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…
Today is my nephew’s 15th birthday. There’s nothing really that I can say. We are just really sad and really missing him. Cherished family times. More cherished than we ever knew they would be. You can read about Luke’s passing here and here.
As this Fall is finally feeling like Fall (for the time being), the only thing I’m really interested in wearing is sweatshirts. Comfy jeans and cozy sweatshirts. Just saying it out loud makes me feel like getting a hot cocoa to go along with it. I know it sounds like I’ve given up on fashion all…
Remember the last time I went to the eye doctor? And it was a total nightmare? And I almost gave up my will to live? You can read about it here. This time was much better. Still difficult, but better. For some reason, this ophthalmologist only has appointments available right around Stevie’s nap time. They…
When I was 14 years old, the only thing I wanted in the whole wide world was a pair of black 8-eye Dr. Marten boots. With most other clothes and shoes at the time, I was perfectly satisfied with a knock-off brand. But these Docs had to be the real deal. That AirWair tag hanging…
I’m sure you’ve all seen it. That Family Guy clip where Stewie says “mom” over and over. And oooover. Well Stevie has got it down pat. THAT is my life. All day err day. Rain or shine. Home or not. I’m a VIP in the land of Stevie. And I’ll be honest. As cute as…
I forgot a very important meeting with the school board this week to get Stevie transitioned into a Burbank district preschool. I’m usually totally on top of things like that. And I just plain old forgot. Went for a run, then came home and sat on the patio with my juice, relaxing, and decided to…
Playing a bit of catch up here. We tried the splash pads again. That went grrrrreat. I guess the splashing part of the pads caught him off guard. But it was kinda worth it for this moment. An end-of-summer BBQ at a friends’ house went much better. There was a dog, so that helped. A…
