, which works out great for me, since I know all…
Stevie Fan Club {Bath Time Saves the Day}
Stevie wakes up from his nap around 3:30 or 4pm. Promptly at 5, I start unconsciously looking at the clock. Sometimes I realize I’m doing it and say STOP! The water will never boil if you keep staring at it. But it only means the countdown to bath time has begun. Usually I plop his…
Stripes + Floral
Look at me go! I’m on a pattern mixing role! Meaning, I’ve come up with 2 outfits so far. This time I threw in the corduroy for texture. Plus, this blazer has elbow patches. I’m a sucker for those. ____________________________________ Striped Top: J. Crew (Similar) Floral Scarf: Vintage Diane Von Furstenberg Corduroy Blazer: Land’s End…
It's Beginning to Look a Tiny Bit Like Christmas
I’ve always felt that there are two types of people in the world. Those who looooove Christmas, and those who just tolerate it. I’ve always considered myself a big fan, but I do have a confession to make. For the past 4 years or so, my Christmas cheer has been barely peeking it’s nose out to…
What I Wore to Utah: Part 2
So maybe these shouldn’t be outfit posts, but dedications to my mother’s backyard. This is kind of the side-yard. Behind me are windmill, a bush, a tree, a couple houses, and the cow pasture. For real. The cow pasture is not hers. Although, a couple times a year, the neighbor’s cows do come close enough…
What I Wore to Utah: Part 1
This is my mom’s backyard. Seriously. I know. And this is only the half that’s not landscaped. I got married here because how could I not? And now I’m taking outfit pictures here. And shooting the occasional client here. One location, so many options. ________________________________________ Striped Tee: Gap Outlet (Similar) Fringe Necklace: American Eagle (Similar) Maxi Skirt:…
Have Thanksgiving, Will Travel
Thanksgiving 2012 was so busy and so fun. The last few years we have been spoiled rotten and had two Thanksgiving dinners. One in San Diego with Paul’s relatives on the actual day, and then one at my mom’s house in So Utah over the weekend. The biggest downfall of having two Thanksgivings? All. That.…
