When I was 14 years old, the only thing I wanted in the whole wide world was a pair of black 8-eye Dr. Marten boots. With most other clothes and shoes at the time, I was perfectly satisfied with a knock-off brand. But these Docs had to be the real deal. That AirWair tag hanging…
I loved this from Pip Lincolne’s blog, so I’m doing it too! Making: an afghan that I started last fall and plan to finish this winter. Cooking: HAHAHAHAHA! Drinking: the usual + champagne. Reading: Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan. Wanting: a backyard. Looking: forward to cooler weather. Playing: outside as much as I can…
Paul and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary over the weekend. On Friday night, we had our traditional dinner at Arnie Morton’s Steakhouse (holla) and then on Saturday we went away for a little overnighter to Temecula. It. Was. Perfect. So relaxing. Beautiful weather. The wineries were dressed to impress. I just loved it all.…
I’ve had two very distinct summer moments this year. And they both fell on this last weekend of summer. Hey, I’ll take what I can get. After Stevie’s successful swim day, I was feeling happy and accomplished. As I drove home along the palm tree-lined streets of Burbank, I rolled down my windows and felt the…
Hey guys, I have a feature over on Stylin’ Mommies today! Just blabbing about my short hair… again. Head on over and check it out.
I have been a “runner-in-training” for about 5 years now. Meaning that, basically, I’m not very good. I’m slow and steady sweaty and probably look a little pathetic trotting along. But I love the way I feel afterward. So I keep doing it. I don’t run far, I haven’t lost any weight, and by this…
As you already know, my brother and sister and nephew came to visit over the long weekend. And I think that concludes the list of visitors at Peltekian B&B – for now. Having so many people here the last month just makes me want a much bigger house. A house where people don’t have to…
Um, is summer flying by for anyone else? Because I’m having a hard time believing that we’re headed into the second week of July. (!!) It’s been a busy summer for sure. Lots of visitors and activities. But I can’t help but long for the more carefree, easy flowing summer days. I’m here on a…
My brother, sister and nephew are here! The holiday started out slow, ended with a bang <— see what I did there? Most of the morning was spent testing out ways to wear our bandannas. Then a delightful BBQ at a friends’ house – complete with burgers, pulled pork, a pool for the kiddos, and…
My cousin and his wife came to visit from Finland and they brought their cuuuute little girl. She’s a year and 9 months and pretty much Stevie’s BFF now. They spent the week together and got along really well – minus the few times they didn’t want to share toys. But even that, in…
