Today was one of those days where I actually had a plan. And of course nothing went accordingly! I was supposed to go to Irvine and drop off my camera for servicing. I figured while we were down there in the OC, we might as well pop into Downtown Disney for lunch and a tram…
They look like a gang. A yoga pants wearing gang. They will never hesitate to whip a boob out. You could really get an eyeful if all the kids are hungry at the same time. They constantly shout at their uniquely named children and you will know all the kids’ names within minutes of a park playdate.…
The Petersen Automotive Museum has always been on my radar, for obvious reasons. But it seemed that every time I tried to take the car-loving Stevie, the place would be closed. It looked like just a hole in the wall, and was right across the street from LACMA, so I was never heartbroken – it was no…
I think about blogging every day. I really do. But lately, as I sit with my morning coffee and try to think of relevant topics to write about, I straight-up Draw. A. Blank. You know the blog has always been like my therapy. As I have struggled navigating parenthood, and comparing myself to other moms,…
While I’ve been 100% committed to shopping ethical and sustainable clothing brands this year, sometimes my favorite shops have a little too much cuteness happening! I can still be selective, but sometimes feeling stressed or feeling insecure gets me in a wee bit o’ trouble. Old shopaholic Jaana leaps in the room all sparkly and excited “HEEE-EYY!” And…
I’ve been having pain in my thumb joints. And sadly, I think it might be from scrolling on my phone too much. The other day my husband asked why I was acting weird and I told him it was probably from having the same conversation with Stevie 7,000 times that day. He said “well that’s…
With all my new shopping habits when it comes to clothing, I admit I haven’t completely grasped the fair trade movement 100%. I mean, what about my iPhone? There aren’t many options there. What about eating only locally grown, organic foods? I try when I can. And what about Stevie’s clothes? Sure, he has a few american-made…
Oh, the 4-day weekend that is President’s Day. You can tell I’m the parent of a Stevie when instead of being stoked for a 4-day weekend, my only response is “…well, crap.” I curse the day you were born Lincoln! Or Washington! I don’t remember which one we are celebrating. But this long weekend was…
The Disney day that almost didn’t happen because of allllll the days – El Nino decided to show up on OUR Disney day. It’s hard to believe with how hot it is right now, just 2 weeks ago, we were freezing our faces off. The tram was shut down because the heavy rains knocked over a tree,…
I am one of those Californians who saves water from the bath in a bucket and then gives it to her plants. But, given the opportunity, I’ll gladly waste gallons upon gallons of water to take a 30-minute shower. I can’t believe John Travolta is the same person who played Danny Zuko. I just can’t. I was…
