I was talking to Stevie’s therapist about games where he throws and mentioned that “I can’t handle balls flying at my face”. It took everything I had, but I kept it together and didn’t laugh! Our neighbors were coming in the elevator with us and I didn’t want them to know we were eating McDonald’s…
Year: 2015
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
It was a hot and windy day. This mom was so desperate to do anything other than an indoor playground, that she frantically searched the internet for “Things to do in LA with kids”. I quickly ruled out art fairs, music classes and new parks in ghetto neighborhoods. One of the items that popped up…
Minimalist Packing List for an Overnight Trip
I had the ultimate indulgence this weekend when I joined my girl friends for a spa day/sleepover at the Four Seasons Hotel. Ooh lala!!! We arrived early on Saturday, enjoyed the spa amenities, got our massages and then laid by the pool for hours. Poolside food service and sun for the win! It was so…
5 More Friday Confessions
Getting a stomach bug when you’re older is the worst – I didn’t even lose any weight! Haha. But nothing feels better than feeling better. And showering for the first time in days. Being at the mercy of Stevie P. when you run out of toilet paper is interesting. After 20 minutes of yelling directions…
Oh, Just Emmy Screenings and Stuff
How did THIS happen?! Do I actually have extra teeth in this photo? Well, since my husband is all kinds of cool, he got us passes for a screening… and then before I knew it, Conan was resting his big red head against my little blonde one and I was trying to keep my eyes from popping out…
Around Here Lately
I have been so terrible about toting my camera around and, in turn, terrible about updating our goings-on around here. But of course we’ve kept plenty busy over the last couple months. If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these, so move along. Or look again if you feel like it. Before it got…
5 More Friday Confessions
My brain and I are never ever ever getting back together. Like ever. Remember those very expensive prescription sunnies I scratched? Well I scratched them again. And then I used a screen cleaner on them, which wiped the Ray-Ban logo right off. Then I left them in a dressing room and didn’t realize it until…
Mama Like: Younique Lip Stain
#1. Thanks for all the support (as usual) after my venting sesh on Monday. Ya’ll are better than any therapist I’ve talked to! And thankfully Stevie is having a much better week so far. Fingers crossed for many good days in a row! #2. Down to business! I’m always excited to try new products from Younique! Check out…
Parenting Challenge Not Accepted
Blah. To put things very plainly: I am struggling. Big surprise, I know. Like when is this chick ever not struggling?! I’m with you! Get it together already lady! Eh, this past week with Stevie… do I even say? It sucked. To the point where I couldn’t find the funny in it anymore. Tantrum in…
5 More Friday Confessions
Hello, my name is Jaana and I may have just overdone it on the self tanner. Paul and I had a date night a few weeks back. We saw Whiplash and then ate Hot Dog on a Stick at the mall like a couple of gosh darn teenagers. It was pretty perfect. There’s no feeling quite…
