When I sit down to write, I am always so very optimistic. A cup of coffee at arms length. A clean desk. A cracked window for a nice breeze. But it’s never long before my coffee, quiet work station, and brain are all completely overrun by a loud little dude named Stevie. Sometimes just the…
First off, here is a quick review of the 37-piece summer capsule I started with in May (it was 38 pieces by the end), along with the outfits I have worn over the past 3.5 months. Some of the looks over time were repeat outfits or just never got documented/posted. But 36 unique outfits isn’t…
This first paragraph is always the hardest one to write. I used to love blabbing about the mundane day to day nonsense, but my writer’s block has been strong for the last… oh, 2 years or so. LOL. Today, I just have nothing much to say. It’s been a quiet-ish week. I’ve argued with family…
My friend Dacy recently posted about how quarantine has allowed her to explore what she looks like without makeup/hair/general “corrections” to her appearance. I really related to what she was saying. I so often struggle with my own self-image and am quick to criticize the way I look in my natural state. It’s become even…
We had a fairly productive weekend for a change. On Saturday, we spent some time emptying the in-laws garage because of a water leak. And then Sunday, I had the URGE TO PURGE. I only got around the cleaning out Stevie’s room, but his is the worst one in the house! So it felt good…
I am definitely starting to get excited to update my summer capsule for August – October (the hottest time of year in LA). It’s funny the things you start looking forward to when your days consist of playing nothing but Hot Wheels in different rooms around the house for so many months. I decided to…
Hope you all had a nice weekend. I spent most of the weekend confused about what day it was and daydreaming about remodeling our backyard. The warm afternoons and long days of parenting definitely have my aquarius heart longing for some poolside laziness. I’ve also been watching too much HGTV, so my Pinterest boards are…
As quarantine drags on and the news reports continue to worsen, I can’t help but feel a bit lost. I’ll be the first to admit that parenting full-time with no other outlet can make me feel a bit miserable. I keep trying to convince myself that I just need to snap out of it. Like…
Camping in the time of ‘rona. Well, I wouldn’t call it camping… or even glamping. Maybe something in between. But the past couple days we stayed at Flying Flags Campground, which is a couple hours to our north. We really wanted to do something different and try to have an appropriately social-distanced family trip. We’ve…
So, as you might remember from this post, I added a few items to my wardrobe over the past month. I wrestled with whether to officially include them in my summer capsule, or to just wait until Fall to bust them out. The loungewear has already been worn lots, so that’s in. But I almost…
