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…

Barnes and Noble
Sometimes being a parent is so boring. There is just so much of doing the same things over and over. Even things that were fun at one time become pretty stale after awhile. Stevie’s go-to this week was the bookstore. Yes! I like a good bookstore! Let’s do that! Anything’s better than the p-a-r-k, you know.…
Universal City Walk
As you may know, Stevie is not into surprises or changes in his schedule, so when I wanna go to CityWalk for lunch, I have to make sure he knows about it ahead of time. Even still, he usually doesn’t want to participate in anything that is mom’s dumb idea. But this particular day, he remembered…
The Grammy Museum at LA Live
It’s been awhile since I’ve taken Stevie anywhere new, because… well… you know. Stevie. I almost said “he’s too unpredictable”, but actually, no. That’s wrong. He is so predictable that I know we’re not going to have that much fun. So I’ve been sticking to the usual activities that involve trains and playgrounds and… I guess…
Girl Time in LA
I was so spoiled last week when I got a visit from two of the prettiest ladies you ever did see! The last time we all hung out together, Trina and I were both pregnant. FIVE YEARS AGO. Too long. So… Mission Mommy Break commence. I was a little worried with Stevie’s schedule that I wouldn’t be…
Emmy Screening for Silicon Valley
After I posted this picture, one of my Instagram friends said “OK, now you’re just showing off! Nick KrooooooollllllOK yeah, maybe a little. I just had no idea what to expect when we started going to these screenings. We were kind of thinking it sounded interesting. Maybe we’d check out one or two. But they keep getting…
Newsies at the Hollywood Pantages
Well, I have been getting a little spoiled lately! We planned this date night awhile back – ever since I first got wind that Newsies was coming to L.A. I mentioned to my husband that I’d really like to go and then reminded him. And then emailed him for pre-sale tickets. And then emailed him again…
Emmy Screening of Parenthood
This was a good one too, you guys! We went to the Universal lot where we screened the series finale of Parenthood, complete with popcorn and spa water. It was a pretty good size crowd of adults crying their eyes out. Then almost the entire cast came out for their Q&A. If you’re a fan…
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
It was a hot and windy day. This mom was so desperate to do anything other than an indoor playground, that she frantically searched the internet for “Things to do in LA with kids”. I quickly ruled out art fairs, music classes and new parks in ghetto neighborhoods. One of the items that popped up…
Oh, Just Emmy Screenings and Stuff
How did THIS happen?! Do I actually have extra teeth in this photo? Well, since my husband is all kinds of cool, he got us passes for a screening… and then before I knew it, Conan was resting his big red head against my little blonde one and I was trying to keep my eyes from popping out…
