We have struggled with Stevie’s sleep patterns since day one. I mean, I know babies don’t sleep, but if you followed my blog all these years, you’ll know Stevie has been a rotten sleeper well past the newborn stage. An exhausting combination of health problems, restlessness and EVERY failed sleep-training method known to man, and…

5 More Friday Confessions
I’m tempted to buy one of those hand-held tally counters and track how many times a day Stevie says “no”. I’m guessing it’s close to 40 gajillion. I’m super annoyed that the local pools don’t open until end of May. It’s been hot for 2 years straight! I need waaaater. And before you tell me…
Spring Capsule Wardrobe Update
I’m about 6 weeks into my Spring Capsule, which leaves about 6 weeks to go. This seems like a good point in the season to analyze where I’m at and make sure I’m getting the most out of my wardrobe. I have a few pieces that are not working for me. Yes, I might have gained…
Stevie Washing His Own Hair
Well, he’s trying. Doesn’t quite have it down yet… [youtube]SOCJKx_eozs[/youtube]
Creating a Capsule Wardrobe for Kids
I realize I might be getting a bit carried away with this whole capsule thing, but now that my capsule feels buckled down, I wanted to take a look at Stevie’s clothes. His drawers have been organized time and time again, but there’s only so much you can do with that much stuff. It accumulates so…
On Early Pregnancy Loss
Paul and I got the surprise of a lifetime last week with a positive pregnancy test! There were tears and hugs and nerves. I mean nerves is an understatement. I was terrified. We haven’t been trying, but we haven’t been trying not to either. With Stevie being such a challenge, I am obviously very realistic…
5 More Friday Confessions
The thing I look most forward to on the weekends is the food. I eat with no guilt. Because, like I always say, calories don’t count on weekends. Or vacations. Or special occasions. Or on bad days… Hmm… And then I wonder why the white pants I pulled out of storage from last year don’t…
Happy Birthday to My Favorite Guy!
Well, the old husband is catching up to his lady. 36 today! Happy birthday honey! I know I sing his praises every year on my blog, and this year will be no exception. He’s just the best. He gets a lot of flack for not being “fun” in the typical sense. And for sometimes leaving…
Newsies at the Hollywood Pantages
Well, I have been getting a little spoiled lately! We planned this date night awhile back – ever since I first got wind that Newsies was coming to L.A. I mentioned to my husband that I’d really like to go and then reminded him. And then emailed him for pre-sale tickets. And then emailed him again…
Emmy Screening of Parenthood
This was a good one too, you guys! We went to the Universal lot where we screened the series finale of Parenthood, complete with popcorn and spa water. It was a pretty good size crowd of adults crying their eyes out. Then almost the entire cast came out for their Q&A. If you’re a fan…
