Sometimes when I take Stevie out on the town, I have to talk myself into it. I have to convince myself it will be a good idea. I often tell myself if nothing else, it will make for good blog fodder. We were near LACMA anyway, so I thought we’d give it a shot. And I…
A few months ago, I spotted some water balloons at Target and remembered how fun those were as a kid! In the cart they go. Along with a bubble machine, a kite, and a big ball for Grandma’s house. All the things you need for summer, right? The bubble machine was a hit. The big…
Stevie and I have been so busy this summer and believe it or not, we’ve actually been having a lot of fun! Remember my dream of having a kid who enjoys the beach? That dream is in the process of coming true!! >> Insert cheering and hand clapping << We’ve definitely been making up for lost…
Before I can get my hair done next, a total of 10 weeks will pass. In the bleached blonde pixie world that I live in, you must know that this is basically a travesty. Hats will soon be the only answer. We are about a month into summer fun, and I have dealt with more soggy, pooh-pooh, brown-water-running-down-the-leg swim…
This was not only Stevie’s first trip to Knott’s, but mine too! I have been to Knott’s SCARY Farm a couple times – but that is much different than the regular ol’ berry farm. We spent our day in the Camp Snoopy area and Stevie loved it. He initially did not want to get on any rides…
Sneaky, sneaky 4th of July. Where did you come from? I mean BAM! All of a sudden, am I right? When I woke up on Friday, the last thing I expected was for my husband to suggest we go somewhere. I obviously am not one to turn down that offer, so we hopped in the…
I know Stevie needs to be potty trained. I know it’s up to me to do it. I fail most often in the mornings when I am certain he will poop, but I’m too tired to get up quickly and fight him all the way to the bathroom. I miiiight need a coffee maker on my nightstand.…
Sunday was the big day! The Congenital Heart Walk of Greater Los Angeles. The event that I haven’t shut up about. The event that I’ve been raising money for. The event that will help fund more CHD research, which we desperately need. You know. That one. You probably donated a couple bucks! There were a LOT people there!…
Let me tell you a little something about taking a 3-year old to the beach. Actually, I should clarify. Because I have seen plenty of Instagram photos and Facebook posts where 3-year olds are having an amahzing time at the beach. So, correction: Let me tell you a little something about taking MY 3-year old to the beach. (and a…
I’ve only been to Underwood Family Farms at Halloween time to pick pumpkins. But I had never been to their smaller farm in Somis. It was so nice! The weather was pleasant and the berries were ripe. We were on the late side for blueberries, so there wasn’t much to speak of. But the strawberries!…
