We are here in the middle of some yucky sick days and there is really no better time to share with you guys my love & adoration for the PBS show Signing Time. Albeit annoying as hell, (but really, what kid shows aren’t?) I honestly look at it as something that has saved my life…
Year: 2013
Stevie Fan Club {Stretching Casts}
Last week, Stevie crossed (or maybe ran into) another hurdle. His feet are bad. We knew it from the moment he was born. They were going to be a problem. Last year he had leg braces but unfortunately, he refused to walk in them. At that time, we decided getting him to walk was the…
Mom Style {5 More Friday Confessions}
Went for a walk with my lovely neighbor/fellow mom the other day and offered her quite a bit of useless parenting advice – because we all love that – when all of a sudden, Stevie jumps/falls out of his stroller. Scraped his knee and everything. Didn’t I buckle him in? Well, no. Pass the trophy…
DIY Ombrè Pumpkin
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…
Stevie Fan Club {Psych Eval}
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.…
Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland
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 Farm Pumpkins
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…
Mom Style {5 More Friday Confessions}
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…
Glendale Narrows River Walk
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…
Mummi's Visit
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…
