If you know me at ALL, you know I’m a Dave Matthews Band superfan. We’ll just leave it at that, so I don’t expose the maximum capacity of my nerdiness right now. For their most recent music video to the beautiful song “Mercy”, they reached out to all the fans to submit content. They asked…
Last week, as you may know, sucked. The therapies and the orthotics and just some of the day to day… feeling ridiculously overwhelmed. I had several people tell me I needed to give myself a break. I needed to take time for myself away from Stevie. I needed to remember to do things for myself…
This time we went to the Orange County Fair. And daddy got to join us! We mostly wanted to go a little closer to the coast so we could have some nice cool weather. That did not work out in our favor. It was hotter than Satan’s armpit. Shaved Ice was a necessity. But we…
The Ventura County Fair is one that always makes me sentimental. I remember going often as a kid because my Grandma Ina sold her honey there. She was about the cutest little bee-keeper you ever did see. I don’t really remember riding the carnival rides or anything, but I do remember the atmosphere. And I…
I’m really wishing I was one of those people who couldn’t possibly eat when they were stressed out. But I’m the exact opposite. Give me salties or sweets, I’ll put it away like it was my job. Totally beside the point. On to Stevie… After Vision Therapy this morning, and a really rough Physical Therapy…
I’m just going to say it. I love rompers. I know I’m 33. But I can’t help it. They’re just so easy, you don’t have to think about much when you put them on. And they are so perfect for summer. Sometimes dresses seem like the easy, breezy thing to put on, but… they make…
Whenever I drive to Southern Utah, I have to take into account the LA —-> Vegas traffic. (Or vice versa.) Oh, it is the worst. What normally takes 6 hours can take 9. If at all possible, I avoid driving there on a Friday and driving home on a Sunday. It WILL take forever. Unfortunately,…
One day last week, I felt brave. I felt really brave. Brave enough to try taking Stevie to the beach. All by myself. I completely expected it to be a huge failure. In my head, it went a little something like this: We drive for 2 hours, haul all our stuff a mile to get…
More kids. Do we want more kids? It’s the natural next step. You date. You get married. You have a baby. Then you have more babies. If you had asked me a week ago, I’d have said “Hell-to-the-no. Not gonna happen.” If you asked me today, I’d say “I’ll take 10 of these delicious squishy-faced…
Have you ever shopped for a nail polish rack? They are not that easy to find and they are pretty darn expensive. I thought I would get one of those plastic ones – like they have at the salon? But there are so many other things I’d rather do with $90, I couldn’t bring myself to click…
