The last few weeks my head has been spinning! Why are we so busy?? I swear I don’t sit down from the time I wake up ’til the time Stevie goes to bed. Then, and only then, can I finally watch my long lost best friend — the television. It’s all good things. And fun things.…
Year: 2016
Taking Stock for Spring
Making: bridal shower + bachelorette party plans Cooking: leaving that to the professionals Drinking: all the coffee Reading: … wut iz reading? Wanting: donuts Looking: at the longest line ever of Hot Wheels cars on my living room floor Playing: is harder than it looks Deciding: which dress to rent – this one or this one?…
5 More Friday Confessions
Paul and I went to a timeshare presentation almost 2 years ago, purely for the free vacation and prize vouchers. Our vouchers all expired and we are still waiting for available dates to cash in that vacay. I know they are just hoping we will forget about it – but what they don’t know is Jaana never forgets about…
Mama Like: Younique Liquid Mineral Foundation
I’ve confessed before that I’m not really a blush person. I find it difficult to wear with my rosacea. I realized I am not a foundation person either. If I don’t like blush or foundation, maybe I’m just not really a make-up person. Yet I still continue to try. Foundation tends to feel a bit……
5 More Friday Confessions
It’s been so long since I shaved my legs that my pants feel really weird against my bare skin. I have started snoring again. But why?? The last time I snored like this, I was very pregnant and probably about 70 pounds heavier. No snoring! I had a beautiful weekend getaway with my husband to…
Our Little Backyard Paradise
I’ve been meaning to share house pictures for quite some time. But I haven’t taken any. So that puts a damper on things. Plus, it’s not really ready. I’m doing everything in my power to add things slowly and buy pieces that really speak to me, so it’s going to be a process. And I’m…
The Three Things
Paul and I have had a really positive experience with Stevie that I wanted to share, in hopes that other parents might give it a try as well. Since I know 90% of kids fight bedtime (WHY DO THEY HATE SLEEP?) this could give them something else to look forward to at the end of the day. And…
Easter with the Fam
So I have a confession to make. Holidays… Oh, I don’t know, you guys. I have a hard time getting excited for the holidays themselves anymore. It kinda just brings to light the yucky side of consumerism and it’s hard to enjoy the real meaning behind them. But obnoxious preaching aside, it’s such a relief…
Ziplining in Wrightwood
When one of my prettiest friends asked if we’d be down for ziplining, I answered YES! very quickly, mostly because I wanted to hang out with her and her husband. The night before we went, Paul said with big eyes “Have you seen the ziplining videos??? They are going really fast!! I don’t know if…
5 More Friday Confessions
I have never been more impressed with my husband’s patience than when Stevie sneezed a mouth full of food ALL OVER him, and he barely even flinched. Father of the Year status. Sometimes my brain to mouth filter does not work cohesively. Or my brain to fingers filter when I’m texting. Or my brain in…
