This day was just nuts. Paul and I must have been off our game, because everything seemed to go wrong. We had a great time when it was all said and done, obvi, but wouldn’t blame our friends if they never wanted to hang out with us again! They were visiting from Utah and had…

Stevie Fan Club {First Day of Preschool!}
7am: Wakeup! 8:30am: Leave the House 9am: Arrive for school 10am: Handwashing Time 10:10am: Snack 10:30am: Outdoor Play 11:15am: Circle Time 11:45am: Lunch (FINALLY!) 12pm: Free Time 12:30pm: Outdoor play/Go home! I think it’s safe to say his first day was a success overall. About 10 minutes after we arrived, he told me “all done”…
T-Shirt + Shorts + Boots + Photobomb
It was 85 degrees on Saturday. Naturally, I was thrilled about that. (Psha. Please note the sarcasm.) But it was a great, busy weekend. And it was back to being nice and cool on Sunday, so I didn’t have to be grumpy about sweating. But this not a weather blog, so let’s talk about something…
Stevie Fan Club {First Haircut}
The hair. The mane. The moptop. The scrappy ‘do. The coiff. The fluff. The rats nest. The tangles. The curls. It had many names. And it’s all gone! {In case you missed his debut on Instagr.am, this is the pic I posted} And here are pictures from the SuperCuts: I swear I brushed it. And…
Stevie Fan Club {First Blanket Fort}
What kid doesn’t love a blanket fort?! Well… mine will have to warm up to the idea. But I am sure eventually he’ll learn to love it! I coaxed him into our little hideaway by putting his fire truck in there. He left immediately. I pulled him back in and giggled at his electric hair. Then…
Therapy Breakthrough
It is not often I do 2 blog posts in one day, but I’m pretty amped about this one. My apologies in advance for my “excited voice” (again). But this moment was so worth it! I know it seems like a simple enough task. Stevie needs to pull two items apart. What you don’t know…
Vid: How I Trim My Bangs at Home
My hairstylist is gonna kill me when she sees this! I’m sure I do it all wrong. And I look like I’m going to trim my eyelashes instead of my bangs. What can I say? I like to live on the edge. So far, it has worked out okay…
Stevie Fan Club {Fire Trucks}
Stevie doesn’t take interest in much, so when I noticed that he was imitating the sound of fire trucks going by, I really tried making it a thing. Whenever I hear a fire truck, I ask him “Did you hear that?” (In my best Buddy the Elf voice). And whenever we see one, I take…
DIY Painted Clock: FAIL
If you thought the back seam on my curtains was bad, wait til you see this…. I’ve really wanted a cute clock for our cute patio, but I don’t like any of the outdoor clocks I’ve seen. I thought maybe I could just take a super simple one and paint it to my liking… And…
Shorts + Tights + Pleather Sleeves
This jacket with pleather sleeves. Oh, it was love at first sight. Then someone referred to them as pleeves. And I loved it even more. This outfit looks a little fussy, but at home when I take off my boots & jacket, it’s quite comfortable. The shorts are too big, the tights are warm and…
