I recently read a blog post that could potentially change my life. Within a a couple paragraphs, it felt like a beam of light burst above my head and my whole life suddenly made sense. Let me share this story – and you can just act like I wrote it, because it’s exactly how I…
When the cousins in Orange County invited us over for Fourth of July, we were pretty excited. Our holiday weekend last year was kind of a bust because we spent the whole day in traffic. This year, we would not make that mistake again, golldarnit! My husband had the brilliant idea to take the Surfliner train and…
So very grateful that Stevie’s eye is healing and we can go back to the local wading pools. They’re a freakin’ life saver because it requires very little effort from me. I just have to make sure he doesn’t jump, splash, or run the entire time. Because those are like the easiest rules ever for kids to…
A couple weekends ago, my sister came to visit! Yay! She brought my sweet nephew, of course, along with her boyfriend and his cute kids. They had a busy schedule getting all the CA goodness in, and fighting lots of traffic every step of the way. We couldn’t do everything with them because it was right…
Stevie had an assessment last week for behavioral therapy. This is something I should be excited about. We have wanted this for a long time. It’s supposed to help him and help all of us as a family unit. But when the assessment was over, a feeling a dread washed over me. I did not feel happy about…
Beach Day —> Stevie’s first movie —> Working —> LA Heart Walk —> Engagement Party It was one of those weekends where you almost feel like you just went from one event to another, stopping home solely to change clothes, maybe start a load of laundry, and then continue on. We somehow sneaked in watching…
It seems that strange people are often drawn to me. I have the most interesting conversations while I’m out and about. If you’re someone who likes me, I’m sorry to break it to you, but you’re probably a weirdo. Luckily I like weirdos, so we’ll all get along great. My husband works so much, that anytime he…
Making: friendship bracelets. not giving up. Cooking: quinoa. Drinking: la croix pamplemousse. Reading: old magazines from my sissy. Wanting: to learn a new skill. Looking: a little Bieberish this morning. Playing: old stuff from Shelby Lynne. Deciding: on a waterproof phone case. Wishing: more of the kids in Stevie’s class were verbal so he could practice…
Age defying treatment. You had me at hello. I don’t know you guys. I’m such a sucker for anything anti-aging. I feel like I’ve tried it all. But I haven’t stuck with one specific product for any extended amount of time. And though my products always change, I still continue my nighttime routine: Wash. Tone.…
In just 6 days, our little family will be participating in the LA Heart Walk once again. Last year we had so much fun and believe it or not, I was the top fundraiser for the event. This means only one thing – our friends, family and supporters are awesome. This year, I did not set…
