I have never shopped on Black Friday. And I’m not even the slightest bit curious. Just ain’t about that life. I swore up and down I would NOT overdo it on Thanksgiving with the eating. The lies I tell myself year after year. We slept about 8.5 hours last night and I feel amazing. Is…
After our disastrous cousins trip last year to Disneyland, I wasn’t so sure Knott’s this year would be any better. But I kept telling myself a whole year has passed! It simply has to be better. Stevie is older and talking a lot more, so maybe that would cut down on the dramatic scenes – for instance,…
We moved. We moved, we moved, we moved! All our stuff is here in the new house. Barely a thing has been put away, but it’s all here somewhere. We hired movers and it was the best decision of our lives. When we can’t find something, we blame it on them – “movers stole it!” –…
Stevie says the weirdest things lately. But when I hear “I wanna call dad tell him Stevie farted on Gadoo’s head” I can’t help but count the words and think what a great sentence he almost made! Besides the house and backyard and upcoming decorating about to take place (the decoratiiiiing!!!), another reason I’m excited…
I’ve been super reserved about announcing anything prematurely. There are so many wheels in motion and so many things have to line up perfectly for this to work – but I don’t care anymore! I want to shout it from the rooftops!!! WE ARE MOVING INTO A HOUSE! My rockstar of a husband bought us…
In case you don’t follow me on Facebook (or Instagram or Twitter or social media in general), today you can find me on The Mother Effin Truth blog. I’ve had a post on there once before and it’s one of my favorite blogs because it’s a place where moms get to be honest with no judgement! I talk…
Of course the one week we start having awesome weather, I have most of my warmer clothes packed away for moving. I don’t even have my cozy pj’s! Stevie and I have had a pretty good run without any major blow-ups (from me). Yes, he is still pushing his limits, but I’ve managed to keep my…
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Ours was surprisingly busy. And I am surprisingly glad that it is over. I think I’m just excited for November and all the things in store the next few weeks! Friday morning we stopped by Stevie’s preschool for the Halloween parade. If you imagined that Stevie was super excited to wear…
Told Stevie “I love you” and he answered “I wove YOU… cars.” Even if I had no intention of going, when there is no line at the Starbucks drive-thru, I’m doing it. Saw that the temps will be in the 70’s next week and started making some crazy promises to Stevie of all the places we’d…
Just a quick reminder after my post yesterday, if you want to join in the party to hear some healthy living info and inspiration, there are 2 meetings today! One starts at 9am and the other at 7pm (both California time). You can use the Zoom app or phone in to listen – perfect for…
