Here is a simple last minute tutorial for a cute pumpkin. This is what I decided to do this year. And by this year, I mean 10 minutes ago during Stevie’s nap. Playing up the ombrè trend. Our carved pumpkins always seem to fail, so paint is the way to go! Supplies: Pumpkin 3 paint…
I debated writing about this particular evaluation at all. I am ultra sensitive about the subject (totally cried like a baby at the eval) and I also don’t want Stevie to be pigeon-holed or labeled any certain way. I don’t want people think of him differently when they hear his name or see his pictures.…
Even though I’m a Disney dork (it’s one of my endearing qualities, right?!) I have never been to Mickey’s Halloween Party. I already spend one million dollars for an annual pass with parking, so I never felt like spending an extra $74 per person to trick-or-treat was really a smart financial decision. Seriously, I sound…
Underwood Family Farms. Cutest pumpkin patch ever. There is just one problem. It’s so dang cute, that it draws quite a crowd. I swear, everyone within 100 mile radius knows about this place and visits for Halloween time. This next year, I want to try and go off-season sometime to shop their fresh fruits and…
Only 2 loads of laundry this week (!!!) If one of them hadn’t been barf stuff, I probably would’ve felt like I won the lottery! Yesterday I was totally carb-loading. “Oh, for a major run?” you might think. Nope. Just because I was home all day. Not how I imagined I would spend a day at…
Throughout this post, you will hear me referring to a river. Keep in mind, I use the term “river” lightly. This is more of a giant storm drain that is disguised as a concrete river. But I digress. When people talk about the L.A. River, it’s usually to make jokes about it. Because ew. If…
What a week we have had! I haven’t been this tired from sheer busyness in quite some time. And I’ve been avoiding my computer at all costs. There is a stack of things on my to-do list and atop my desk and in my inbox that I’ve just flat out been putting off. Procrastination is…
Are you saying it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas cards? Well, I’m sorry, you’re wrong. And here I have a guest post from Kristen Steward – known on Twitter as @InstaMommy – with some tips for getting those cards in the mail. ________________________________________________________________ Daily life seems to move at a very fast pace,…
This is my annoyance of the week, found on Pinterest. Perhaps I spend too much time there. But THIS!!! I mean painting a bathing suit on Barbie with nail polish or sharpies so that she is modest. Really?! I am all for modesty. I am a modest person. But is our society that prude that…
It hit me a few days ago that it’s October. I know. A little late? But October is pretty significant in a couple ways, including another heartiversary. When he was 10 months old, back in 2011, that’s when Stevie had his 2nd open heart surgery to patch the hole in his heart and place a…
