Opening night at The Book of Mormonnnnn. I was there! What can I say about it? Everyone knows it’s insanely offensive and completely hilarious, right? I was a little bit nervous going in that it would be too offensive for my sweet, innocent little ears. I grew up as a Mormon. And even after I…
I haven’t had a good old fashioned photo project in a long time. I racked my brain, trying to think of something creative and fun for this year, that wouldn’t get old after a couple weeks. When I started going through photos of yore, I came across some diptychs I had made years ago. And that…
Another year down. In some ways, it felt like the longest year ever, and in other ways, I can’t believe it’s gone. As I reviewed my 34 pictures from last year, I feel like I’m looking at a different person. I guess in some ways I am. But boy, I’d like to grab back a…
When you have some Marriott points to spare, what do you do? Well you take a girls’ trip to Vegas, duh. I live kinda far from my sissy and my Utah bestie, and I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I want. So I bribed them into meeting me in Vegas with…
Why do our day trips, specifically to San Diego, never go according to plan? It’s a curse or something. We either hit wicked traffic or get lost or can’t find parking or go to the wrong restaurant (twice now). It’s never just easy. Whatever. We still ended up having a nice day, once we got…
I thought the best way to make my husband laugh was to dance around like an old lady. Turns out, all you have to do is to have really big teeth! I still have a mini Christmas tree on the counter. I feel bad throwing it out because it’s alive! What am I going to…
I loved this restaurant right off the bat, because it reminded me of a sweet little diner you’d find maybe in Soho or Greenwich Village. Don’t I sound like I know New York City so well from the two whole times I’ve been there? I don’t. But this restaurant just gives off a vibe. One…
Back before the heat of the devil’s armpit arrived in Southern California, we spent a very foggy morning in Long Beach. I don’t know if Long Beach looks this way every day, but if so, I would like to live there. We walked around Shoreline Village and marveled at the quiet. A place usually so…
If my FitBit doesn’t count me chasing Stevie around the house to put on his glasses and sweater in the morning as my “very active minutes”, then it is definitely inaccurate. My heart rate is up there. Not from the running, but the aggravation. There’s a fair possibility I may overdose on gummi bears this…
We are going through a couple changes around here again. It always makes me nervous and anxious when we start something new. In my mind, I know I just need to take it one day at a time. But in real life, I still feel overwhelmed. Stevie started his new school last Monday. Ohmygosh it’s…
